Workshop › Bomberman-style Arena › Step 32 of 42

Fight and touch

What we are doing

Enemies die in flames, and touching one costs a life. "Touching" is measured between the real positions, not the tiles: closer than 0.6 of a tile.

```js
enemies = enemies.filter((e) => !inFlames(e))

else if (inFlames(player) || enemies.some((e) => Math.hypot(e.x - player.x, e.y - player.y) < 0.6)) hurt()
```

What it means

• filter keeps the enemies that are not in flames.
• Math.hypot(dx, dy) is the straight distance between two points (Pythagoras).
• Being in flames or touching an enemy hurts, still only when not safe.

Your turn

1. In update, under the flames filter, write the enemies filter.
2. Extend the else if (inFlames(player)) condition with || enemies.some(...).
