This part is a tiny tricky. A
circle is going to appear around your octopus. We need this circle to
go around the entire octopus. If you spin your mouse wheel forwards
the circle will get smaller. If you spin the mouse wheel backwards the
mouse wheel will get bigger. Here are 3 pictures showing the circle
getting bigger.
