bassically im trying to add collision detection to the sprite below, using the following:

self.rect = bounds_rect


                collide = pygame.sprite.spritecollide(self, wall_list, False)

                if collide:
            # yes

                     print("collide")

However it seems that when the collide is triggered it continuously prints 'collide' over and over when instead i want them to simply not be able to walk through the object, any help?
