Using the pre-provided phaser.min.js (global Phaser), build a playable side-scrolling platformer in the classic Mario style: run and jump across scrolling platforms, stomp enemies, collect coins, and reach a goal flag. Use ONLY procedurally generated graphics, no external image or audio assets.

Got it, let's tackle this. First, the user wants a Mario-style side scroller in a single index.html file using phaser.min.js which is already present.
First, I need to remember how Phaser 3 works for platformers. Let's outline the steps:
1. Create the basic HTML structure with the phaser script tag, then a style tag for any layout, then the script tag with the game code.
2. Set up the Phaser game config: dimensions (maybe 800x600, standard for platformers), type Phaser.AUTO, parent, scene with preload, create, update. Wait, but no external assets—so all graphics need to be generated with Phaser's graphics API, no spritesheets from files. Oh right, procedurally generated, so use fill rects, circle graphics, text for coins, etc.
First, let's list the components needed:
- Player: a rectangle (or a simple sprite made with graphics) that can move left/right with arrow keys, jump with space, has collision.
- Platforms: randomly generated (or tiled) ground platforms, some floating? Wait, classic Mario has ground and some floating blocks.
- Enemies: goombas, simple moving rectangles that walk back and forth, killable by stomping (player jumps on them, enemy dies, player gets a bounce up).
- Coins: collectible small circles, add to score when touched.
- Goal flag: at the end of the level, trigger win condition.
- Scrolling camera: follow the player, so the level is wider than the game viewport.
- Score text, lives text, etc.
- No external assets: so all colors are solid, generated via Graphics objects, or use Phaser's built-in shapes. Also, no audio—wait, user said no external assets, so maybe skip audio or use Phaser's sound API with generated beeps? But maybe just skip audio for simplicity, or use the built-in sound system with oscillator tones? Wait, but Phaser's audio can use base64, but maybe easier to just have visual feedback.
Wait, first, let's make sure we don't use any external files. All graphics are procedural. Let's start with the basic game setup.
First, the HTML boilerplate:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Procedural Mario Platformer</title>
<style>
body { margin: 0; padding: 0; background: #87CEEB; } /* Sky blue background */
canvas { display: block; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<script src="phaser.min.js"></script>
<script>
// Game code here
</script>
</body>
</html>
Now, the Phaser scene. Let's define the main scene.
First, the config:
const config = {
type: Phaser.AUTO,
width: 800,
height: 600,
physics: {
default: 'arcade',
arcade: {
gravity: { y: 300 },
debug: false // Set to true for debugging hitboxes
}
},
scene: {
preload: preload,
create: create,
update: update
}
};
Then preload: but we don't load any assets, since everything is procedural. Wait, preload can be empty, or we can generate graphics here? No, preload is for loading, create is for making objects.
Wait, player: let's make a sprite using a graphics object first, then convert it to a texture? Or use Phaser.GameObjects.Rectangle as the player? Wait, better to create a texture dynamically. Let's see: in create, we can draw the player shape, save it to a texture key, then add a sprite with that texture.
Wait, for example:
function create() {
// Create player texture
const graphics = this.add.graphics();
graphics.fillStyle(0xFF0000, 1); // Red player
graphics.fillRect(0, 0, 32, 32); // 32x32 player
this.textures.addCanvas('player', graphics.canvas);
// Then add player sprite
this.player = this.physics.add.sprite(100, 450, 'player').setOrigin(0.5);
this.player.setCollideWorldBounds(true);
// ... rest
}
Wait, but alternatively, use a rectangle shape directly, but using a texture is easier for animations? No, for simple, just a red rectangle.
Wait, platforms: let's generate a level. Let's have a ground platform along the bottom, then some floating platforms. Let's create a function to make platforms. For example, generate platforms at random x positions, with random widths, some at different y heights.
Enemies: goombas, small brown rectangles that move left and right between two points. When the player jumps on them, they get destroyed, and the player gets a small jump boost.
Coins: small yellow circles, collect when player overlaps, add to score, disappear.
Goal flag: at the end of the level, a flag on a pole, when player touches it, show win message.
Camera: set the camera to follow the player, and set the world bounds to be larger than the game width. Let's say the level is 2400 pixels wide, so camera can scroll that far.
Controls: cursor keys for left/right, space for jump.
Score text: add a text object at top left, showing coins collected.
