+# Hexsphere Generator
2
+
3
+Eventually, this will be a full-blown planet generator. But, for now, this is a 
4
+hexsphere generator. This shape is also known as a [Goldberg 
5
+polyhedron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldberg_polyhedron) or a [truncated 
6
+icosahedron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated_icosahedron). It is made 
7
+from generating a [icosahedron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icosahedron) which 
8
+is split N times for a detail level of N. The [dual 
9
+polyhedron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_polyhedron) of that shape is 
10
+calculated which results in the hexsphere. In its smallest form (detail level of 
11
+0), it has 12 pentagon faces. As the detail level increases, it gains more 
12
+hexagon faces and becomes more spherical in shape.
