Re: [pygame] Hardware acceleration

["Brian Fisher" <brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would definitely recommend using OpenGL in Pygame to get hardware
acceleration vs. using SDL's HW acceleration. It's a significant
amount more to learn and grok, but there's not a lot of work or code
really to start getting neat stuff (like rotation and scaling, and
other blend modes)

there was a very recent post requesting for an example of PyOpenGL in
PyGame, here is my reply with a runnable sample:

there are a couple other neat examples referenced in the thread as well
