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
I need to create a complete, playable Snake game in a single HTML file. Let me think through the requirements: 1. Canvas-based game 2. Arrow key controls 3. Growing tail 4. Food 5. Score display 6. Game-over state 7. Restart functionality All in one self-contained HTML file with inline CSS and JavaScript. Let me structure this: 1. HTML structure with canvas and UI elements 2. CSS for styling 3. JavaScript for game logic Game mechanics: - Snake starts at center moving right - Arrow keys change direction - Food appears randomly - Snake grows when eating food - Game over on wall collision or self-collision - Restart option Let me write this all in one file.
I'll create a complete, playable Snake game in a single self-contained HTML file. ```html <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>Snake Game</title> <style> body { margin: 0;

It includes high score persistence via localStorage and automatically speeds up as you play. All controls are handled through keyboard input, and the game restarts automatically when you click the restart button after game over.
