Build a playable Snake game on a canvas with arrow-key controls, a growing tail, food, score, and a game-over and restart state.

<thinking>To create a playable Snake game in a single HTML file, I'll need to write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The HTML will structure the page, the CSS will style it, and the JavaScript will handle the game logic. I'll start by writing the basic structure and then incrementally add the game logic and styles.</thinking> <thinking>Now that the basic structure is in place, I'll add the missing parts: the game over and restart logic, and the score display. I'll also need to handle edge cases where the snake hits the wall or itself.</thinking> <thinking>Finally, I'll add the score display to the canvas. This will involve adding a function to draw the score on the canvas.</thinking> <thinking>The game is now complete. I'll verify that everything works as expected.</thinking>

<thinking>It appears there was an error because the file was not found when attempting to display its contents. This could be due to a temporary issue with the file system or a timing issue where the file was not yet created when the command was executed. I'll attempt to read the file again to verify its contents.</thinking>

<thinking>It seems that the file is indeed empty. This could be due to an issue with the write operation. I'll attempt to write the content again and then read it to confirm that it's been successfully written.</thinking> <thinking>The file should now contain the complete HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code for the Snake game. I'll verify that the file has been successfully written and contains the expected content.</thinking>
