Am I right in understanding that you basically have to choose between Pygame's normal (SDL) drawing functions, like surface.blit, and OpenGL's? You can't just draw a 3D scene like that of the code above, and then blit an interface or text atop it. Instead you have to switch to a 2D mode, turn your Pygame drawing into an OpenGL texture, and draw a rectangle textured with the new drawing -- and delete/replace the texture every time you want to change something. That's so cumbersome that I've barely ever gotten it to work; is there a better way to integrate OpenGL and Pygame graphics?
