FlockingToMegaBlob

For this week's Creative Code Challenge by @sableraph: "Flocking”,FlockingToMegaBlob coded with LiveCodeLab & SonicPi uses the following definition of flocking to make an entity of blobs come to life:

to move or come together in large numbers:  (Dictonary-Cambridge)

Poetry

The Blobs are Flocking Towards the Middle
For this spooky season
They are not living clues or riddles
But simply showing the reason
For their formation
And thoughts of Blobs Flocking for infestation
As they flock, they merge
As they merge, they submerge
An attempt at blob season