Let's outline the functions:
preload(): empty, since all assets are procedural.
create():
- Set up world bounds: this.physics.world.setBounds(0, 0, 2400, 600);
- Create ground platform: this.add.rectangle(1200, 580, 2400, 40, 0x8B4513).setOrigin(0.5); then add physics body to it: this.physics.add.existing(ground, true); (static body)
Wait, no: to make a static platform, use this.physics.add.staticGroup(), then add platforms to it.
Ah right, Phaser's arcade physics has static groups. So let's create a platforms group: this.platforms = this.physics.add.staticGroup(); then add ground: this.platforms.create(1200, 580, 'ground'). Wait, but we don't have a 'ground' texture. Oh right, so we need to generate the ground texture too. Let's make a brown rectangle texture for platforms:
graphics.fillStyle(0x8B4513, 1);
graphics.fillRect(0,0,64,16);
this.textures.addCanvas('ground', graphics.canvas);
Wait, but reuse the graphics object, clear it each time.
Wait, better to generate all textures dynamically in create, before adding objects.
Wait, let's do:
// First, generate all needed textures
const gen = this.add.graphics();
// Player texture (red 32x32)
gen.clear();
gen.fillStyle(0xFF0000, 1);
gen.fillRect(0, 0, 32, 32);
this.textures.generateTexture('player', 32, 32, gen.generateTexture());
// Ground block texture (brown 64x16)
gen.clear();
gen.fillStyle(0x8B4513, 1);
gen.fillRect(0, 0, 64, 16);
gen.lineStyle(2, 0x654321, 1);
gen.strokeRect(0, 0, 64, 16);
this.textures.generateTexture('ground', 64, 16, gen.generateTexture());
// Coin texture (yellow 16x16 circle)
gen.clear();
gen.fillStyle(0xFFD700, 1);
gen.beginPath();
gen.arc(8, 8, 8, 0, Math.PI * 2);
gen.fill();
this.textures.generateTexture('coin', 16, 16, gen.generateTexture());
// Goomba enemy texture (brown 24x24)
gen.clear();
gen.fillStyle(0x8B4513, 1);
gen.fillRect(0, 8, 24, 16); // body
gen.fillStyle(0x000000, 1);
gen.fillRect(4, 10, 4, 4); // eye left
gen.fillRect(16, 10, 4, 4); // eye right
this.textures.generateTexture('goomba', 24, 24, gen.generateTexture());
// Flag pole texture (white 4x128)
gen.clear();
gen.fillStyle(0xFFFFFF, 1);
gen.fillRect(0, 0, 4, 128);
this.textures.generateTexture('flagpole', 4, 128, gen.generateTexture());
// Flag texture (red 32x16)
gen.clear();
gen.fillStyle(0xFF0000, 1);
gen.fillRect(0, 0, 32, 16);
gen.lineStyle(2, 0xFFFFFF, 1);
gen.strokeRect(0, 0, 32, 16);
this.textures.generateTexture('flag', 32, 16, gen.generateTexture());
Then, create the platforms group: this.platforms = this.physics.add.staticGroup();
Then generate the level: let's add ground first, then some floating platforms. Let's loop and add ground platforms? Wait no, the ground is a single long platform? No, better to tile the ground, but actually, let's make the ground from x=0 to x=2400, y=580, height 40. Wait, but using static group: this.platforms.create(1200, 580, 'ground').setScale(2400/64, 40/16); wait, because each ground texture is 64x16, so scaling it to 2400 width would be 2400/64 = 37.5, and 40/16=2.5. That works.
Then add some floating platforms: for (let i=0; i<10; i++) { let x = Phaser.Math.Between(200, 2200); let y = Phaser.Math.Between(100, 400); let width = Phaser.Math.Between(64, 192); this.platforms.create(x, y, 'ground').setScale(width/64, 1); } That will add 10 random floating platforms.
Then add the player: this.player = this.physics.add.sprite(100, 450, 'player'); this.player.setBounce(0.2); this.player.setCollideWorldBounds(true);
Then add colliders: this.physics.add.collider(this.player, this.platforms);
Then add enemies: this.enemies = this.physics.add.group(); let goombaX = 300; while (goombaX < 2200) { let goombaY = 580 - 12; // on top of ground let enemy = this.enemies.create(goombaX, goombaY, 'goomba'); enemy.setVelocityX(Phaser.Math.Between(50, 100) * (Phaser.Math.Between(0,1) ? 1 : -1)); enemy.body.allowGravity = false; enemy.setCollideWorldBounds(true); goombaX += Phaser.Math.Between(200, 400); } Wait, but enemies need to turn around when they hit walls. So in the update function, check if enemy is touching left or right, reverse velocity.
