Visual Studio Issues:

• Tried to compile RCS System and I keep getting:  ERROR spawning ‘RC.exe’
• I thought this might have been because my libraries were in the wrong spot but then I noticed that I could not compile any C++ programs.
• Forums say to reinstall VS 2008 or install vc++ components
• If you have this problem and need to look up you VS key, this post will tell you where to find it:  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/529064/visual-studio-2008-product-key-in-registry
• Download for VS 2008 pro kept stopping.  Going to try to download it at home.
• Installed VS2010 because we had it.  Using it for now but I still want to get 2008 back on so I don’t have to worry about the projects being compatible.
• ctrl+j forces the auto-complete to pop-up when programing in VC++

Learning 3d opengl:

• While waiting for the terminal pads and other components to come, I have decided that it would be good to take another look at openGL so I can be more useful on the software side of the project.
• Previously, I only used opengl to make a 2d sliding box with friction, for testing our first prototype.  This was very simple because the camera could be straight on and there was only one object to worry about moving.
• Phil recommended that I make a planetary system with 3 planets, moons around the planets, and moons around the moon to practice the basics.
• I am going to read through the openGL book tonight and start trying to make the system tomorrow.  If the pads arrive, I will start attaching them first so we can get the hand working.
