Re: [pygame] PyGame / PyOpenGL Example

["René Dudfield" <renesd@xxxxxxxxx>]

Apart from Richards shameless self promotion of pyglet, here's some
other things to look at...


Have a look in the Demo directory of pyopengl for many goodies.  It's
an often overlooked place of python opengl code.

If you want to render text in 3d: http://ttfquery.sourceforge.net/

soya, openglcontext, python-ogre, blender, vision egg, visual
python... the all have text stuff.  Have a look here for more goodies:
http://www.vrplumber.com/py3d.py

And here's how to use pygame gui libraries(pgu, ocemp etc) with opengl:
http://pitchersduel.python-hosting.com/browser/branches/Lamina/

There's some easy to use demos included with Lamina using pygame to
render in 2D and only updating the screen as needed.

Also have a look at http://pygame.org/wiki/CookBook  There appears to
be some text things in there too.


Good idea about adding to pygame examples of such a common thing.
Mostly people go to the pyopengl Demo directory for opengl stuff - but
we should put something like this into pygame too.  Maybe Lamina
itself should be included with pygame.

For now the cookbook would be a great place to put examples for this.
