Detailed Description

Given a set of levels (rows), try to add items at to topmost row which does not overlap an already placed item in this row (according to its x-coordinate)

If a collision occurs, try the row below. If no row is collision-free, pick the one with the smallest overlap.

X coordinates should always be positive.
