Set a player in the center of the screen. Make a bunch of blobs appear at random positions. If there are any blobs too close to the player, have them destroyed when button A is pressed.
namespace SpriteKind {
export const Blob = SpriteKind.create()
}
controller.A.onEvent(ControllerButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {
for (let icky of sprites.allOfKind(SpriteKind.Blob)) {
x2 = (icky.x - mySprite.x) ** 2
y2 = (icky.y - mySprite.y) ** 2
if (Math.sqrt(x2 + y2) < mySprite.width * 2) {
sprites.destroy(icky, effects.disintegrate, 500)
}
}
})
let y2 = 0
let x2 = 0
let blob: Sprite = null
let mySprite: Sprite = null
mySprite = sprites.create(img`
