@MarkyMarkus yes, you’re up to date!
the issue here is your code, specifically this bit:
you’re clearing all the tiles in your tilemap and creating sprites in their place, as a result none of your tile overlaps code is running anymore. if you just remove that for-loop then it seems to work fine for me

Ok, so as it turns out, the only reason why switching back to blocks broke for me was because I changed the hex value in java by accident… you still can’t edit it in js though

Opps, I thought I was using “on sprite of kind (**) overlaps with sprite of kind (**)” sorry…

I mean I bet you could make it in blocks and then convert it but I’m scared of CLASS arrays switching to NUMBER arrays

Put out a small update with some fixes throughout, and one more new feature: there’s now a simulator theme editor you can access through the themes menu (as well as an additional built in theme)

It should download in the background and come in when you refresh; if you have a lot of tabs open that may cause it to be flakey / wait to browser clears or something. It’s in version v4.1.23
