This is my attempt at making the MSP430 Launchpad as simple to program as the Arduino.
* This will hopefully work with your compiler, but it is designed to compile using the toolchain from http://code.google.com/p/osx-launchpad/ 
* You will want to add '-std=gnu99' to your CFLAGS in your makefile too.

Very simple example:

    #include "../friendly_launchpad/friendly_launchpad.h"

    void setup() {
      // initialize the red led as output
      pinMode(10, OUTPUT);
      // initialize the green led as output
      pinMode(16, OUTPUT);
    }

    void loop() {
      // Flash the lights
      digitalWrite(10, HIGH);  
      digitalWrite(16, LOW);
      delay(500);
      digitalWrite(10, LOW);  
      digitalWrite(16, HIGH);
      delay(500);
    }

Another example:

    #include "../friendly_launchpad/friendly_launchpad.h"

    /*
      Button
     
     Turns on and off a light emitting diode(LED) connected to digital  
     pin 13, when pressing a pushbutton attached to pin 2. 
     
     
     The circuit:
     * LED attached from pin 13 to ground 
     * pushbutton attached to pin 2 from +5V
     * 10K resistor attached to pin 2 from ground
     
     * Note: on most Arduinos there is already an LED on the board
     attached to pin 13.

    // constants won't change. They're used here to 
    // set pin numbers:
    const int buttonPin = 13;     // the number of the pushbutton pin
    const int ledPin =  10;      // the number of the LED pin
    const int ledPin2 =  16;      // the number of the LED pin

    // variables will change:
    int buttonState = 0;         // variable for reading the pushbutton status

    void setup() {
      // initialize the LED pin as an output:
      pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);      
      pinMode(ledPin2, OUTPUT);      
      // initialize the pushbutton pin as an input:
      pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);     
    }

    void loop(){
      // read the state of the pushbutton value:
      buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);

      // check if the pushbutton is pressed.
      // if it is, the buttonState is HIGH:
      if (buttonState == HIGH) {     
        // turn LED on:    
        digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
        digitalWrite(ledPin2, LOW);
      } 
      else {
        // turn LED off:
        digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); 
        digitalWrite(ledPin2, HIGH);
      }
    }

    /*
      State change detection (edge detection)
      
     Often, you don't need to know the state of a digital input all the time,
     but you just need to know when the input changes from one state to another.
     For example, you want to know when a button goes from OFF to ON.  This is called
     state change detection, or edge detection.
     
     This example shows how to detect when a button or button changes from off to on
     and on to off.
      
     The circuit:
     * pushbutton attached to pin 2 from +5V
     * 10K resistor attached to pin 2 from ground
     * LED attached from pin 13 to ground (or use the built-in LED on
       most Arduino boards)
