My Design Study: [[OO Python Character Animation Design Study]]
  
My honours project is a graphical application to display an animated figure and associated data, written in Python, and using OpenGL libraries. I wish to make this a nice slick OO application, but I'll be facing several challenges.

-Python is a loosely typed language. This makes things easier in some ways (no variable declarations, and no need to cast), but harder in others, particularly as I've never written OO in a loose language before.

-OpenGL is very procedurally based. To get around this I'll have to build some kind of nice wrapper(s) so that we can use OpenGL in an OO way.

-How to relate graphics code to object code. Should each object have a drawX() method, or will this wind up raping and pillaging the neatness of the program? We'll soon find out, so don't change that channel.  I suspect this will be the core issue I face in this design study.

Before we begin this design study we should look at the project in its present state.  It's currently rather a mess. There are currently a small number of objects used, but most of it is a typical OpenGL app with procedural code.
