I have a student who is beginning to design her game. She wants the “player” sprite to bounce off the edge of the background. We know how to make a sprite bounce off another sprite but can we code a bounce off the edge of the screen\background. She worked around it by coding conditions for the x and y locations and changing the velocity depending on its location but we’re still wondering about coding a bounce off the edge of the background. Here is what she has so far: > **[Check out what I made](https://studio.code.org/projects/gamelab/MLwFxz6kVPV8hJ9MP5wKD-86YfMqKzuPy4orXPMv3fY)** > > I wrote the code myself with Code.org Thanks in advance. ---

@GordonBrune, Have them look at the documentation for the createEdgeSprites block. [https://studio.code.org/docs/gamelab/createEdgeSprites/](https://studio.code.org/docs/gamelab/createEdgeSprites/) I think this is what they are after. Mike ---
