Polygon Triangulator 2!!!

Image
After my first failed attempt, I managed to port the polygon triangulator code into Unity! It struck me how much more difficult it was to write in C# than it had been in Python.  I've always been a bit wary of Python as it isn't widely regarded as a 'professional' language (at least amongst the people I've spoken to about it).  It really showed great strength in exploring the triangulation algorithm though.  If I do similar algorithm work in the future, I think I will turn to Python first. However, now it is ported to Unity, I have a direction choice to make: To plough on to generating terrain from large polygons, to make the code produce a DeLaunay graph, instead of just any old triangulation, or to smooth out the process of specifying the polygon in the first place. Choices, choices...
