I have the same conceptual problem in my solution to these.

I keep trying to model a proper mesh2 object for a complete surface and 
I should probably just be happy enough to create four triangles to mimic 
the conical or cylindrical shape of each segment and call it a day.

I also was doing my generation scripts in Python, but I'm trying to 
figure out how to do them purely in SDL.
