So I started ‘playing’ Desmos about a few days ago  
And I am trying to recreate Geometry Dash (I’m a Scratcher)  
And Kim trying to complete the collision thing  
And I found out this code is not ok

 ![IMG_6361](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/desmos/original/2X/6/6574812c08ef368730c66e8a94f4f65bcce40290.jpeg)  
Maybe you can’t compare lists with values?  
(You don’ need to care about the other stuff.  
I made sure they are right)

Since I’m a Scarcther, I just think a bit different.  
yeah help me please

Edit: the graph:

You can compare lists with values, but this in turn will create a new list (of trues and falses, essentially). You cannot trigger an action from a condition directly, but you _can_ set up a ticker that will monitor the condition and trigger an action. As Guzman says, if you share the graph, we can help further.

I shared the graph now, open the Test folder and you can see the collision code 🙂
