Object interaction with a background

We are going to want to make something separate happen when the balls touch the left boundary of the stage. This may mean a loss in points; however, for the time being we'll just make it end the game.

Getting ready

We'll first turn our attention to the stage. More specifically, we need to adjust our white background. Our goal is to find a way to differentiate the left boundary of the stage from the rest of the stage.
