Set a marker to true when the player is hit

For example:

Before setup() `boolean gameOver=false;`

upon collision: `gameOver=true;`

In draw():

```auto
if(gameOver) {text("game over ",77,77);
}else {
// what you have in draw () now
}

```

Set a marker to true when the player is hit

Evaluate the marker so draw has two different  
states what it does

Lyca,

How do you test that the falling object has hit the player? Could you show the code?  
Then we could let you know, where to enter @Chrisir 's line of code.

Thanks,  
Frank