Then add coins: this.coins = this.physics.add.group(); for (let i=0; i<50; i++) { let x = Phaser.Math.Between(50, 2300); let y = Phaser.Math.Between(50, 500); this.coins.create(x, y, 'coin'); } Then add overlap between player and coins: this.physics.add.overlap(this.player, this.coins, collectCoin, null, this); Where collectCoin is a function that removes the coin and adds to score.
Then add the goal flag: let flagX = 2300; let flagY = 300; this.add.sprite(flagX, flagY, 'flagpole'); let flag = this.add.sprite(flagX + 16, flagY - 64, 'flag'); flag.setOrigin(1, 0); // anchor to left of pole this.goal = this.physics.add.staticSprite(flagX, flagY - 64, 'flag'); Wait no, need a collider for the goal: this.physics.add.existing(this.goal, true); Then add overlap between player and goal: this.physics.add.overlap(this.player, this.goal, winGame, null, this);
Then controls: this.cursors = this.input.keyboard.createCursorKeys(); this.spaceBar = this.input.keyboard.addKey(Phaser.Input.Keyboard.KeyCodes.SPACE);
Camera setup: this.cameras.main.startFollow(this.player); this.cameras.main.setZoom(1); this.cameras.main.setBounds(0, 0, 2400, 600);
Score text: this.score = 0; this.scoreText = this.add.text(16, 16, 'Score: 0', { fontSize: '32px', fill: '#000' }); this.scoreText.setScrollFactor(0); // keep fixed on screen
Then the update function: handle player movement. Let's see:
function update() {
// Player movement
const speed = 200;
if (this.cursors.left.isDown) {
this.player.setVelocityX(-speed);
this.player.flipX = true;
} else if (this.cursors.right.isDown) {
this.player.setVelocityX(speed);
this.player.flipX = false;
} else {
this.player.setVelocityX(0);
}
// Jump: only if player is on the ground
if (Phaser.Input.Keyboard.JustDown(this.spaceBar) && this.player.body.touching.down) {
this.player.setVelocityY(-330);
}
// Enemy movement and turning around
this.enemies.getChildren().forEach(enemy => {
if (enemy.body.blocked.left || enemy.body.blocked.right) {
enemy.setVelocityX(-enemy.body.velocity.x);
}
});
// Check if player fell off the level: if y > 600, reset position
if (this.player.y > 600) {
this.player.setPosition(100, 450);
this.player.setVelocity(0, 0);
}
}
Then the collectCoin function: function collectCoin(player, coin) { coin.destroy(); this.score += 10; this.scoreText.setText('Score: ' + this.score); }
Win game function: function winGame() { this.physics.pause(); this.player.setTint(0x00FF00); this.add.text(400, 300, 'You Win!', { fontSize: '64px', fill: '#000' }).setOrigin(0.5).setScrollFactor(0); }
Wait, also, when the player stomps an enemy: so when player jumps on enemy, enemy is destroyed, player gets a bounce. So add a collider between player and enemies: this.physics.add.collider(this.player, this.enemies, hitEnemy, null, this); Then hitEnemy function: function hitEnemy(player, enemy) { if (player.body.velocity.y > 0 && enemy.y > player.y) { // player is above enemy enemy.destroy(); player.setVelocityY(-200); // bounce up this.score += 100; this.scoreText.setText('Score: ' + this.score); } else { // player got hit by enemy, lose life? Let's add lives: this.lives = 3; wait, let's adjust: add lives text, and if player touches enemy when not on top, lose a life. If lives reach 0, game over. Oh right, I forgot that. Let's add lives: in create, this.lives = 3; this.livesText = this.add.text(16, 60, 'Lives: 3', { fontSize: '32px', fill: '#000' }); this.livesText.setScrollFactor(0); Then modify hitEnemy: function hitEnemy(player, enemy) { if (player.body.velocity.y > 0 && enemy.y < player.y) { // Wait, wait: player.body.velocity.y is negative when going up, positive when down. So if player is moving down (velocity.y >0) and enemy is below player (enemy.y > player.y? No, wait enemy's y is the center. So if player's bottom is above enemy's top: player.body.bottom < enemy.body.top. Oh right, better to check that. So: if (player.body.bottom <= enemy.body.top && player.body.velocity.y > 0) { // stomped enemy enemy.destroy(); player.setVelocityY(-200); this.score += 100; this.scoreText.setText('Score: ' + this.score); } else { // player hit enemy from side, lose life loseLife(); } } Then loseLife function: function loseLife() { this.lives--; this.livesText.setText('Lives: ' + this.lives); if (this.lives <= 0) { gameOver(); } else { // reset player position this.player.setPosition(100, 450); this.player.setVelocity(0, 0); } } And gameOver function: function gameOver() { this.physics.pause(); this.player.setTint(0xFF0000); this.add.text(400, 300, 'Game Over!', { fontSize: '64px', fill: '#000' }).setOrigin(0.5).setScrollFactor(0); }
Wait, also, the enemies: when we create them, we need to set their body size? Because the goomba texture is 24x24, so enemy.body.setSize(24,24); yes, that's better.
