[Bf-python] Getting started with game blender python

[Nick Winters]

I know of no such list or forum

the blender module in game blender shouldn't be used, but it does work

...somewhat...

the blender module is only availiable inside of blender, it isn't in
the plugin or the standalone runtime.

changes in nmesh objects will take effect after scene changes, and
there isn't really much more you can edit.

however, meshes can be modifed in the game engine using a different
api... but new faces/verts cannot be made [and it is much harder to
deal with the connections of the verticies iirc]
http://www.blender.org/modules/documentation/pydoc_gameengine/PyDoc-Gameengine-2.34/KX_GameObject.KX_GameObject-class.html#getMesh
http://www.blender.org/modules/documentation/pydoc_gameengine/PyDoc-Gameengine-2.34/KX_MeshProxy.KX_MeshProxy-class.html


I belive armatures can be posed as well, but I have been unable to
find the api for that.
