Re: [pygame] Nehe Lesson 19

I think you'll find a particle engine close to unusable without VBOs  
or python-specific acceleration. For now, code it however you'd like,  
but when it comes time to run your actual game, you'll find that you  
have problems with performance. You're going to need to use numpy to  
manage the particles and pass this information to PyOpenGL directly.
