Add blob monsters #77

Blobs are currently super strong. For now, there's only one feasible way to kill them.

Blob movement involves changing size/shape by stretching out to cover 2 spaces, then contracting into one of them. Blobs are allowed to occupy the same space as other individuals (currently only via the stretching movement, but walking into a blob should be allowed too eventually). If a blob occupies the same space as another non-blob individual, they get "grappled" by the blob and can't move. Blobs can kill by fully digesting their victim, which takes a few steps. After 1 meal, blobs get deadlier. (After 2+ meals, TODO.)

The map is replaced by a simple sandbox to test blob mechanics.
