Frustration!

Views

So after a few days of being busy with other stuff (my company potentially closing down), I got some time to work on the CyberTable.

Last night I completed these tasks:

- Install Visual Studio 2005
- Install Latest OgreSDK
- Install DirectX SDK

Let me say that Vista sucks! I couldn't even compile the example Ogre apps because the damn OS would not give Visual Studio the ability to write files when building. I had to waste a half hour online to figure out that I needed to set "open as Administrator" in the properties tab of the VS devenv.exe. WTF?
I am really not impressed with Vista so far. The graphics are nice, but the constant barrage of questions about everything sucks hard. I knew that starting this project on a new machine would be difficult so I am just going to have to grin and bear it.
Next on my agenda:

- Install XBox360 Controllers
- Test Battle Kart to ensure that my games work on my new system
- Convert Battle Kart to compile/run with the newest OgreSDK