Also, the player: setSize(32,32), setOffset(0,0);
Wait, let's adjust all the texture generations to have correct sizes. Also, when generating the ground texture, it's 64x16, so scaling platforms is correct.
Wait, also, the initial ground platform: when we do this.platforms.create(1200, 580, 'ground').setScale(2400/64, 40/16); that's 2400 pixels wide, 40 pixels tall, which matches the ground height. Correct.
Now, let's put all this together into the script tag. Also, remember to initialize the game: new Phaser.Game(config); at the end.
Wait, but let's check for any missing parts:
- The generateTexture function: in Phaser 3, textures.generateTexture takes a key, width, height, and the graphics source? Wait, no, the correct syntax is: this.textures.generateTexture(key, width, height, drawCallback); or alternatively, use a canvas. Wait, actually, another way: create a graphics object, draw to it, then generate a texture from it. Let's correct that: for example, for the player:
const g = this.add.graphics();
g.fillStyle(0xFF0000, 1);
g.fillRect(0, 0, 32, 32);
this.textures.addCanvas('player', g.canvas);
// Then destroy the graphics object so it's not in the scene: g.destroy();
Oh right, because if we don't destroy the graphics object, it will be added to the scene and visible, which we don't want. So better to create the graphics, draw, generate the texture, then destroy the graphics.
Wait, let's adjust all the texture generation steps to do that:
// Generate all procedural textures
{
// Player: red square
const g = this.add.graphics();
g.fillStyle(0xFF0000, 1);
g.fillRect(0, 0, 32, 32);
this.textures.addCanvas('player', g.canvas);
g.destroy();
// Ground platform: brown rectangle with border
const g2 = this.add.graphics();
g2.fillStyle(0x8B4513, 1);
g2.fillRect(0, 0, 64, 16);
g2.lineStyle(2, 0x654321, 1);
g2.strokeRect(0, 0, 64, 16);
this.textures.addCanvas('ground', g2.canvas);
g2.destroy();
// Coin: yellow circle
const g3 = this.add.graphics();
g3.fillStyle(0xFFD700, 1);
g3.beginPath();
g3.arc(8, 8, 8, 0, Math.PI * 2);
g3.closePath();
g3.fill();
this.textures.addCanvas('coin', g3.canvas);
g3.destroy();
// Goomba enemy: brown with eyes
const g4 = this.add.graphics();
g4.fillStyle(0x8B4513, 1);
g4.fillRect(0, 8, 24, 16); // body
g4.fillStyle(0x000000, 1);
g4.fillRect(4, 10, 4, 4); // left eye
g4.fillRect(16, 10, 4, 4); // right eye
this.textures.addCanvas('goomba', g4.canvas);
g4.destroy();
// Flag pole: white rectangle
const g5 = this.add.graphics();
g5.fillStyle(0xFFFFFF, 1);
g5.fillRect(0, 0, 4, 128);
this.textures.addCanvas('flagpole', g5.canvas);
g5.destroy();
// Flag: red rectangle with border
const g6 = this.add.graphics();
g6.fillStyle(0xFF0000, 1);
g6.fillRect(0, 0, 32, 16);
g6.lineStyle(2, 0xFFFFFF, 1);
g6.strokeRect(0, 0, 32, 16);
this.textures.addCanvas('flag', g6.canvas);
g6.destroy();
}
That's better, because we don't leave the graphics objects in the scene.
