Re: [pygame] blitting from-to surface with per-pixel alpha doesn't work...

Once you've managed setting up a working PyOpenGL environment (never
done it myself, so no tips or anything) I'd highly recommend looking
into NeHe's OpenGL tutorials at http://nehe.gamedev.net

They're written in C, but for the most part all of the drawing stuff is
the same.  I believe they've even ported a fair number of the
tutorials over to Python.

What resources would you recommend for learning how to work with OpenGL?
Everything I've seen so far I've really had a hard time wrapping my brain
around, and I'd like to think I'm a fair to middlin' programmer and I'm
certainly not a math-o-phobe (though my linear algebra is a mite bit
rusty).  I've tried to teach myself OpenGL and each time I only feel like
I half get it.  I just haven't had any "aha!" moments with it yet.
