How can you tell that, Sam? My tests appear not to overlap but I have no way 
(yet) to really be sure. What I am pretty sure about is that an additional 
collision test is necessary if number and size of the objects become too 
large for a given space, though. Otherwise, the bare locations seem not to 
repeat themselves within a given sequence, but I may be totally wrong of 
course.

Yes, that is slow, but it works :-)
