Treehouse TeacherHi there! The answer is that they are called! Although, it might not be immediately obvious. Inside the update function around lines 122 and 123, you'll find these two lines:
game.physics.arcade.overlap(player, items, itemHandler);
game.physics.arcade.overlap(player, badges, badgeHandler);
This tells the program that when the player overlaps an item, call the itemHandler and when the player overlaps a badge, call the badgeHandler. You can find some more documentation on the overlap function in Phaser.js here
Hope this helps!
