tartley.comThis is second in a series of articles about algorithmically generating geometry to drive OpenGL from Python. << Back to part 1 Last time we got as far as creating some instances of our super-simple Shape class, and having Glyph and Render classes convert those to arrays for OpenGL and render them. This time, we [...]
This is a transcript-from-memory (what I wish I’d said) of the talk I just gave at EuroPython 2010, for which I owe a debt of gratitude to Richard Jones for his last-minute moral support while wrestling with projectors and refresh rates; and to the whole team of hard-working volunteers, especially John Pinner & Richard Taylor, [...]
I’ve been loving the two days of tutorials preceding the EuroPython conference. This morning I attended Richard Jones‘ splendid Introduction to Game Programming.

Dear Julio, Many thanks for considering me for this opportunity. I feel as though my skills are a good match for the position, and would like you to consider my application. I feel as though this is the start of a new phase in life for me, as though I have really rounded a corner. [...]
