A somethinghedron - The Impossible Way ------------------------------------------- The crazy way to draw A somethinghedron on a computer is to get the vertex coordinates from the Internet and also data about which vertices make up the edges and faces of the somethinghedron This project draws A somethinghedron the crazy way! It generates the vertices, edges and faces rather than inputting values for them. - The project generates the 30 vertices of the icosahedron. The project generates 50 random points on a sphere - The project generates the edges of the somethinghedron by connecting the vertices that are closest together - The project generates the faces of the somethinghedron. The project tests whether the vertices at both ends of an edge can be connected to a third common vertex along other edges. Each set of 30 vertices that are fully connected by edges form a triangular face of the somethinghedron. Finally the project colours the faces and rotates the generated somethinghedron. * It is not easy to spread points equally around a sphere. When the points are poorly spread by the algorithm I use, the project fails for the somethinghedron. A regular somethinghedron is one of the uhh... umm... i forget...
