I tried to figure out why the color can’t change, but I couldn’t. It may be something to do with the text sprite. I made a [screen saver](https://forum.makecode.com/t/screen-saver/17620) though, and you can look at/use the code from that if you want. ---

@daPokekid360, I meant that I tried to make the text change color on a wall collision, but it wasn’t working for some reason. Also, my screen saver used code that made it change color on a wall impact (In case you wanted to look at/use it). ---

> [@daPokekid360](#): > > Thanks but i meant that when it hits the wall it would change colors Maybe it would be better to check for some _onHittingWall_ property, but I could not find it. But this works as I understand that you want, at least: > **[DVD screen-saver-change-color-on-hitting-wall](https://arcade.makecode.com/87973-98235-37653-11801)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. ---

Also, maybe you could achieve the necessary overlap/collision event that I could not find out of the box with this extension by @richard, perhaps either _begin overlap with_ or _is within_ region?: > [@Arcade-sprite-events extension](https://forum.makecode.com/t/arcade-sprite-events-extension/13453): > > Hey folks! If you’ve been watching stream for the past couple weeks, you might have seen me working on a new arcade extension. Well, I’m pleased to announce it’s now available! Check it out here: This extension adds new events that you can use with sprites in Arcade. Below is some quick documentation on how the events work. Tilemap events This event block gives you a lot of events that are useful when using tilemaps. Here’s an explanation of all of … @makecode or anyone: Are there any other ways to detect collision with or being within the screen boundries of 120x80 for _text sprites_, other than my proposed check of changing vx OR vy when hitting the screen boundries and bouncing in new directions, without using extensions and tilemaps? ---

I mean, you can always do things the hard way: > **[screen-overlap-checks](https://arcade.makecode.com/S24877-78444-92982-58304)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. The easier way would be to just use the “on hit wall” event to change the color. BTW, there is a check for if you are hitting a wall in the bottom of the scene category
