Hi! Welcome to the forums.

I know you’re probably coming here because you feel like you’ve hit a wall and your code doesn’t work, but this is not a place to come have someone else solve your homework.

Instead, we ask that you take more time to locate the problem, and come up with a more specific question.

Instead of “I want this ellipse to collapse”, maybe, “How do I detect if two ellipses are colliding?”
