Hello everyone!
There is quite a few programming languages/programs that you can use for VEX nowadays.
I made this straw poll to see what you are using.
Note* If you answered “other” please answer down below what you are using. *
i use swift
Fancy! Thats really cool!
Really? Did you have to implement an API yourself, or did you find a library?
i wish 
not really
but its basically my dream
Psssh. Using code? I use 1’s and 0’s. But in all seriousness, I’m in a transition period, so I’m using both RobotC and PROS.
I don’t even think it would be that hard, but I don’t know Swift. Why Swift?
This year, I’m using PROS, but last year I used ROBOTC
not necessarily swift, but I really like the editor. Xcode is l bae
What am I doing wrong with PROS?
When I go to create a new VEX Project, its not there. It just says project.
@Murf I think it only does vex sooooooo
@phantom285A Has it improved that much? When I used it a couple years ago, it was too slow to use effectively. Now I use Atom, and it’s amazing
Its an IDE, it includes C and C++ programming.
xcode is amazing 10/10 100% 100% 100% 100%
It’s a plugin for Eclipse.
Here’s my project directory. If you have this, you’re golden:
- bin/ - Holds the build
- common.mk - Makefile configuration?
- firmware/ - Has the API stuff
- include/ - H files and such
- Makefile - builds project
- src/ - C files
What makes you like it so much?
I use robotc and I’ve dallied in PROS a TINY bit and might go into it but with the way programming is this year, with a long autonomous favored over a fancy code, I’m probably going to just stick with robotc…
Does yours do this @brendanmcguire?
In this new Project wizard, I picked the “VEX Cortex/VEX Cortex PROS Project” template. It has a little cortex icon next to it
