  • So this is how you should install Panda3d and examples:
    • First, make sure that you have Python 3.7 (64 bit! The default is 32 bit). Make sure that your path environment points to this, and not any other 3.x versions that you’re hoarding on your machine.
    • pip install panda3d==1.10.3
    • Then download the installer and DON’T select the python 3.7 support: Panda3d_install
    • Finish the install and verify that the demos run (e.g. python \Panda3D-1.10.3-x64\samples\asteroids\main.py): asteroids
    • That’s it!
  • Discussed DARPA solicitation HR001119S0053 with Aaron. We know the field of study – logistics and supply chain, but BD has totally dropped the ball on deadlines and setting up any kind of relationship with the points of contact. We countered that we could write a paper and present at a venue to gain access and credibility that way.
    • There is a weekly XML from the FBO. Downloading this week’s to see if it’s easy to parse and search
