1. Collision detection in Alice is tricky. I have had students try several different approaches, but nothing has really worked as well as I would like. There are some tutorials you can read (I found it with a Google search):

<div>2. I don't think there's any way to modify those existing controls, so you have to write your own controls for the player object. One non-obvious feature that will be useful is that you can right-click on events (such as "when a key is typed") and change
it to something else ("while a key is pressed").</div>
