[...] Of course, this would work better if we had a two circles, and not a circle and a square, but the (somewhat buggy) example still serves to illustrate the concept. Other techniques can be explored for hit tests. For example, following this (non HTML5) tutorial. I found this while looking at this HTML5 asteroid game. [...]

I’ve been poking around the code trying to figure out how to change the strokeStyle color for different elements in the game.

Specifically how would you change the color of the text in the game?
