Geodesic Grid
Brian “JeBuS” I-Don’t-Know-His-Last-NameSchaeflein published a multi part article about Geodesic Truncated Icosahedron (part 2 is here, part 3 is pending) in C# and the XNA Framework. Geodisc Truncated Icosahedrons are “a shape made of hexagons and pentagons” that “has as many faces as needed to make it as spherical as needed, like a Geodesic Dome”.
Head over and grok the code for fun and profit.
Also note his disclaimer in the first post:
I don’t claim that my way of programming is the best way. As far as design patterns and whatnot go, my way works for me, and the code gets the job done. If anyone can offer a more “elegant” approach to anything I’m doing, I’m all ears.

Makes me wonder what kind of sleuthing you had to do to find my last name, as this just made me realize I hadn’t publicized it in the blog.

And here I was thinking you went all detective on me. You should have made up a story about stalking me and going through my trash to find old mail. Would’ve much creepier.

That will come later, when you do not expect it anymore and feel warm and safe here.
