In the early 2000s, I was working with my friend Paul and his roommate, also named Paul at his web design company called Streamline Media. It was a fun little place to work filled with multimedia artists, sound engineers and programmers. We did our fair share of 3D work for websites and print. One of our bigger clients was a local company that made CNC router tables. I had the opportunity to model and sometimes animate their tables using A:M. It wasn't until they asked if we could import some of their CAD files that I realized I needed to start learning a polygon modeler like LightWave 3D. That took me down a different path for a few years. Here are some renders I did for the CNC tables using A:M

Found it! It turns out I accidentally re-declared voter_count within main() by putting int in front of it when i used it in a line of code. That happened because I had an int in this sample code to replace Harvard's get_line string sample_value_string; getline(cin, sample_value_string); int sample_value = stoi(sample_value_string); When I re-used that template, I forgot that sample_value might have previously been declared in a program such as we are doing. Re-declaring it in main() meant that there were two different voter_count variables in the program... the global voter_count and a voter_count that was only known in main().
