NAME

       nbc - Compiler for LEGO Mindstorms NXT

SYNOPSIS

       nbc [options] file [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the nbc command.

       nbc is a program that compiles Not eXactly C (NXC) files or NeXT Byte Code (NBC) files into programs that
       can run on the standard LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT firmware or the enhanced NBC/NXC firmware. The  nbc  compiler
       can  either  save the compiler output to a file or upload it to a LEGO Mindstorms NXT for execution.  The
       compiler can also compile NXT Picture files (.ric) using the text-based RICScript  language.   Since  nbc
       can  compile  different programming languages it uses the file extension to determine the type of code it
       is compiling.  NXC programs should use the .nxc file extension, NBC programs should  use  the  .nbc  file
       extension, and RICScript programs should use the .rs file extension.
