Spherical Geometry Coding Challenge

Simon completed the Spherical Geometry Coding Challenge by Daniel Shiffman! In this challenge, he created a sphere in Processing (Java) using spherical coordinates and triangle strips. Simon had already tried doing this … Continue reading Spherical Geometry Coding Challenge
