What kind of algorithms would generate random "goo balls" like those in World of Goo. (btw, if you haven't played it yet, highly recommended). I'm using Proccesing, but any generic algorithm would do.

I guess it boils down to how to "randomly" make balls that are kind of round, but not perfectly round, and still looking realistic.

Thanks in advance!
