Yes with white circles and display and delay immediately on collision,  I have confirmed a guess about the corn boundaries for their x,y's, the x,y's are corn centers for Rotozoom x, y's are centers not corners, that is why I subtract half the height or width (75) for collision checking between two box images for the x, y top left corner, plus did not use full 75 for width, height. For witch I should have used full 75x75 for that image,

Theoretically you might want collision detection for the Corn circle not the corn box that would sit square with x,y axis, a picture is worth a 1000 words:

Might be better to do collision check between box and a circle,

Does anyone have that?

That circle is  a smart way to see what's going on there.   I shrank the witch boundaries a little, and this seems to be look better with most collisions - no hits so far away as to look odd. 

Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. hit = collision%(wx1 + 15, wy1 + 15, 60, 60, jackysx(j) - 37, jackysy(j) - 37, 60, 60)
  2.

Looks about right.

@Dav have you considered how to have some sort of a reasonable path through corn at all times or maybe the witch deserves to die to random placements of obstacles. Flappy bird always had a hole between pipes and pipes were spaced so you could drop or rise in time to get through placements.

Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. For j = 1 To jackys
  2.     jackysx(j) = _Width + (Rnd * _Width) * 2
  3.     jackysy(j) = 40 + (Rnd * (_Height - 100))
  4.     jackysr(j) = Rnd * 360
  5.  

Are you putting Candy on like a scroll for like a player piano, punching holes where candy is, so you just recycle to the scroll as you come to the end? I am not seeing new candy being created anywhere else in code, maybe I missed it. If true I am surprised, I didn't pick up on the pattern recycle. And If True you could draw a path in scroll the forbids random placement of a candy on the path. That way you don't make an impossible game. The path would have to end same place it starts and never turn more than witch could rise or fall.

It's hidden in the moving candies part.  When a candy goes off screen on the left then re-spawn it on the right somewhere. It would probably be a better idea to have a layout of somekind, so there would always be a way through when playing good.

Code: QB64: [Select]
  1.     'move candies, compute
  2.     FOR j = 1 TO jackys
  3.  
  4.         jackysx(j) = jackysx(j) - 2
  5.         IF jackysx(j) < -75 THEN    '<<<<<<<< here it says bye
  6.  
  7.             candycount = candycount + 1
  8.  
  9.             'If won...
  10.             IF candycount > 75 THEN
  11.                 _SNDPLAYFILE "sfx_clap.ogg"
  12.                 _DELAY 3
  13.                 END
  14.             END IF
  15.  
  16.             jackysx(j) = _WIDTH + (RND * _WIDTH) * 2   '<<<<<< and here make new values
  17.             jackysy(j) = 40 + (RND * (_HEIGHT - 100))

@Dav are you still dabbling with this? I have an idea for a Halloween Variation. You might look at what I was criticizing and arrive at same simple, easy fix solution. Hint, hint... ;-))

I've haven't been the past few days, my music work has kind of piling up on me, but if you have an idea I sure would like to see it.
