Build a first-person raycasting maze shooter on a canvas in the Wolfenstein 3D style: WASD movement and arrow or mouse turning through a textured grid maze with enemies you can shoot. Procedural textures only, no external assets.

Let me build a complete Wolfenstein 3D style raycasting maze shooter in a single self-contained HTML file. This needs to be feature-rich and impressive.

Key features to implement:
1. Raycasting engine with textured walls (procedurally generated)
2. First-person view with WASD movement
3. Mouse and arrow key turning
4. Enemies (sprites) that can be shot
5. Procedural textures (no external assets)
6. Grid-based maze
7. HUD with health, ammo, score
8. Minimap
9. Gun rendering
10. Sound effects (procedural via Web Audio API)

Let me plan the architecture:

**Raycasting:**
- DDA algorithm for ray-mesh intersection
- For each column, cast a ray, find wall distance
- Use distance to avoid fisheye (perpendicular distance)
- Sample procedural texture based on wall coordinates

**Textures (procedural):**
- Brick pattern with mortar lines
- Stone blocks with variation
- Metal/steel panels
- Wood planks
- Mossy stone
- Use canvas-generated textures cached as ImageData

**Sprites/Enemies:**
- Sort by distance
- 2D billboard rendering
- Procedural sprite animation (guard with body parts)

**Player:**
- Position (x, y)
- Direction (dx, dy) - normalized
- Camera plane perpendicular to direction
- Health, ammo, score

**Maze:**
- 2D grid of cells (1=wall, 0=empty)
- Use a recursive maze generator or fixed design
- Different wall types for variety

**Rendering:**
- Floor and ceiling (gradient or textured)
- Wall columns with texture
- Sprites with z-buffer test
- HUD overlay
- Crosshair
- Gun with muzzle flash animation

**Controls:**
- W/S: forward/back
- A/D: strafe
- Arrow keys: turn
- Mouse: look around (pointer lock)
- Click: shoot

**Game systems:**
- Enemy AI (move toward player, attack when close)
- Collision detection
- Projectile hit detection
- Damage/health system
- Win/lose conditions

Let me start building this. I'll aim for ~1000+ lines of well-organized code.

Let me think about texture generation. I'll use offscreen canvases:

```js
function makeBrickTexture(size=64) {
  const c = document.createElement('canvas');
  c.width = c.height = size;
  const ctx = c.getContext('2d');
  // brick pattern
  ...
  return c;
}
```

For sprites, I'll generate the guard texture using canvas drawing.

Let me write the full code now. I want this to feel polished.

Plan for the HTML structure:
- Single canvas for the 3D view
- Small canvas for minimap
- HUD elements overlaid via DOM or another canvas
- Pointer lock for mouse

I'll use a single canvas for everything for simplicity and performance.

Let me code this carefully:

```js
const SCREEN_W = 800;
const SCREEN_H = 500;
const TEX_SIZE = 64;
const NUM_TEXTURES = 8;
```

Maze: 24x24 grid with walls = 1, empty = 0. Use a maze generator.

Actually, let me design the maze with specific patterns for good gameplay - corridors and rooms.

Let me use a fixed maze for predictable gameplay. Or generate using a seedable random.

Procedural maze via recursive backtracker:
```js
function generateMaze(width, height, seed) {
  // Use seeded random
  const rng = mulberry32(seed);
  // ... 
}
```

Mulberry32:
```js
function mulberry32(a) {
  return function() {
    a |= 0; a = a + 0x6D2B79F5 | 0;
    let t = a;
    t = Math.imul(t ^ t >>> 15, t | 1);
    t ^= t + Math.imul(t ^ t >>> 7, t | 61);
    return ((t ^ t >>> 14) >>> 0) / 4294967296;
  }
}
```

For raycasting DDA:
```js
function castRay(map, x, y, dirX, dirY) {
  const mapX = Math.floor(x);
  const mapY = Math.floor(y);
  const deltaDistX = Math.abs(1 / dirX);
  const deltaDistY = Math.abs(1 / dirY);
  // ...
}
```

I'll need to be careful with the implementation. Let me write the complete thing.

Let me think about wall texture sampling. When a wall is hit:
- Determine which side was hit (NS or EW)
- Compute exact hit position (perpendicular wall coord)
- Convert to texture coordinate (x in [0, TEX_SIZE))
- Apply shading based on side (EW vs NS) and distance

For floor/ceiling casting, I could do it but for simplicity let me use flat colors with distance shading.

Actually, I can use vertical strip based raycasting for floor too:
```js
for (let y = h/2 + 1; y < h; y++) {
  // ray direction for floor pixel
  // ...
}
```

Let me keep it simple but effective. Color gradient for sky/ceiling, and a flat-ish floor.

Sprites:
For each enemy (sorted far to near):
- Project to screen using player camera
- Calculate screen X position
- Calculate sprite size based on distance
- Draw columns with texture

Sprite texture: 64x64 procedural guard image.

Let me also add:
- Footstep sounds (procedural noise bursts)
- Gunshot sounds (noise + decay)
- Enemy hurt/death sounds
- Use Web Audio API

Let me start writing. I'll make it polished and substantial.

Let me flesh this out into a complete, polished implementation. I want to make it really good.

Procedural texture ideas:
1. Red brick
2. Gray stone
3. Blue metal panel
4. Wood plank
5. Mossy brick
6. Yellow stone with grime
7. Steel grating
8. Rusty metal

Sprite:
- Enemy guard with green uniform, head, gun
- Multiple animation frames

Items:
- Health pack (red cross)
- Ammo box (yellow)
- These are collectible sprites

Let me write the full implementation now. I'll aim for a complete, working game.

For maze generation, I'll use a hand-crafted maze for good gameplay:

Actually, let me use a procedural maze generator with a good seed. The recursive backtracker creates nice mazes but can have long winding paths. I'll create a maze with rooms by placing rooms first, then connecting with corridors.

For simplicity, let me use a fixed map I design by hand for guaranteed fun gameplay. About 20x20 with various corridors and rooms.

```
const MAP = [
  "11111111111111111111",
  "10000010000001000001",
  "10110010111101011001",
  "10010010000001001001",
  "10010111101111001001",
  "10010000000000001001",
  "11110110101011011111",
  "10000100001010000001",
  "10111010111010101101",
  "10000010000000000001",
  "11110111101110111101",
  "10000100001010000001",
  "10110101111010110111",
  "10100100001000100001",
  "10001111101011110101",
  "10000000001000000101",
  "11111111001111110101",
  "10000001000000000101",
  "10000001111111111111",
  "11111111111111111111"
];
```

This is just an example. I'll design something playable.

Let me also think about performance. The canvas will be 800x500. 800 raycasts per frame. Each ray does a DDA traversal. For 500 height, the floor casting adds work but it's simple. Enemies are sorted each frame but with limited count (< 20) it's fine.

I'll target 60fps. Should be doable.

Let me also add:
- Firing animation (gun bobs up and back)
- Muzzle flash
- Reload animation
- Death screen
- Win screen

OK let me write this. I'll write it all in one big write call.

Actually, let me first check that there's nothing in /workspace.

I'll build a complete Wolfenstein 3D-style raycasting maze shooter in a single self-contained HTML file. Let me first check the workspace.
