Hey so why when I do location.y-brick1.y ,location 1 is positive brick1 is -500 it gives out a negative number? Like location.y–500 is location.y +500 so that’s positive. Do math rules not apply in processing?

Well, it’s not important not to display the brick When its value is -500 it’s invisible anyway More important is to skip the collision check from your initial question Here you can surround your code block with if( brick1.y!=-500) { …. }

Math doesn't work?

There is definitely no error in processing

Maybe your value is off

You could just check if brick.y== -500
then don’t check and draw it (a work around)
