[Baypiggies] current topic schedule for February, March, and April

[Zachary Collins]

I've been sparse lately with my attendance, but I'm planning to start
showing up regularly again in March.  Anyways, I'd be interested in
doing either a main topic or newbie nugget Panda3D.  I've recently
been using it very successfully with a couple of friends to develop a
very attractive, seriously constructed game, and I've found it
amazingly useful to that end (more so than pyGame + OpenGL bindings by
a long shot).  I could present something in May with samples from our
project.

I could do this as a newbie nugget and explain some very basic game
development / 3d concepts that can be written in amazing succinct 10
line bits.

Or a much more in depth exploration of why I chose it over other
python game development kits and how to get alot out if.
