Just wanted to update you all, I have added normals to all basic shapes in all graphics systems, and yes ellipsoids, they are now all efficiently batched and rendered.
The following pull request contains my changes, simply wait for it to be merged before updating.

I am still working on the icosahedron function. An icosahedron is used in computer graphics to perfectly texture map a sphere and for representation of planetary scale maps.

I think it was Leonardo da Vinci who once said something along the lines of "If you build the robots, they will make games." or something to that effect.

Because that is GML and there is a more efficient way to write it in C++. But thanks

Math is the same though, so implementing it and optimizing it with C++ should be quite trivial.
