Codea - Making Areas where your character can't go

Questions
1

I am making a simple game and I need a little help. I have made this code over here and I would like it if I my player (circle) wasn’t able to move through these the sprites that look like walls. I have been pretty clueless so far and I would like if someone showed me what I needed to do. If someone could look over my code and add something so that my sprite couldn’t move through sprites, that would be very much appreciated. :slight_smile:

P.S: I will post the code shortly. Even before I do, could you please still give an example on how I could make this happen? Thx.

@SabrinaGiroux Are you after something like this. Hold the iPad flat and tilt it to move the Guy in any direction.

displayMode(FULLSCREEN)
supportedOrientations(PORTRAIT_ANY)

function setup()
    tab={}
    for z=1,20 do
        c=physics.body(CIRCLE,30)
        c.x=math.random(WIDTH)
        c.y=math.random(HEIGHT)
        c.type=STATIC
        table.insert(tab,c)
    end
    c=physics.body(CIRCLE,30)
    c.x=300
    c.y=300
    c.gravityScale=0
end

function draw()
    background(40, 40, 50)
    fill(198, 226, 226, 255)
    for a,b in pairs(tab) do
        sprite("Small World:Court",b.x,b.y,60,60)
    end
    sprite("Platformer Art:Guy Standing",c.x,c.y,60,60)
    c.linearVelocity=vec2(Gravity.x*1000,Gravity.y*1000)
end
