Bouncy Bubbles
Bouncy Bubbles based on code from Keith Peters.
Multiple-object collision.

Functions Used
draw()
Called directly after setup(), the draw() function continuously executes the lines of code contained inside its block until the program is stopped or noLoop() is called

atan2()
Calculates the angle (in radians) from a specified point to the coordinate origin as measured from the positive x-axis
