[pygame] 3-D stuff
I'm really rusty in my 3d algorithms (it's taken me a while just to figure
out how to determine normals :)
I've been playing with pygame/pyopengl (well, mostly pyopengl so far) and I'm
running into problems remembering fairly basic formulas :(
I have a point which has a movement vector. I need to know if the point will
be "behind" a plane (defined by three points) given a displacement by that
vector. If it does cross the plane, I need to know what the reflection vector
will be. Does anyone have any algorithms / python code / URL references that
they could please throw my way?

ps. I have a few things I could contribute to the pygame code repository. I
don't use pygame _yet_, just pyopengl. Eventually I'll want to do more that
just make pretty pictures though. The code I have does stuff like render a
3-d repeating map, generate a spark trail type thing, ... Is that useful
stuff for the repository?
