Work In Progress 7

One of the problems I found was that some of the fairies sometimes ended up getting pushed  to the side to get away from the net. So they'd go up and down in a vertical line near the edge (i.e. the xstep was reduced to 0) I've added a check to the outOfBounds method to make sure the xstep/ ystep is never 0.

I made the fairies run to the mouse.
Through this project I've just been thinking about the code and what it does, but just recently I've thought of the fairies as living things. They start glowing faster when your mouse is in one of the four corners because it's as if you've gone away and they can come out of hiding.
I imagined that they would glow brighter when they're happier so if they're running away from the mouse they glow brighter the further away they are because they feel safer further away.

I wanted to add another interaction so I thought about what I would do if there were a bunch of fairies in a forest. I might try to catch them. So when the right mouse button is clicked it's as if you're holding out a treat and the fairies come towards the mouse, they're also brighter the closer they are to the mouse.
