Hiya Alex... my first question is.... why did you call QX3, QX3?? why not something like OQ3 (On-line Quest V3!) or something else.
And my second question is are you going to come out with a QDK for the QX3 in the future?? This would make programming for it much easier for people interested in it!
C U later!

I called QX3 "QX3" because it sounded cool. I've since discovered Intel have a toy microscope with exactly the same name... obviously they thought anything with a Q, and an X in the name was cool as well.
As you may have noticed QX3 development is at a bit of a lull at the moment - the current build has expired and I've still not got round to putting up a new one yet. But there will, eventually, be a QDK-style visual editor for QX3 (most likely I'll just add QX3 support to the existing QDK - much simpler than having a separate product).
I am rather busy with studying and consuming alcohol at the moment though, so I can't promise anything terribly soon. But I'll try.
