ANN: OGLE 1.0 -- Trivial OpenGL engine in Python

[Erik Max Francis]

Summary

    OGLE is a very trivial OpenGL graphics engine, written entirely
    in Python.  It's primary focus is rapid prototyping and
    experimentation, so it only supports the barest essentials, with
    focus on wire frames.  Special emphasis is placed on particle
    systems (where non-interacting particles follow simple rules).

    Some familiarity with OpenGL is expected, although when exploiting
    the particle system abstractions no specific OpenGL knowledge is
    required.

    Demos included are the obligatory spinning polyhedra, static views
    of conic sections and the Solar System, a 3D surface plotter, a
    fountain of sparks, a swarming behavior model, a random walk
    example, a whirpool effect using gravity and drag, and an example
    of chaos theory and sensitivity to initial conditions.


Getting the software

    The software is available in a tarball here:
    http://www.alcyone.com/pyos/ogle/ogle-latest.tar.gz.

    The official URL for this Web site is

Requirements

    - A functioning OpenGL system.  Those
      who do not have any special OpenGL-supporting hardware can
      install MesaGL.

    - GLUT. Often this will be integrated into your OpenGL system, but
      you
      may have to install it separately.

    - PyOpenGL 2.x.
