So you can choose what language you want to use?  For example, could you use
a C++ programing program like MS Visual C++, and transfer it to the RCX?  Or
is there specific software that comes with it?

Generally, I believe? (please don't flame me) the most popular comprimise
for beginners and pros alike is NQC, the author of which you can usually
find here abouts

As for the kind of programming you do, that really is up to you, you have
around 32K of memory to play with (minus whatever the language you decide to
use takes up ) , I myself am just coming to the end of my University
Dissertation where I successfully employed Genetic Algorithms to provide
autonomous learning with the RCX. Or you could just make a funky looking
dinosaur.. you really could do pretty much what you want to

What kind of programming do you do with the RCX?
