Moving rectangles so they are not touching each other

Hey GH community... I am almost clueless as to how to approach this problem...

I have two different set of curves (squares for the moment) based within two different regions and populated randomly. I'm trying to figure out how to get them to be populated so that they are not crossing each other. That is that they are not crossing each other within their own region and not crossing each other between regions. Basically I don't want any of them crossing each other..... I have worked with Hoopsnake a few times and have a feeling that this could be used to solve this but I'm not quite sure where to even start. I also have a feeling that Galapagos could be used to solve this problem, but I have never used it and wouldn't have the slightest clue how to get that going...

Any help would much appreciated!!!

Amir, I did... I ended up figuring out how to get it to do what I wanted with Hoopsnake and it still wasn't quite what I was looking for, so I then figured out how to use Galapagos and that ended up working a lot better :)
