Prompt for this run
Build Conway's Game of Life on a canvas with a 60 by 40 grid and finite, non-wrapping boundaries. Use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as needed. Write it to `index.html` in the current working directory using your file tools. Inline your own CSS and JavaScript. Do not use external assets, CDNs, or network requests. No third-party libraries are provided. Required behavior: - Apply the standard rules simultaneously: a live cell survives with two or three live neighbors, and a dead cell becomes live with exactly three. Treat cells outside the grid as dead. - Start paused with a visible blinker pattern. Provide Play/Pause, Step, Randomize, and Clear, plus a generation counter. - While paused, clicking toggles a cell. On a drag, choose painting alive or dead from the first cell and apply that same state to each visited cell, without repeatedly toggling it. - Step advances exactly one generation while paused. Randomize and Clear leave the simulation paused and reset the generation counter; Clear removes all live cells. - Fit the grid and controls within the viewport while keeping cells distinguishable. Verify: Step the initial blinker twice and compare its alternating arrangements. Paint a short stroke while paused and check consistent cell painting, then use Clear and confirm the grid and generation counter reset.

Built `index.html` — a self-contained Conway's Game of Life (60×40 canvas, 16px cells, finite non-wrapping boundaries, B3/S23 applied simultaneously, paused horizontal blinker at centre, Play/Pause, Step, Randomize, Clear, generation counter, paused click/drag painting where the first cell sets alive/dead and that state is applied idempotently along the stroke, grid lines for cell distinction, layout constrained to the viewport, no external resources). Checked in the browser (no console errors): - Initial load: paused, `Generation: 0`, horizontal blinker visible. - Step ×2: generation 1 showed the vertical blinker, generation 2 returned to horizontal — confirming alternating oscillator and single-step advancement. - Drag-paint while paused: a horizontal stroke painted a consistent row of live cells without generation change. - Clear: grid emptied and counter reset to `Generation: 0` while remaining paused. - Play click: label switched to Pause / status to Running (then reloaded to restore the paused blinker). Not fully verified: Randomize output/reset and long-running Play evolution over time were not exercised beyond the Play label change; erasing-drag (starting on a live cell) was not separately tested, though it uses the same paint-value path.
