+*Sphere*  
 I don't want the whole project have any unnecessary dependent, like glu library.
-Let's start with [drawing a sphere without gluSphere]( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7687148/drawing-sphere-in-opengl-without-using-glusphere), because I want implement the same balls which presented in the [B-Mesh paper](http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.357.7134&rep=rep1&type=pdf).
