The user wants me to build a complete Space Invaders game as a single HTML file with: 1. Canvas-based graphics 2. Player cannon that moves and shoots 3. Descending grid of aliens that advance and fire back 4. Destructible bunkers 5. Score and lives display 6. No external assets - procedural graphics only 7. Everything in one self-contained index.html file Let me create this game. I'll need to implement: - Game loop with requestAnimationFrame - Player movement (left/right keys) - Shooting (spacebar) - Alien grid that moves horizontally and descends - Alien shooting - Bunkers with destructible blocks - Collision detection - Score and lives tracking I'll write the complete HTML file with embedded CSS and JavaScript.
I'll build a complete Space Invaders game in a single HTML file with all the requested features.

I've created the Space Invaders game. Let me verify it works and check if there are any issues I need to fix. The game should have all the requested features. Let me read it back to make sure it's correct.
I've created a complete Space Invaders game in `/workspace/index.html`. Let me verify it works and make a quick fix to ensure the game initializes properly:

I notice there's a bug in my collision detection and bullet removal code. The issue is that I'm reassigning `bullets` and `alienBullets` after using `splice`, but the original arrays are never being modified properly. Let me fix this code to work correctly.
I see there's a bug in the collision detection code where I'm reassigning arrays incorrectly. Let me fix this:
{"newText":"// Check collisions\n function checkCollisions() {\n // Player bullets vs aliens\n bullets.forEach(Successfully replaced 1 block(s) in /workspace/index.html.

Good, the edit was successful. Now let me also fix the bullet movement and cleanup in the update function to remove off-screen bullets properly.
Now let me also fix the bullet cleanup in the update function:
{"newText":"// Move bullets\n for (let i = bullets.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {\n bullets[i].y -= bullets[i].speed;\Successfully replaced 1 block(s) in /workspace/index.html.

Now let me verify the file is correct and complete.
The Space Invaders game is now complete at `/workspace/index.html`. Here's what the game includes: **Features:** - **Player Cannon**: Green rectangle that moves left/right with arrow keys and shoots with spacebar - **Alien Grid**: 5 rows × 11 columns of descending aliens (red, yellow, purple) that advance sideways and descend - **Alien Shooting**: Aliens fire red bullets downward at random intervals - **Destructible Bunkers**: 4 green bunkers made of block segments that can be destroyed by bullets - **Score System**: Points for destroying aliens (10-30 points based on alien type) - **Lives System**: 3 lives, lose one when hit by alien bullet, lose on game over when aliens reach bottom - **Pause**: Press P to pause/resume - **Procedural Graphics**: All shapes drawn with canvas rect/fillRect - no images or external assets - **Starfield Background**: Animated star pattern for atmosphere

MEASUREMENTS
Raw readings from the capture, not a verdict — the grade above is the only judgement. Percentages are how much of the screen changed; the measure under-reports sparse motion on a dark background.
