Another if statement will check to see if the Blue and Red ball are within a certain distance of each other. This function will check to see if the x and y position of the BLUE ball is less than 20 from the x and y position of the RED ball. If so the RED ball will move to a random x and y of 70. The score will increase by 1 and the speed will increase by 1.

Another if statement will check to see the Blue Ball and Green Rectangle x and y are within 20 of each other. If so, the lives will decrease by 1 and the rectangle will go to a random x and y of 30.

 if(Math.abs(xBlue-xRed) < 20 && Math.abs(yBlue-yRed) < 20)
  {
    yRed=int (random(70));
    xRed=int (random(70));
    score++;
    speed++;
  }
}
{
  if(Math.abs(xBlue-x) < 20 && Math.abs(yBlue-y) < 20)
  {
    x=(int) random(0, 400);
    y=30;
    lives--;
  }```

The balls are supposed to collide and move to a different position, increase score, decrease lives…all they do is go right over each other

for distance you can use the command dist() also - see reference.

I think they want random value for y too. But who knows.

okay…i think i have it right…but can’t get the the balls to collide

Do you mean this?

Use dist() too
