I’m trying to create a game, but the egg isn’t cracking. Can anyone tell me why?

It might be possible that when your hand changes shape, it’s not technically overlapping the egg anymore? When I add console messages here, I see that it never goes into your conditionals with all the overlaps.

Take a look at what I did here, and try to send yourself messages from different places to see what’s going on. Also, you can try having your sprite “say” things so you know which conditionals are true at any given time…

Thanks for the tip! I’ll look into the overlapping.
