Sorry to let u feel confuse.
. Actually,I'm looking for some methods to revamp my simulation. Basically, I have created a simple simulation and attached at below.

All the entities (sphere) are referred to human. They were walking from bottom to the upper.
I would like to create the environment in a shopping mall. They travel from one place to another. They may exit or enter different shops. display how are the people avoid each other.
But now I'm facing the problem to position the entities at the beginning part. If I position the entities in the random way, the entities may be position quite near to each other and "overlapped" situation happed. If I position in the sequence, it will look like what i did now; all the entities are line up there. This look weird..
Hope there are any advice for me to revamp my code, so that the simulation can become more natural..
Thank you for all of your kind helps..