Now, let's add the platforms:
// Create ground platform (full width of level)
const ground = this.platforms.create(1200, 580, 'ground');
ground.setScale(2400 / 64, 40 / 16); // scale to 2400px wide, 40px tall
// Add random floating platforms
for (let i = 0; i < 12; i++) {
const x = Phaser.Math.Between(200, 2200);
const y = Phaser.Math.Between(100, 450);
const width = Phaser.Math.Between(64, 192);
const platform = this.platforms.create(x, y, 'ground');
platform.setScale(width / 64, 1);
}
Then add enemies:
// Add goomba enemies
this.enemies = this.physics.add.group();
let goombaX = 300;
while (goombaX < 2200) {
const goombaY = 580 - 12; // sit on top of ground
const enemy = this.enemies.create(goombaX, goombaY, 'goomba');
// Set random left/right velocity
const speed = Phaser.Math.Between(50, 100);
enemy.setVelocityX(Phaser.Math.Between(0, 1) ? speed : -speed);
enemy.body.allowGravity = false;
enemy.setCollideWorldBounds(true);
enemy.body.setSize(24, 24); // match goomba texture size
goombaX += Phaser.Math.Between(200, 400);
}
Then coins:
// Add collectible coins
this.coins = this.physics.add.group();
for (let i = 0; i < 60; i++) {
const x = Phaser.Math.Between(50, 2300);
const y = Phaser.Math.Between(50, 500);
const coin = this.coins.create(x, y, 'coin');
coin.body.allowGravity = false; // coins don't fall
coin.body.setSize(16, 16);
}
Then goal:
// Add goal flag at end of level
const flagPoleX = 2300;
const flagPoleY = 300;
this.add.sprite(flagPoleX, flagPoleY, 'flagpole');
const flag = this.add.sprite(flagPoleX + 16, flagPoleY - 64, 'flag');
flag.setOrigin(1, 0); // anchor flag to left side of pole
// Goal trigger sprite
this.goal = this.physics.add.staticSprite(flagPoleX, flagPoleY - 64, 'flag');
this.goal.body.setSize(32, 16);
this.goal.visible = false; // hide the trigger sprite, since we have the visual flag
Then player setup:
// Create player sprite
this.player = this.physics.add.sprite(100, 450, 'player');
this.player.setBounce(0.2);
this.player.setCollideWorldBounds(true);
this.player.body.setSize(32, 32); // match player texture size
Then colliders:
// Add physics colliders
this.physics.add.collider(this.player, this.platforms);
this.physics.add.collider(this.enemies, this.platforms); // enemies don't fall through platforms
this.physics.add.collider(this.player, this.enemies, hitEnemy, null, this);
this.physics.add.overlap(this.player, this.coins, collectCoin, null, this);
this.physics.add.overlap(this.player, this.goal, winGame, null, this);
Then controls and camera:
// Input controls
this.cursors = this.input.keyboard.createCursorKeys();
this.spaceBar = this.input.keyboard.addKey(Phaser.Input.Keyboard.KeyCodes.SPACE);
// Camera setup: follow player, lock to level bounds
this.cameras.main.startFollow(this.player);
this.cameras.main.setBounds(0, 0, 2400, 600);
this.cameras.main.setZoom(1);
// Score and lives UI
this.score = 0;
this.scoreText = this.add.text(16, 16, 'Score: 0', { fontSize: '32px', fill: '#000' });
this.scoreText.setScrollFactor(0); // keep UI fixed on screen
this.lives = 3;
this.livesText = this.add.text(16, 60, 'Lives: 3', { fontSize: '32px', fill: '#000' });
this.livesText.setScrollFactor(0);
Then the helper functions: collectCoin, hitEnemy, loseLife, winGame, gameOver.
Wait, these functions need to be inside the create function? No, wait, in Phaser, the scene's methods are defined in the scene object, but if we are using a single object with preload, create, update, then we can define them as variables inside the create function, or outside. Wait, better to define them inside the create function's scope, so they have access to the scene's this context.
