I am trying to create a group of objects under the arcade physics system that will collide and “bounce” off of world bounds. I understand that for a single object, doing `myObject.setCollideWorldBounds(true)` does the trick, but I am unsure how to create a collider with world bounds that could be applied to a group.  
Thank you for any help.

No, thank you. I am looking for a way to set up a collider using physics.add.collider (or some other method with the same effect) that will apply to the whole group, instead of having to configure each group member individually.

To set `collideWorldBounds` on each body in a group (when created or added to the group), it’s

```
this.physics.add.group({ collideWorldBounds: true });

```

If you want each sprite to bounce when any one hits the world bounds, probably use [world bounds event](https://labs.phaser.io/edit.html?src=src%5C3.60%5Cphysics%5Carcade%5Cgroup%20world%20bounds%20event.js).
