It must be self-contained, no external assets.
Game: top-down alien shooter.
- Move with WASD.
- Aim and fire at waves of advancing aliens.
- Probably mouse aim, left click to fire.
- Health, score, increasing difficulty.
- ONLY procedurally generated graphics: so use Phaser.Graphics to draw everything.
I need to write the code for index.html.
Confidence: this is a coding task, I need to produce the code. Confidence high if I can recall or reason Phaser 3 code.
Phaser.min.js is likely Phaser 3.
Structure of index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Alien Shooter</title>
<style> body { margin:0; } </style>
</head>
<body>
<script src="phaser.min.js"></script>
<script // game code here
var config = {
type: Phaser.AUTO,
width: 800,
height: 600,
parent: 'game',
physics: {
default: 'arcade',
arcade: { debug: false }
},
scene: {
preload: preload,
create: create,
update: update
}
};
var game = new Phaser.Game(config);
Then define preload, create, update functions.
In preload: nothing much, or generate textures.
Textures generated in create.
For graphics: in create, create player texture, alien texture, bullet texture.
Then create sprites.
Groups: aliens = this.physics.add.group(), etc.
Input : this.input.keyboard.createCursorKeys() but for WASD: custom.
WASD: this.input.keyboard.addKeys({W:'W',A:'A',S:'S',D:'D'});
Mouse: this.input.on('pointerdown', fire);
Player: sprite, set rotation to angle towards pointer.
In update: move player based on keys, limit position.
Bullets: on fire, create bullet sprite at player pos, velocity towards pointer direction.
Aliens: spawn wave, each moves down, perhaps random x.
Collision: bullets with aliens: destroy both, score+.
Player with aliens: damage, destroy alien.
Health: number, bar with graphics.
Score: text.
Wave: count, increase wave when cleared.
Difficulty: wave speed increase.
For procedural: yes, draw with Graphics.
For health bar: use Graphics in update to draw bar.
Or text for health.
But bar better.
Let's outline code.
I need to write the full code.
Since response is the index.html content.
Confidence {95} as I know Phaser.
The answer is the index.html code.
Report confidence inside \confidence{}.
Final answer is the HTML code.
Let's compose it.
I need to write it carefully.
Let me think key parts .
In create:
// generate textures
function generateTextures(scene) {
// player
const pG = scene.add.graphics();
pG.fillStyle(0x00ff00);
pG.fillTriangle(0,-20, -15,20,15,20);
pG.fillStyle( 0x008800);
pG.fillRect(-10,-10,20,10);
pG.generateTexture('player',40,40);
pG.destroy();
// alien
const aG = scene.add.graphics();
aG.fillStyle(0xff0000);
aG.fill Circle(20,20,15);
aG.fillStyle(0x000000);
aG.fillCircle(14,14,4);
aG.fillCircle(26,14,4);
aG.fillStyle(0xffff00);
aG.fillRect(18,5,4 ,8);
aG.generateTexture('alien',40,40);
aG.destroy();
// bullet
const bG = scene.add.graphics();
bG.fillStyle(0xffff00);
bG.fillRect(0,0,4,16);
bG.generateTexture('bullet 8,16);
bG.destroy();
// enemy bullet red
const ebG = scene.add.graphics();
ebG.fillStyle(0xff0000);
ebG.fillRect(0,0,4,16);
ebG.generateTexture('ebullet',8,16);
eb G.destroy();
}
Then call generateTextures(this);
Then this.player = this.physics.add.sprite(400,550,'player');
this.player.setBounce(0);
this.player.setCollideWorldBounds(true);
this.player.setMaxVelocity(300);
this. aliens = this.physics.add.group();
this.bullets = this .physics.add.group();
this.enemyBullets = this.physics.add.group();
this.physics.add.overlap(this.bullets,this.aliens, hitAlien, null, this);
this.physics.add.overlap(this.player,this.aliens, hitPlayer, null, this);
this.physics.add.overlap(this.player,this.enemyBullets , hitPlayerEnemy, null, this);
this.score = 0;
this.health = 100;
this.wave = 1;
this.scoreText = this.add.text(10,10,'Score:0', {font:'20px Arial',fill:'#fff'});
this.healthText = this.add.text( 10,40,'Health:100', {font:'20px Arial',fill:'#fff'});
this.waveText = this.add.text(600,10,'Wave:1', {font:'20px Arial',fill:'#fff'});
this.spawnWave();
function spawnWave() {
this.aliens.clear(true , true); // clear old
const count = 5 + this.wave * 3;
const spacing = 800 / (count +1);
for(let i=0; i<count; i++) {
const x = spacing * (i+1);
const alien = this.aliens .create(x, 50, 'alien');
alien.setData('health',1);
alien.setVelocity(0, 40 + this.wave * 10);
}
this.waveText.setText('Wave: ' + this.wave);
}
Then in update:
const keys = this.input .keyboard.addKeys('W,A,S,D');
const speed = 200;
let vx =0, vy=0;
if(keys.W.isDown) vy -= speed;
if(keys.S.isDown) vy += speed;
if(keys.A.isDown) vx -= speed;
if(keys.D.isDown) vx += speed ;
this.player.setVelocity(vx,vy);
const pointer = this.input.activePointer;
const angle = Phaser.Math.Angle.Between(this.player.x, this.player.y, pointer.x, pointer.y);
this.player.setRotation(angle + Math.PI/2);
// fire
if(pointer.index.html (18122 bytes)Successfully wrote 18122 bytes to index.html

The file has been created. Now I need to verify that it runs properly. The user asked to end with index.html present. I should test it quickly.

MEASUREMENTS
Raw readings from the capture, not a verdict — the grade above is the only judgement. Percentages are how much of the screen changed; the measure under-reports sparse motion on a dark background.
