             We have a Santa code that starts at an X coordinate of 185. Each time you press an arrow key, you move 31 steps in that direction. We tried this code:
            
            
             if (santaX==x{
            
            
             background(250);
            
            
             }
            
            
             However, the background flickered at random moments, and was not what we expected it to do. We are looking for a simple way to sense the touching of these two objects. We are not dealing with shapes, we are dealing with imported images. Here is the reindeer code:
            
            
             image(reindeer, (x), 273, reindeer.width/2, reindeer.height/2);
            
            
               x = x + 2;
            
            
               if ((x > 200) && (startR2 == 0)){
            
            
                 startR2 = 1;
            
            
               }
            
            
               if (x > 450){
            
            
                 x = 0;
            
            
               }
            
            
             We need a simple way to detect collisions. Thank you.
