RE: [pygame] 3D engine ?

["Mike C. Fletcher" <mcfletch@home.com>]

Just a clarification, the "scene graph" offered by OpenGLContext is a very
primitive thing.  I've been focusing primarily on the actual context, and
testing code rather than making a fully functional scene graph API.  (I'm
one of those who is looking for a real scene graph API a while ago).

Enjoy,
Mike

I am working on a 3D maze with OpenGL and pygame. If someone else doesn't
produce a 3D engine for pyopengl, I probably will out of the stuff I need
to write for the maze and future games. I'm running into an interesting
issue right now: glut provides a method by which to request a display with
a stencil buffer, but pygame doesn't seem to. Is this planned for the
future, or does someone know another way I can request a stencil buffer
(other than switching to glut for windowing routines)?

Also, people were asking about a scene graph and various other utility
routines a while back. PyOpenGL 2.0 provides OpenGLContext, which provides
a scene graph. Unfortunately, version 2 is not yet packaged for Debian.
