**Developing Core Asteroids Mechanics** I'm currently focusing on refining the fundamental gameplay loop. The ship's movement and rotation are solid, and I've integrated robust collision detection for both asteroids and projectiles. Next, I'm diving into the asteroid fragmentation system and fine-tuning the spawning logic. **Implementing Retro Visuals** I'm now concentrating on enhancing the visual fidelity to achieve that authentic retro vector-arcade look. This includes implementing the phosphor glow, scanline effects, and dynamic particle systems. I'm also working on integrating floating score popups and screen shake for impactful moments, alongside the core physics and control responsiveness. **Refining Spaceship Controls** I'm solidifying the spaceship's interaction mechanics. Edge wrapping for seamless movement across the screen is now in place. I'm also detailing the shooting system, including bullet lifespans and active bullet limits, and designing the hyperspace jump with its visual effects and associated risks. **Adding Enemy Saucers** I'm now integrating enemy UFOs with distinct behaviors and scoring. I'm also building out the particle system for explosions and score indicators, and refining the vector graphics and CRT shader options, including selectable phosphor themes and scanline overlays. **Integrating Sound Effects** I'm now focusing on bringing the audio experience to life. I've successfully implemented procedural sound generation for the heartbeat, thrust, laser fire, and various explosion types. I'm also developing the saucer warble, hyperspace whoosh, and bonus fanfare, alongside UI elements for sound control.

**Developing Vector Font Engine** I'm focusing on building a custom vector font generator and rendering system from scratch. My immediate goal is to implement a robust engine capable of drawing characters, starting with the A-Z alphabet, with hyper-responsiveness in mind for a flawless `index.html`. **Crafting Vector Graphics** I'm currently refining the procedural generation for game assets, specifically focusing on authentic ship geometry and a dynamic explosion effect. Asteroids are next, with plans for varied vertex counts and jagged radius patterns. **Designing Game Assets** I'm detailing the geometric properties for new enemy types. I've defined radius ranges for asteroid generation and specified the classic vector shapes and movement patterns for flying saucers, including their projectile behaviors based on size. Particle effects for various game events are also being outlined. **Implementing Edge-Crossing Logic** I'm refining the rendering system to handle screen edge wrapping for game entities. I've also detailed collision detection algorithms and am outlining the mechanics for hyperspace, including potential malfunctions and recovery. **Designing Audio Feedback** I'm detailing the sound design for player actions and game states. This includes distinct sounds for thrusting, firing, explosions, extra lives, and hyperspace jumps. I'm also defining how the master volume and mute toggles will interact with UI feedback.

**Verifying HTML Syntax** I'm currently focusing on the `index.html` file, meticulously checking its syntax and ensuring all required elements are present. My current efforts involve verifying the implementation of thrust, rotation, limited bullet shooting, screen wrapping, and the asteroid splitting mechanic.

**Testing Screen Edge Behavior** I'm currently analyzing how objects wrap around the screen edges. My focus is on ensuring this transition is seamless, especially for partial crossings of the player ship, asteroids, and saucers. I'm verifying the position updates as their centers wrap.

**Implementing Screen Shake** I'm focusing on integrating screen shake functionality into the `Game` class. Initial thoughts involve adding a `screenShake` property and setting its value in response to specific events like player death, saucer destruction, and asteroid splitting, with varying intensities.

**Verifying Game Functionality** I've confirmed the core mechanics are in place, ensuring the vector ship handles as expected with inertia and visual cues. The shooting and screen-wrapping features are also functioning correctly, complete with laser sound effects.
I have built a complete, retro vector-arcade **Asteroids** game in a single self-contained `index.html` file with zero external assets, CDNs, or network requests. ### Game Features: - **Procedural Vector Graphics & Phosphor Glow**: - Vector wireframe ship with authentic geometry, animated thruster flame, and exhaust sparks. - Multi-stage jagged asteroids (Large $\rightarrow$ Medium $\rightarrow$ Small) with procedural geometry and spin. - Classic Large and Small Flying Saucers (UFOs) with directional patrol and targeting AI. - Ship destruction with physical vector line break-up into drifting debris. - Seamless edge wrapping rendering across all screen boundaries. - Screen shake and floating vector score popups. - Custom vector stroke font renderer for all HUD text, scores, and menus. - **Physics & Controls**: - Smooth rotation (Left/Right or A/D), realistic thrust acceleration with inertia, maximum speed clamp, and subtle vacuum friction. - Screen-wrapping toroidal coordinates for ship, bullets, asteroids, and particles. - Hyperspace warp jump (`Shift`, `Down`, `S`, or `Warp` button) with particle collapse effect. - Respawn invulnerability shield and safe spawn detection. - Touch controls automatically available for mobile and tablet devices. - **Procedural Web Audio Engine**: - Classic accelerating two-tone heartbeat drum. - Thrust rumble engine sound, laser fire sweeps, UFO warble sirens, and layered explosion noise filters. - Bonus ship fanfare and hyperspace warp sound effects. - **Scoring, Progression & Themes**: - Score system (Large: 20, Med: 50, Small: 100, Big UFO: 200, Small UFO: 1000) with extra lives awarded every 10,000 points. - Wave progression with increasing asteroid speed, counts, and UFO difficulty. - Arcade High Score leaderboard with 3-letter initials entry saved to `localStorage`. - 5 selectable vector monitor themes: *Phosphor Green*, *Classic White*, *Amber CRT*, *Cyber Neon*, and *Vectrex Cyan*. - Toggleable CRT scanline and vignette overlay (`V`).
