+    then creates the polygon by sampling points on a circle around the centre.
+    Randon noise is added by varying the angular spacing between sequential points,
+    and by varying the radial distance of each point from the centre.
+
+    Params:
+    ctrX, ctrY - coordinates of the "centre" of the polygon
+    aveRadius - in px, the average radius of this polygon, this roughly controls how large the polygon is, really only useful for order of magnitude.
+    irregularity - [0,1] indicating how much variance there is in the angular spacing of vertices. [0,1] will map to [0, 2pi/numberOfVerts]
+    spikeyness - [0,1] indicating how much variance there is in each vertex from the circle of radius aveRadius. [0,1] will map to [0, aveRadius]
+    numVerts - self-explanatory
+
+    Returns a list of vertices, in CCW order.