Wait, let's wrap all the create code inside the create function, and define the helper functions there.
Wait, for example:
function create() {
const self = this; // save this context
// ... all the texture generation, platforms, enemies, etc.
// Collect coin handler
function collectCoin(player, coin) {
coin.destroy();
self.score += 10;
self.scoreText.setText(`Score: ${self.score}`);
}
// Hit enemy handler
function hitEnemy(player, enemy) {
// Check if player is stomping the enemy (falling onto it)
if (player.body.bottom <= enemy.body.top && player.body.velocity.y > 0) {
enemy.destroy();
player.setVelocityY(-200); // bounce player up
self.score += 100;
self.scoreText.setText(`Score: ${self.score}`);
} else {
// Player was hit by enemy
loseLife();
}
}
// Lose a life
function loseLife() {
self.lives--;
self.livesText.setText(`Lives: ${self.lives}`);
if (self.lives <= 0) {
gameOver();
} else {
// Reset player to start position
self.player.setPosition(100, 450);
self.player.setVelocity(0, 0);
}
}
// Game over handler
function gameOver() {
self.physics.pause();
self.player.setTint(0xFF0000);
self.add.text(400, 300, 'Game Over!', {
fontSize: '64px',
fill: '#000'
}).setOrigin(0.5).setScrollFactor(0);
}
// Win game handler
function winGame() {
self.physics.pause();
self.player.setTint(0x00FF00);
self.add.text(400, 300, 'You Win!', {
fontSize: '64px',
fill: '#000'
}).setOrigin(0.5).setScrollFactor(0);
}
}
Ah, right, using self = this to save the context, because inside the nested functions, this will not be the scene. That's important.
Then the update function:
function update() {
// Player movement
const speed = 200;
if (this.cursors.left.isDown) {
this.player.setVelocityX(-speed);
this.player.flipX = true;
} else if (this.cursors.right.isDown) {
this.player.setVelocityX(speed);
this.player.flipX = false;
} else {
this.player.setVelocityX(0);
}
// Jump: only allow when player is touching ground
if (Phaser.Input.Keyboard.JustDown(this.spaceBar) && this.player.body.touching.down) {
this.player.setVelocityY(-330);
}
// Make enemies turn around when hitting walls
this.enemies.getChildren().forEach(enemy => {
if (enemy.body.blocked.left || enemy.body.blocked.right) {
enemy.setVelocityX(-enemy.body.velocity.x);
}
});
// Reset player if they fall off the level
if (this.player.y > 600) {
loseLife(); // use the loseLife function, since falling off is like getting hit
}
}
Wait, but in the update function, this is the scene, right? Because the update function is a method of the scene, so yes, this.cursors, this.player, etc., are all available.
Wait, but the loseLife function is defined inside create, so in update, we need to access it via self.loseLife? No, wait no, if we define loseLife inside create, then update can access it if it's in the same scope. Wait, no, the update function is a separate method. Oh wait, no, the way we have it now: the preload, create, update are passed as separate functions to the scene. So the update function is a top-level function, not inside create. Oh, that's a problem. Because the update function won't have access to the variables defined inside create, like this.enemies, this.player, etc.
Ah, right! I made a mistake here. The correct way is to define all the scene methods as properties of the scene object, or use arrow functions, but better to structure the scene properly.
Wait, let's restructure the code to use a class for the scene, which is the modern Phaser 3 way. Oh right! Because if we use a class, then all the methods have access to the scene's this context.
Wait, let's adjust the code to use a Phaser.Scene class:
class PlatformerScene extends Phaser.Scene {
constructor() {
super('PlatformerScene');
}
preload() {
// No preload needed, all textures are generated
}
create() {
// Save self reference if needed, but in class methods, this is the scene
this.score = 0;
this.lives = 3;
// Generate all procedural textures
this.generateTextures();
// Create platforms group
this.platforms = this.physics.add.staticGroup();
// Ground platform
const ground = this.platforms.create(1200, 580, 'ground');
ground.setScale(2400 / 64, 40 / 16);

Then, the config:
const config = {
type: Phaser.AUTO,
width: 800,
height: 600,
parent: null,
physics: {
default: 'arcade',
arcade: {
gravity: { y: 300 },
debug: false
}
},
scene: PlatformerScene
};
Then initialize the game:
new Phaser.Game(config);
That's better! Because now all the methods are part of the scene class, so this refers to the scene correctly.
