[android-developers] Re: Anyone with GL experience willing to take a contract/bounty?

OpenGL ES, the standard not just for Android but for all mobile phones
to date, only supports drawing triangles, not polygons. To get a
polygon, you have to triangulate it first, then pass an array of
vertices based on that triangulation.

Triangulation turns out to be a subtle combinatorial problem.
