New Book and Online Robot Simulator

No necessarily. While I prefer using switch/case as well since I think it makes the code more readable, I have found that if/then's generate smaller code at least when using avr-gcc. At least this was the case (no pun intended) a while back. I'll need to double check the latest GCC version to see if it performs similarly.

I discovered this while doing some work on an AT90S2313 a while back which has only 2K of flash. The code was getting very tight and I was able to free up a significant amount of space by rewriting switch/case as if/then.

I'm still waiting on my copy, though. Amazon says it shipped today.

Hi Randy,

Thanks for taking a look at the robot simulator. Joe and I are hoping that it will help people get an idea of how easy it is to do powerful things with a behavior-based robot architecture.

Could you please email me a description of the problems you had with the simulator? I'd like to look into getting the bugs worked out.

Thanks!

Daniel Roth
