No external resources.

Key elements:

- Tile-based level on a canvas.

- Player character that can move left right, jump.

- Goal: grab a trophy, then reach the exit.

- Hazards: fire and water.

- Simple enemies.

- Procedural graphics only – draw everything with canvas primitives, no images.

I need to implement this in one HTML file.

First, structure the HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang=" en">

<head>

<meta charset="UTF-8">

<title>Dangerous Dave Clone</title>

<style>

body { margin:0; background:black; color:white; font-family:monospace; }

canvas { border:1px solid white; display:block; margin:auto; }

#overlay { position:absolute; top 0; left0; width100%; height100%; pointer-events:none; }

#instructions { position:absolute; bottom0; left0; width100%; text-align:center; padding-bottom:10px; }

</style>

</head>

<body>

<canvas id="c" width="800" height="480"></ canvas>

<div id="overlay">

<div id="instructions">Use arrows to move, space to jump. Collect trophy then exit. Avoid fire and water.</div>

</div>

<script>

// JS code here

</script>

</body>

</html>

Now, the JS part.

Define constants:

const TILE_SIZE = 32;

const COLS = 25; // width in tiles

const ROWS = 15; // height

const CANVAS_WIDTH = COLS * TILE_SIZE; // 800

const CANVAS_HEIGHT = ROWS * TILE_SIZE; // 480

let map = Array(ROWS).fill().

The task is complete. I've built a single self-contained index.html file with a playable tile-based platformer inspired by Dangerous Dave.
