Prima

I sometimes talk about the other project I am working on, but I think it would help if you could see what it is I'm talking about so I put up the current in-development version of "Prima."

You can get the zip here. To run it, just find "main.py" and double-click (I think that's how it works in Windows, let me know if it chokes). You'll need Python, PyGame, and PyOpenGL.

Basic premise is a roller-coaster (albeit a cheesy one) in the mountains (or whatever height map is specified). But the main idea is to create a world where I can test whatever random 3d concept/model/etc I want. It isn't really intended as a game engine, but maybe a really simple game could work.

Controls:
R: reset the camera position to 0,0,0
C: Add a new control point to the roller-coaster track
SPACE: Toggle between navigate mode and pick mode (pick mode is for dragging the control points around the scene)
L: Toggle Lighting
F: Toggle Fog
T: Toggle texture mapping method (Linear, Bi-Linear, Mip-mapped)
Z: Possess world objects
N: Go to the next possessable object (the only interesting object to possess is the "train")

Use the mouse to rotate the camera in a fairly typical FPS style
Scroll-wheel adjusts camera along Y-axis (up/down)
Holding right-button moves in and out of scene
Holding shift while mouse-wheel scrolling or right-button holding makes it go faster

There are a few other keys I am probably forgetting, just check the events() method of the Scene class for others.

Awesome, I will check it out.

Is it just me or is the navigation of the PyOpenGL page horrible? I tried to click on "Downloading and Installation" 3 times before I realized it wasn't a link Very Happy

I agree, that text on the side definitely appears to be a navbar, but it is really only outlining the different sections of text on the right. But the reference pages are awesome, so I tend to forgive them for anything else.
