Hey, I found out that this: ``` var columns = list...

# stdlib

Hey, I found out that this:

var columns = listOf<MutableList<EventRect>>()
for (eventRect in collisionGroup) {
    val properColumn = columns.firstOrNull { column -> !isEventsCollide(eventRect.event, column[column.size - 1].event) }
    if(properColumn != null) {
        properColumn.add(eventRect)
    } else {
        columns = columns.plusElement(mutableListOf(eventRect))
    }
}

is pretty common pattern. Like groupBy, but being in the group depend on other elements in this group. Like elements that are close enough to themself

marcinmoskala: I struggle to comprehend what this code does

[voddan]

Could you please reimplement a simplified version with standard classes? So that it could be run in try.kotlinlang.org

[voddan]

Well I don't have the definition of the EventRect class, that's a problem. Can't you function be demonstrated with Int or String or something similarly simple?

collisionGroup is group of events that are at the same time. This is finding columns for them the way that two events in the same column are not overlapping

Groups of events that are in the same time needs to make small columns

OK, nice
