public class MeshSphere extends MeshBase
Do so by starting off with a 16-faced solid which is basically a regular dodecahedron with each of its 8 faces vertically split into 2 triangles, and which each step divide each of its triangular faces into smaller and smaller subtriangles and inflate their vertices to lay on the surface or the sphere.

When level=1, it outputs the 12 vertices of a regular icosahedron. When level=N, it divides each of the 20 icosaherdon's triangular faces into N^2 smaller triangles (by dividing each side into N equal segments) and 'inflates' the internal vertices so that they touch the sphere.
