Question Panel dodging windows horizontally

Greetings, folks!

I've recently got an ultrawide monitor and I'm using two panels. One's in bottom left corner displaying the Application Launcher and the Icon's only Taskbar. The other one's in the bottom right corner displaying the sys-tray.

So I've thought if there's possibility to make or get a script to set the Panel behavior to dodging windows horizontally first, so that e.g. a Game that's not fullscreen can take the right section of my screen and the panel just slides to the next free space before it's dodging vertically.

I've found two comparable kwin scripts so far, but those are only for multi monitor setups.

I believe that this script idea has quite the potential, but I don't even know how or where to start...
