Build a playable Space Invaders-style game on a canvas using procedural graphics. Use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as needed. Write it to `index.html` in the current working directory using your file tools. Inline your own CSS and JavaScript. Do not use external assets, CDNs, or network requests. No third-party libraries are provided. Required behavior: - Use Left/Right or A/D to move a cannon along the bottom and Space to fire upward. Display the controls and keep the cannon within the playfield. - Start with a grid of aliens that moves horizontally, reverses and descends at the edges, and fires toward the player. Player shots remove hit aliens and increase score once. - Place destructible bunkers between the cannon and aliens. Hits from either side remove bunker material persistently; shots can subsequently pass through the resulting gaps. - Start with three lives. Enemy shots cost a life with brief protection from repeated damage. Aliens reaching the player zone or zero lives causes Game Over; clearing the aliens shows a win state. - Provide Restart to restore aliens, bunkers, score, lives, and player position. Bound projectile lifetime and fire rate. Verify: Test movement and firing during the opening formation. Check alien motion and inspect a shot hitting a bunker or alien for visible damage or score feedback. Use Restart and check the initial formation, bunkers, lives, and score.

Built and verified `index.html` (19KB, self-contained, no external resources/CDN). **Game implemented:** - Canvas 800×600 procedural graphics: pixel-sprite aliens (3 types), cannon, destructible bunkers, starfield, particles, glowing projectiles - Controls displayed in HUD: `◀/▶` or `A/D` to move (clamped to playfield), `Space` to fire (0.25s fire-rate cap), `R`/Restart button to reset - 9×5 alien grid (45 aliens) moving horizontally, reversing/descending at edges, speeding up as they die, firing aimed shots downward - 4 bunkers as cell grids — hit from either player or alien shots, chunks removed persistently, shots pass through gaps - Player shots kill aliens once (+10/+20/+30 by row, floating score text, HUD score/alien count), 3 lives with 2s blinking shield after a hit, Game Over on 0 lives or aliens reaching player zone, Win on clearing all aliens, hi-score saved - Bounded projectile lifetime (3s / offscreen), Restart restores aliens, bunkers, score, lives, and player position **Checked in browser:** - Initial load: formation, intact bunkers, cannon centered, Score 0 / Lives ♥♥♥ / Aliens 45, no console errors after initial fix - Movement keys, Space firing (yellow bullet visible), alien formation shifting right, enemy bullets hitting player (Lives ♥♥ → ♥, “shielded briefly” toast — confirming invulnerability delay) - Alien kill: Score 0→10, Aliens 45→44 with visible gap in formation; bunker damage/bite visible on 2nd bunker from both sides - Game Over overlay after losing last life with final score/hi-score; Restart via `R` (and button): restored Score 0, Lives ♥♥♥, Aliens 45, intact bunkers, centered cannon **Unverified:** Full win playthrough (clearing all 45 aliens), aliens reaching player zone without player death, and cannon clamping at extreme left/right edges (movement code clamps, but I didn't hold a key long enough to hit the edge).
