Building a screen saver

We will start by building a screen saver. The program will consist of several random-colored and random-sized balls bouncing all over the screen at random velocity, as shown in the following screenshot:

Let's create a class to generate balls with random attributes. Accordingly, we define a new class named RandomBall. 7.01_screensaver.py:
