Console errors
Caught in the first 3 seconds after load, in a sandboxed iframe like the one above.
Cannot access 'brickGap' before initialization
What it was asked
The prompt
Build a polished Breakout (brick breaker) game in a single HTML file using vanilla JavaScript and a <canvas>. Requirements: - A paddle controlled with the mouse and with the left/right arrow keys. - The bounce angle off the paddle depends on where the ball hits it (center = straight up, edges = sharp angle). - One level with at least 6 rows of bricks, mixing normal bricks and tougher bricks that need 2 hits and visibly crack after the first one. - Some bricks visibly carry a power-up icon; when broken they drop it, and catching it with the paddle gives either a wider paddle (10 seconds) or multi-ball (3 balls). - The ball must never pass through bricks or the paddle. - Particles when a brick breaks. - 3 lives, score displayed. Game over and victory screens with a restart option.
System prompt, sent with every prompt
You are generating a self-contained web demo. It will be rendered automatically in a sandboxed iframe and compared side by side with the output of other AI models given the exact same task. Output rules: - Reply with exactly ONE fenced code block containing the complete file: ```html (or ```svg when the task asks for an SVG). No text before or after the code block. - Everything must be inline: CSS in <style>, JavaScript in <script>. No external files, images, fonts or network requests, except the CDN URLs explicitly allowed by the task. - Do not use localStorage, sessionStorage, cookies, IndexedDB, alert(), confirm(), prompt() or window.open(): they are blocked in the sandbox and will throw. - The page must look right in a 1280×800 viewport and adapt gracefully down to 375px wide. No horizontal scrollbar. - Something meaningful must be visible on first paint: a screenshot is taken automatically about 3 seconds after load, without any interaction. - Everything that makes the demo interesting must be visible within the first seconds: nothing hidden behind a high score, a later level or a long play session. - Games must start in a self-playing demo mode (a simple AI plays) behind a "Click or press a key to start" message, so the game can be judged in action without playing. - The iframe only receives keyboard events after the user clicks it: if the demo uses the keyboard, display a clear "Click or press a key to start" message. - The code must run with zero errors in the console of the latest Chrome.
