Tents stuck in a bunch

[HoeenCoder]

When the player has two or more tents, they will merge into a bunch.

This is not desired, I would prefer each tent not be inside any other, and if they do they should automatically correct themselves.

The current code for correcting this is:

        for(var j=0; j<player.tents.length; j++) {
            if(j != i && player.tents[i] !== undefined) {
                var distance = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(player.tents[j].y-player.tents[i].y,2) + Math.pow(player.tents[j].x-player.tents[i].x,2));
                var radiusTotal = (player.tents[i].radius + player.tents[j].radius);
                if(distance < radiusTotal) {
                    //if(player.lastSplit > new Date().getTime() - 1000 * c.mergeTimer) { //Not merging.
                        if(player.tents[i].x < player.tents[j].x) {
                            player.tents[i].x--;
                        } else if(player.tents[i].x > player.tents[j].x) {
                            player.tents[i].x++;
                        }
                        if(player.tents[i].y < player.tents[j].y) {
                            player.tents[i].y--;
                        } else if((player.tents[i].y > player.tents[j].y)) {
                            player.tents[i].y++;
                        }
                    //}
                    /*else if(distance < radiusTotal / 1.75) { //Merge into one.
                        player.tents[i].mass += player.tents[j].mass;
                        player.tents[i].radius = util.massToRadius(player.tents[i].mass);
                        player.tents.splice(j, 1);
                    }*/
                }
            }
        }

From my tests I believe they ARE correcting themselves, but this is being undone somehow.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The bunching has something to do with the speed of the tents.

check here for the full movement code.

Edit:

The faster the tents speed, the more they bunch up. The slower the tents speed, the more spread out they are, but lowering the speed only works with 2 tents and no more. Also it requires very slow speeds.

Tents can stay stuck together if there are 3 or more still. Some help with this would be appreciated, though the bulk of the issue is fixed.
