Thanks for pointing out this thread. Gameengine python has a true C++
encapsulating implementation directly in the classes (inspired from work
of [shit I can't find the information anymore, there is probably a

Yep. That's the way I'll try. Start with NMesh, then Image.

I meant, should the new Meshes survive when the gameengine is ended?

OK. I'll be there.
