Thanks for doing all of this.

If you use Pippy's pygame support (see the bundled pygame examples in
Pippy) you should get a 20fps framerate limiter as well as pause-on-idle
support for free.  Pippy can create activity bundles -- if you'd be
interested in trying to create 3DPong inside Pippy, I'd like to hear
about whether it works well for you, and whether there are any changes
we should make to the pygame wrapper.

Thanks!

- Chris.
