I’ve been looking at a possible game conversion across to PythonOgre – something open source (of course), simple and yet fun.  This path has been down a few times and previously I’ve looked at a FPS for initial conversion.  However I’m now thinking about a simple car racing game as I can get to play with interesting physics along the way.
