    When you have a problem with the way your game is coded, you need to provide your rules. You can type them out or post a screenshot (see the instructions in my signature).

    The basic idea is a rule that says When actor collides with actor [wall] --> Destroy actor but without seeing your rules I'm not sure why it's not working for you.

    Also, how are you making the square grow? Which behavior are you using?

    I have it coded like this on the player actor it says
    When actor receives event -> collide/overlap with actor-> actor type-> walls then destroy this actor

    I am using the basic change size with a .01 growth rate

    That's causing the problem, the change size attribute seems to stop collisions being detected.

    Try using a timer instead.

    Every 0.1 seconds:
    Change Attribute > self.size.Width to self.size.Width+1
    Change Attribute > self.size.Height to self.size.Height+1
