There's a set of articles on doug about collision detecting, you might try there as a first step. Personally, I'd use the intersect() function instead of sprite.intersects(). This compares 2 rects and returns the rect of the shared space. So, stepping through and using intersect((sprite x).rect, (

I'll have to think if there's an easier way (sort of tied up at the moment) but I will say that you have an interesting issue about destroying the executable when done. Most likely, you'll try to do this from within the executable, which should be tricky, since it'll be running at the moment.

Two things: 1) The "intersects" means that the whole sprite rectangle will be checked, so if you want to limit it just to the center you might want to see if, say, the loch/v of the sprite, or maybe the mouseloc interesects some particular sprite 2) Step through it with a debugger. Because y
