This is my personal code. To actually get something that works, you
may have to go back a few revisions. If you can be bothered. I'm sure
other people have many other possible contributions.

2D scene graph
http://svn.xerian.net/xerian.net/nervis/trunk/nervis/sg.py

2D state engine
http://svn.xerian.net/xerian.net/nervis/trunk/nervis/engine.py

My own resource management strategy:
http://svn.xerian.net/xerian.net/nervis/trunk/nervis/resource.py

Another scene graph implementation, with only a OpenGL backend:
http://svn.xerian.net/xerian.net/opre/trunk/opre/

And another one:
http://svn.xerian.net/xerian.net/SiGL_legacy/trunk/SiGL/


As the code currently stands, it needs work, Most of it is in some
state of flux between projects, and is disorganised.

The point is, if these tools (esp. the scene graph) were a standard
pygame tool, I personally would put more effort into extending an
official tool, rather than continually hacking and re-arranging my
own. An official pygame-contrib would encourage more collaboration,
and provide better tools.
