Description

Add the Apollonian Gasket. It would be cool to let the user define original shapes, that are then automatically packed with the Apollonian Circle packing.

Inspiration

Wikipedia - Apollonian Gasket
Shader Implementation
American Scientist Article

There is also this video of P5.js God Daniel Shiffman:
Coding Challenge #50.1: Animated Circle Packing - Part 1

Type

Don't know. Could be either a WebGL shader or a normal Canvas...

Difficulties

The algorithm might be slow/hard to build for many different shapes dynamically. The first version could be limited to only say - a circle, rectangle and triangle packing instead of a dynamic solution.
