Removal and respawn with collision detection using pickRadius.

//*********************Blow up and Respawn function********************************
//If Player blows up, remove it from screen via disable, count down and call respawn function

//Get random X and Y cords to respawn into, check doing a pick radius to see if there is an obstacle or
//enemy where we want to spawn
//If there is something in the way call the function and start again.
//If the space is not occupied then respawn the player
//min, max X and Y are set in a dynamic field on the player, maxX maxY minX minY
//I used the world limit since you can see the whole playfield in one window, you may want
//to tweak your own values.
