Algorithm for a geodesic sphere

Question

I have to make a sphere out of smaller uniformely distributed balls. I think the optimal way is to build a triangle-based geodesic sphere and use the vertices as the middle poin

Answer 1

I've done this before for a graphics project, the algorithm I used is detailed on this website

just ignore any openGL drawing calls and only code up the parts that deal with creating the actual vertices
