📬 🧥 🤱🏿 13 games to play, hack and kill this weekend 🧔🏻 🈴 🏆

At the end of November, we are launching a new stream of the course Game Developer in Unity and C # , and especially for it, we are sharing a selection of games on the theme of Halloween. All of them were created in competitions like Ludum Dare , JS13K and Game Off . Games are written in different languages and engines, and some of them were created in just 48 hours. And all these games have one thing in common: the source code of these games is open source, so let's hack and shred it! The post does not claim to be "high tech", it's just a selection of fun projects that might inspire you to create your own games.

WARNING: This post features zombies, werewolves, creatures from other dimensions, mummies and more! Proceed at your own risk.

JUMP_VEL = -250.0

and so :

func can_be_hit( area = null ) -> bool:
    if fsm.state_cur == fsm.states.hit: return false
    if fsm.state_cur == fsm.states.dead: return false
    if is_invulnerable: return false
    #print( cur_target, " ", area, " ", cur_target.get_ref().name, " ", area.get_parent(), " ", area.owner.name )
    if cur_target != null and \
        area != null and \
        cur_target.get_ref() != null and \
        cur_target.get_ref() == area.owner:
            return false
    return false

This is exactly what @DennisBengs did with Retrohaunt .
