Description

# Polygon Triangulation

This algorithm is used to separate large simple polygons into triangles that the computer can process easily. This are used in many fields but I personally am using it to create a rasterizer from scratch. Since you can only render triangles, I have to basically triangulate a 3D model with many *n*-gons in a reasonable amount of time.

### Here's a really helpful resources i found:
