Hey all,  
so i created this advanced version of the mitosis simulation challange (‘[https://thecodingtrain.com/CodingChallenges/006-mitosis-p5.html](https://thecodingtrain.com/CodingChallenges/006-mitosis-p5.html)’) and among others included a function to remerge the cells. It kinda works but in most cases one remerch causes a chain reaction which merges all the cells in the canvas. I tried for hours solving this. can anybody help??

plus i created it in my brother wis an html file. now that i pasted it in the editor i realised it has a lot of issues showing the objects without flickering.

please format your code posting by pasting it into the

```auto
</> code button

```

of the editor header menu ( context name: Preformatted text )  
it looks like  
```  
type or paste code here  
```

also can use the ``` manually above and below your code.

thank you.

here in case of a p5.js project,  
better not post code, just the link to the  
[https://editor.p5js.org](https://editor.p5js.org)  
project in the online editor

also please edit your title so it not uses profane language  
or your whole post might get flagged.
