I've released a new library opengl_extrusions which is a Numpy and Cython library that does 3D extrusions (like the GLE library) and tessellations (one of the things the GLU library does).

Another OMI-based extension, this time for positional audio mixing.

I had Claude code up an OMI Physics package using Numpy.

Continuing on with the Open Source work.

I've been trying to make some time for Open Source projects again.

So I'm currently trying to figure out why the PyOpenGL 3.12 test suite is failing.

It seems that we've removed an entry point that pip 22.0 uses from Python 3.12.

So starting to think about a PyOpenGL 4.x release, which would be first to drop Python 2.7 support, so the first one where type-hints can be used to declare metadata for type-coercion (vs the current nonstandard type declarations).

So I spent some of the Victoria Day weekend on PyOpenGL.

So trying to spend a bit of my vacation going through PyOpenGL issues.

In Pycraft, I figured out the Potions-with-custom-effects, the problem being that Bukkit's PotionEffectType doesn't actually implement the keyed interface, but instead has its own .values() call, so needs a whole special handler.

So one of the long-standing requests from the boys has been that we have the ability to create potions from Pycraft's in-game REPL.

Pycraft has remained relatively obscure.

As a general rule, I don't like to just stop supporting Python releases just for the sake of deprecation.

Spent a bit of my second-last-day-of-vacation cleaning up the PyOpenGL Demos so that they run with current Python 3.10, PyOpenGL, numpy and PIL and can be installed as a package rather than only being usable via a git checkout.
