Browser arcade game (HTML canvas)

A complete small game loop: input, movement, collisions, score, and restart. No engine needed.

The promptPaste into Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Lovable, Bolt, Replit or v0

Make a browser game using plain JavaScript and the HTML canvas: [GAME IDEA, e.g. 'dodge falling asteroids'].

- Fixed-timestep game loop with requestAnimationFrame, so speed doesn't depend on frame rate.
- Keyboard and touch controls; pause on P and when the tab is hidden.
- Collision detection, score, increasing difficulty, game over + restart.
- High score saved in localStorage.
- Scales to any screen while keeping aspect ratio; crisp on high-DPI displays.
- Simple sound effects with the Web Audio API, muted by default with a toggle.
Keep it in one HTML file under 500 lines first; split into modules after it's fun.

Tips

Iterate on 'feel' with small prompts: 'make the jump snappier', 'add screen shake on hit'.

Works with: Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Replit, Lovable, Bolt, v0. Last reviewed 2026-11-13.
