Squashed enemies are gone

What we are doing

A squashed enemy should stop moving and disappear: only live enemies are updated and drawn.

```js
for (const enemy of enemies) if (enemy.alive) updateEnemy(enemy)

  if (enemy.alive) ctx.fillRect(enemy.x, enemy.y, enemy.w, enemy.h)
```

What it means

• In update and in draw, if (enemy.alive) skips dead enemies.

Your turn

Add if (enemy.alive) in front of updateEnemy(enemy) in update and in front of the enemy's fillRect in draw.
