I'm not sure if this is a right forum to ask for this. I am wondering if
there is anyone who may be interested in working with 10 high school kids on
learning how to do robosoccer.

How might I implement a pop-up parts description when a student points the mouse
at a part on the screen? Granted this procedure needs a library of part names
in the language of choice.
I imagine having to define a collision mask around the part and declaring it as
an object. On mouse-enter, the pop-up appears with the correlated description.
Does anyone know how to link another program to the NXT constructopedia?
Best,
Edwin Pilobello

I want to try using game software to help children, junior high and high
school kids, explore fundamental A.I. Any suggestion out there? I have
started in looking into Multimedia Fusion Development Software. I'd like to
find out if there is better resource out there?

John Hansen has released a utility that's great for projecting the NXT screen
for the entire class to see. There are two versions in a zip file.
<http://bricxcc.sourceforge.net/nextscreen.zip>
I've already used NeXTScreen2 in class to demonstrate how to use the View mode.
It worked marvelously.
To run:
1. Download and unzip the two versions of the utility to a folder of your
choice. NeXTScreen2 displays a graphic of the NXT with clickable buttons.
NeXTScreen just shows the screen with text icons for buttons. Both work the
same way.
2. Run the version of your choice.
3. Connect the NXT to the PC using a USB cable and turn it on. Start polling by
pressing Ctrl-P on the PC.
4. Proceed with your demonstration using your mouse to click on the button
icons on the PC. Your actions will also actuate the NXT as if you had pressed
its keys directly.
There's more to be found in the original discussion in lugnet\news\Robotics\nxt
under the heading "Another new NXT Utility"
