Brick breaker · gemini-3.5-flash-lite
Using the pre-provided phaser.min.js (global Phaser), build a playable brick-breaker game with a paddle (arrow keys or mouse), a bouncing ball, and a wall of breakable bricks with a score. Use ONLY procedurally generated graphics via the Phaser Graphics API or generated textures — no external image or audio assets whatsoever.

**Defining Game Framework and Scope**
I'm now zeroing in on Phaser 3 as the foundation. My focus has shifted to designing a robust brick breaker, keeping an 800x600 canvas in mind, though responsiveness is still an option. I plan on standard arcade physics. The paddle will respond to both mouse/pointer and arrow key controls.
**Refining Ball and Brick Mechanics**
I'm now diving into the specifics: the ball launches on spacebar or click, obeying standard arcade physics. I'm imagining collision angle variations based on the paddle hit point. Bricks are multi-rowed, colored, and point-valued with potential power-ups like multiball, wider paddles, lasers, extra lives, and slow balls. I'm exploring procedural graphics with Phaser's Graphics objects.
**Adding Sound and Structure**
I'm now thinking about sound, planning on simple synthesized Web Audio beeps for effects; I want to avoid external files if I can. I'm focusing on HTML boilerplate, CSS styling with a dark retro arcade look, a centered canvas (either responsive or fixed 800x600, centered). My JavaScript/Phaser game structure includes config: Arcade physics, 800x600, physics gravity `{ y: 0 }`. Then I'm planning out `MenuScene` and `GameScene`.
**Defining Game Components**
I'm now fully immersed in the core gameplay elements. I plan on using `this.add.graphics()` and `generateTexture()` for all visual elements. I'm imagining an 8x5 or 8x6 brick grid with point values, paddle control with both pointer and keyboard, and a sticky ball until launch. Collision will be standard arcade, with paddle hit offsets for velocity adjustments, and brick break outcomes (score, power-up chance, win check). I'm planning for power-ups (Wide, Multi-ball, Laser/Extra Life, Slow Ball), a 3-life system, and particle effects for impact visuals. Finally, I'll have GameOver and Win scenes. I'll test building `index.html` with this in mind.

**Analyzing HTML Code** I've realized `node -c` won't parse HTML directly, so I'm shifting to extracting the JavaScript. The code looks like clean, standard JavaScript within `<script>` tags, making it a good candidate. I'm now cross-referencing this code against all prompt requirements, including the single-page web app structure and CSS within `<style>`.

I have successfully built and deployed **Neon Breakout**, a fully playable, feature-rich brick-breaker game written entirely into `index.html` using the local `phaser.min.js` library and 100% procedural graphics/audio. ### Features Included: - **Procedural Graphics**: All sprites (paddle, ball, bricks, power-ups, particles) are dynamically generated at runtime via the Phaser Graphics API (`generateTexture`) with a sleek neon arcade aesthetic. - **Synthesized Audio**: Built-in Web Audio API sound synthesizer for paddle hits, wall bounces, brick destruction, power-ups, and game over sounds (zero external assets). - **Smooth Controls**: Control the paddle via mouse/touch movement or Left/Right arrow keys. Press `Space` or click to launch the ball. - **Power-Ups**: Randomly dropping power-ups when breaking bricks: - 🟢 **Wide Paddle** (`W`) - 🟠 **Multi-Ball** (`M`) - 🔴 **Extra Life** (`+`) - **Progression & Scoring**: Score tracking, level progression (refilling bricks when cleared), lives system, and high score persistence via `localStorage`.

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.
