[Algorithms] Got Balls?

	Perhaps you could draw the table and pub (or whatever it is you're spending
the rest of your 3 gajillion polygon budget on) first, then draw each ball
as a triangle fan with GL_POLYGON_SMOOTH to AA the edges of the ball?
However, I really don't understand how you can do a pool game without using
real mesh spheres for each ball, since the numbers and stripes need to spin
around as the ball rolls.  Sixteen balls times 5,000 polys per ball, sounds
about like Quake 3 Arena minus the death animations.
