Basic Tutorials

These tutorials assume you know nothing about Python-Ogre, and step you through the process of using the engine one concept at a time. These tutorials are where you should start learning Python-Ogre.

Basic Tutorial 4

Frame Listeners and Unbuffered Input

Basic Tutorial 5

Buffered Input

Basic Tutorial 6

The Ogre Startup Sequence

Basic Tutorial 7

CEGUI and Ogre

Multiple and Dual SceneManagers

Advanced Tutorials

These tutorials cover either a topic either very broadly or very in-depth. It is assumed that you have some Python-Ogre experience and are able and willing to look up any concepts which are not fully covered in these tutorials. It is possible that these tutorials will have multiple files, and multiple parts, so be sure you are fully familiar with Python.

Advanced Tutorial 1

Resources and ResourceManagers

Intermediate Tutorials

These tutorials each cover a specific aspect of using Python-Ogre. Note that these are kept as simple as possible. In some cases, good Object Oriented design is discarded for the sake of simplicity and clarity (though I will always try to point these design flaws out).

Intermediate Tutorial 1

Animation, Walking Between Points, and Basic Quaternions

Intermediate Tutorial 2

RaySceneQueries and Basic Mouse Usage (Part 1 of 2)

Intermediate Tutorial 3

Intermediate Tutorial 4

Volume Selection and Basic Manual Objects

Intermediate Tutorial 5

Static Geometry

Intermediate Tutorial 6

Projective Decals

In Depth Tutorials

These basic tutorials go further in depth into the specifics of a topic, and may not present a complete application from start to end as many of the other tutorials do. These are where you should go when you are more interested in a single topic.

QuickGUI Tutorial

Maybe someone has a tutorial for here

OPCODE

For here too :D

If you are over the level of the Intermediate Tutorials, check out the PythonOgreArticles and think about writing a tutorial or participating otherwise. Also look in the Cookbook for many code samples.
