Here's my response to the challenge. Unfortunately it has a single flaw, which is the lack of collision detection for the nodes, since I have no idea how to do it and the lack of documentation on this topic didn't help (if someone could direct me to that, I'd appreciate it).
However it was quite a lot of work (350 lines of code!), so I'd like to post it anyways, even if just for that reason.
The placement of the days should be random for each compile.
