"Floating Blobs" experiment - Unlimiter - Sep-28-2018

I made a simple game (experiment) where there are different (round) blobs with random sizes from 4 to 16 pixels in width and height. Each blob moves with a speed of r/2 (where r is the radius of the blob) in a random direction (right, left, down, up). When two blobs collide, the smaller one get killed and the bigger one gains size depending on the killed blob's radius, which means that the radius of the smaller blob gets added to the radius of the bigger one; if two blobs collide and they have the same size, nothing happens. The game ends when one blobs is left.
You can change the amount of initial blobs when the game starts, by changing '25' in 'add_blobs(25)' in the '# Other initializations' section.

(I made this game because I was inspired from the game that "sentdex" used to teach OOP in his "Intermediate" python tutorials, if you know his Youtube channel.)
