Build a playable tile-based platformer on a canvas in the Dangerous Dave style: navigate a level to grab a trophy and then reach the exit, avoiding hazards like fire and water, with jumping and simple enemies. Procedural graphics only, no external assets.

The user wants me to create a Dangerous Dave-style platformer game in a single HTML file. This needs to include: 1. Canvas-based rendering 2. Tile-based level system 3. Player character with jumping mechanics 4. Trophy item to collect 5. Exit goal 6. Hazards (fire, water) 7. Simple enemies 8. Procedural graphics only (no external assets) 9. All CSS and JS inline Let me build this step by step: 1. HTML structure with canvas 2. CSS for styling 3. JavaScript for: - Game loop - Input handling - Physics (gravity, collision) - Tile-based level parsing - Entity management (player, enemies, hazards) - Rendering all sprites procedurally - Win/lose conditions I'll make it a complete, playable game with: - Multiple levels - Smooth controls - Classic platformer feel - Retro pixel-art style drawn with canvas primitives

The file was truncated. Let me write the complete game in one go with all the necessary code.

The file keeps getting truncated. I need to write the complete game in a single write call with all the content. Let me create the full HTML file with everything included.

thinking
The heredoc approach is having issues with the content. Let me try a different approach - I'll write the file using echo or printf, or use a simpler method.

The file was created. Let me verify it exists and check its content to make sure it's complete.

The file exists and has 126 lines, which seems about right for a single-file game. Let me verify the content is complete by reading it to check if all parts are there.

The file is created but I notice there's an issue - the `C` object (colors) is used in the draw function but it's not defined. Let me fix that and also improve the game with more interesting levels, better enemies, and proper hazard tiles.

Good, the file was written. But I realize the levels are too simple and there's no variation. Let me create a much better game with more interesting levels that include all the hazards (spikes, water, fire), enemies, ladders, platforms, etc.

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.
