OK,
I have since revised my estimate...
After much googling I can't find a way to draw wimple textures with
OpenGL, so I have looked again at the Pyglet API.
Making a HUD with Pyglet was actually surprisingly easy, so that was nice.
My next thing is I need to run Pyglet and WX event loops in tandom - as
I mentioned before there are parts of the client I really need a full
GUI solution for.
Has anyone successfully ran the Pyglet event loop from inside WX? I'm
guessing that's the easiest solution.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
First let me start off by saying I won't be using Pyglet for this
system, so it's more general information that I need.
I am writing a game using wxPython for my UI toolkit, but I want to
include like a visual map. I am blind, so this isn't something I've
done before, and I don't want it to look like a half-baked effort.
I'm not expecting to set the world on fire here - initially I plan to
colour the different squares with concrete, sand, metal, water whatever.
I haven't yet hit google, but I thought I'd send out this general post
so that hopefully I can skip over some of the hundreds of things I
expect I'll start reading.
So here's my questions:
- Is there some prefered way to draw maps in Open GL?
- Do I use pure colours for my squares? Or does GL have textures I can
use for say sand and metal and water?
- If I then overlay icons (player and object avatars) on the squares,
will it look OK?
- How many squares can I realistically fit onto a screen? I plan to
implement a zoom feature, but by default I was thinking 4 squares on
either side of the player, so they'll be at the centre of a 9x9 grid
(totalling 81 squares).
Cheers, and sorry for what are probably quite stupid questions.
Cheers,
Chris
