README snapshot
This program can quickly solve the 2D bin packing problem for any number of any polygons inside any other polygon! It was the tool used to find all the optimal packings under the name "Ignacio Vallejo" on Erich's Packing Center. img width="640" height="480" alt="30 triangles in a hexagon" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/48591a93-3ed9-4031-9c42-8b6eb579d91e" / Download the python file, navigate to its location and run it like this: python3 polygon_packer.py [n] [nsi] [nsc] - Replace [n] with the number of inner polygons you want to solve for - Replace [nsi] with the number of s
