The idea is based on "OnScreen" Copyright © 1999 by David R. van Wagner, and "LegOS 0.2.4" Copyright © 1998 by Markus L. Noga.

However, the code (firmware) for the Lego "RCX Pocket Programmer" has been completely rewritten to provide much more and enhanced functionality.

Unfortunately, unlike OnScreenProgramming, the source code for this Pocket Programmer is not currently available, but available binaries are posted under Releases.