Now, let's check for any issues:
- The generateTextures method creates all the needed textures, then destroys the graphics objects so they don't clutter the scene.
- The platforms group has static bodies, so they don't move.
- Enemies have gravity disabled, move back and forth, turn around when hitting walls.
- Coins don't have gravity, collectible.
- The goal is a hidden sprite that triggers the win condition when touched.
- The camera follows the player, and is locked to the level bounds (2400px wide).
- The UI text is fixed to the screen, not scrolling with the camera.
- Losing lives resets the player to the start position.
- Falling off the level calls loseLife.
- Stomping enemies kills them and bounces the player, hitting them from the side loses a life.
Also, the player can jump only when touching the ground, which is correct for Mario-style platformers.
Now, let's add some extra touches: maybe the player has a small idle animation? No, wait, we don't have spritesheets, but we can just leave it as a red rectangle, that's fine for procedural.
Also, the background: the body has a sky blue background, which matches the sky, that's good.
Wait, but the game's canvas background: by default, Phaser's canvas has a transparent background, so the body's background will show through, which is correct.
Now, let's put all this together into the index.html file. Let's make sure that the phaser.min.js is included correctly, with <script src="phaser.min.js"></script>. The user said that phaser.min.js is already present in the current directory, so that's correct.
Also, all the code is self-contained, no external assets, everything is procedural. No network requests, everything is done via Phaser's built-in graphics and physics.
Now, let's write the full index.html file:
First, the HTML boilerplate, then the style, then the script tags. Let's make sure everything is in one file.
Wait, let's write the full code:

Wait, I added font-family to the text, so it's more readable, and centered the canvas in the body with flexbox. That's better.
Now, let's check if all the requirements are met:
- Single-page web app, all in index.html: yes.
- Uses phaser.min.js, which is present: yes, <script src="phaser.min.js"></script>.
- Procedurally generated graphics, no external assets: yes, all textures are generated with Phaser's Graphics API, no images/audio loaded from outside.
- Classic Mario style side-scroller: run and jump with arrow keys/space, stomp enemies, collect coins, reach goal flag: yes.
- Scrolling platforms: camera follows player, level is 2400px wide: yes.
- No external resources: yes, all code is inline, no CDNs, no network requests.
Perfect! Now, the user asked to write this into index.html in the current directory, so I need to use the write function to create this file.→ write

Great! The file was written successfully. Now, let's verify that everything is correct. The user wanted a playable side-scrolling platformer in classic Mario style, using only procedural graphics, no external assets, all in one index.html file using phaser.min.js which is present. The code we wrote includes: 1. Full Phaser 3 scene using arcade physics 2. Procedurally generated textures for player, platforms, coins, enemies, flagpole and flag 3. Player movement with arrow keys and jump with spacebar 4. Randomly generated floating platforms and ground 5. Patrol enemies (goombas) that turn around when hitting walls 6. Collectible coins that add to score 7. Goal flag at the end of the level that triggers win state 8. Lives system, game over and win screens 9. Scrolling camera that follows the player 10. Fixed UI for score and lives that stays on screen All graphics are generated dynamically using Phaser's Graphics API, no external images or audio. The game is fully self-contained in index.html, and uses the local phaser.min.js file as requested. I should now confirm to the user that the file has been created successfully, and explain the controls: arrow keys to move, space to jump, collect coins, stomp enemies, reach the flag at the end to win.
Success! I've created a complete, self-contained Mario-style side-scrolling platformer in `/tmp/ws/index.html`. ### Game Features: 1. **Procedural graphics only**: All textures (player, platforms, coins, enemies, flag) are generated dynamically with Phaser's drawing API 2. Classic Mario gameplay: - Arrow keys to move left/right - Space bar to jump (only when grounded) - Stomp enemies to defeat them and earn points - Collect coins for extra points - Reach the red flag at the end of the level to win 3. Scrolling camera that follows your player 4. Lives system + game over/win states 5. Randomly generated floating platforms and enemy patrol paths ### Controls: - **Left/Right Arrows**: Move horizontally - **Space Bar**: Jump - Fall off the level to lose a life The game runs fully offline with no external resources, using the pre-provided `phaser.min.js` file. Just open `index.html` in a modern web browser to play!
