Please share code as text, not as images. It is much easier for anyone trying to help to mark text and suggesting solutions. You can surround code with three back-ticks to get syntax highlighting etc here on the forum.

I’ve sent Zenva an email pointing out the mistake. It should hopefully be fixed soon.

Thanks! I did a lot of research on how to detect a click on an object (without using a gui) and realized that it’s not trivial for a beginner. But I will study.
