Build a playable Space Invaders game on a canvas: a player cannon that moves and shoots, a descending grid of aliens that advance and fire back, destructible bunkers, score, and lives. Procedural graphics only, no external assets.
thinking
We are building a self-contained index.html file for the Space Invaders game. Requirements: - Player cannon that moves left/right and shoots - Grid of aliens that descend and fire back - Destructible bunkers - Score and lives display - Procedural graphics (no external assets, use canvas) We'll structure the HTML with: - A <canvas> element for the game - A <style> section for basic layout - A <script> section for the game logic Steps in the script: 1. Set up the canvas and context. 2. Define game objects: player, aliens, bullets, bunkers. 3. Game state: score, lives, game over, etc. 4. Event listeners for player input (movement and shooting). 5. Game loop (using requestAnimationFrame) for updating and rendering. 6. Collision detection between bullets and aliens/bunkers/player. We'll use: - Player: a rectangle at the bottom, controlled by arrow keys and space. - Aliens: a grid of enemies that move horizontally and descend when hitting the edge. - Bunkers: simple barriers that get destroyed when hit by bullets. - Bullets: both from player and aliens. Player bullets move up, alien bullets down. Important: We are writing all code (HTML, CSS, JS) into one index.html file. Let's create the HTML structure first, then the JavaScript code.
I'll create a self-contained Space Invaders game with procedural graphics.

Player cannon that moves with arrow keys and shoots with spacebar 2. Grid of procedurally-generated aliens with multiple colors and patterns 3. Destructible bunkers made of individual blocks 4. Score, level, and lives system 5. Enemy AI that shoots at the player 6. Collision detection for bullets, aliens, bunkers and player 7. Victory and defeat conditions 8. Starry background and explosion effects 9. Difficulty progression (aliens get faster each level) The game is fully self-contained with no external dependencies - all graphics are drawn procedurally on a canvas element using JavaScript. The UI includes: - Score, level and lives display - Start/game over button - Responsive controls - Visual feedback for hits and explosions To play: 1. Left/Right arrow keys to move 2. Spacebar to shoot 3. Aliens descend faster as they're destroyed 4. Destroy bunker blocks for cover 5. Avoid alien bullets and the descending alien formation The whole game fits in one HTML file with HTML for structure, CSS for styling, and JavaScript for game logic.
