Hi!
This is my first project and I'm not really a computer freak

I've orientated myself at another project.
Could someone help me and build a distance to the trees and say me how I make the snowmobile don't hit the people......
AND its very important that I understand the steps.
So its useful if you keep it in a way superficial.
Sorry for my english but I'm from germany

What you're asking about is called collision detection. It's very difficult to incorporate into a game, but the simplest way to do is

Loop [infinity] times
if [snowmobile] is within [snowmobile's length] of tree (or person, or whatever other object you want)
snowmobile move backwards (some distance) duration 0 seconds

If you need me to translate this into German, I can.

Thanks for your answer, but I don't know what you mean

could you explain me the steps? whats "loop"?

There's a tile at the bottom of the screen that says loop. It should be light blue. Drag it onto the screen and it will make a box and a menu will pop up asking you how many times you want the loop to run. Select infinity (at the bottom, I think), then put your collision code inside the loop.
