Thank you, DLuders. dolittle, I think the program will be the perfect way to tell a story -- or to make a fully functional autonomous robot, in some cases, using finite state machines or behaviour-based systems for control. As Scratch is aimed at children as young as eight, it'd be difficult for me to aim for a younger group with a harder-to-use program : ) I hope it'll be useful to people as young as nine or ten, and useful to adults as well. I'm thrilled to hear you think it might be useful to ones to young -- it indicates I'm on the right track! Cheers, Clinton

Greetings. I've been working on a program to enable people to more easily program their LEGO Mindstorms NXT robots, called Enchanting. It is somewhat similar to NXT-G, but is based on Scratch, a popular programming environment for children. A nine-minute demonstration video is on the site, and version 0.0.4 is available for download (but requires LeJOS NXJ to be installed and working). Cheers, Clinton B
