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.

Reasoning trace (68,746 tokens)
Let me plan a polished Breakout game in a single HTML file.

Key requirements:
1. Canvas-based breakout
2. Paddle: mouse + arrow keys
3. Bounce angle depends on hit position on paddle
4. 6+ rows of bricks, mix of normal (1 hit) and tough (2 hits, crack after first)
5. Power-up bricks with visible icons; drop power-up when broken; catching gives wide paddle (10s) or multiball (3 balls)
6. Ball never passes through bricks or paddle (solid collision detection with proper resolution)
7. Particles on brick break
8. 3 lives, score, game over/victory screens with restart
9. Self-playing demo mode behind "Click or press a key to start" message
10. No console errors, 1280×800 viewport, responsive down to 375px, no horizontal scrollbar
11. Something visible on first paint (screenshot ~3s after load)

Let me design this carefully.

**Visual design:** I want it to look polished — a dark, neon-ish arcade aesthetic but tasteful. Let me go with a deep dark background (near-black with subtle vignette), bricks with a nice color palette per row, subtle inner highlights, glowing ball with trail, paddle with gradient, particles with glow, screen shake on brick break maybe subtle. HUD at top with score, lives (drawn as small balls), level name, active power-up indicators with countdown bars.

Font: use a monospace stack but styled, or maybe I can use a Google Font via CDN? The rules say "No external files, images, fonts or network requests, except the CDN URLs explicitly allowed by the task." The task doesn't explicitly allow CDN URLs, so I should not use Google Fonts. I'll use a font stack like `"Courier New", monospace` styled nicely, or system fonts. Actually for arcade feel, monospace works. I can also draw text on canvas with letter-spacing manually. Let me use a stack: `'Menlo', 'Consolas', 'Courier New', monospace` for HUD, and for headings maybe the same with bold and letter-spacing. Actually let me create a nice look with uppercase, letter-spacing, and use the canvas for the game, HTML for HUD/overlays.

Layout: Center the game area. Canvas with fixed logical size (e.g., 900×640 or so), scaled responsively via CSS while maintaining aspect ratio. Handle devicePixelRatio for crispness.

Let me pick canvas logical dimensions: W=960, H=660? Let's think: 1280×800 viewport. HUD ~48px top. Game canvas should fit. Let's do a page layout: header bar with title + HUD stats, then canvas below, all centered. Canvas logical: 900 × 620. At 1280 wide, displayed at maybe 900 CSS px wide, 620 tall + header ~ fits in 800 height? 800 - header(~70) - margins... tight. Let me compute: I'll make the canvas scale to fit available space both width and height using CSS `max-width` and `max-height` with aspect-ratio.

Better approach: canvas element with `width=900 height=620` attributes (logical), CSS: `width: min(92vw, calc((100vh - 130px) * (900/620)))` hmm complicated. Simpler: wrap in a container that uses aspect-ratio and max sizes:

```css
.stage {
  position: relative;
  width: min(920px, 94vw, (100vh - 140px) * 1.45);
  aspect-ratio: 900 / 620;
}
canvas { width: 100%; height: 100%; display: block; }
```

`min()` with different units works in CSS. (100vh - 140px) * 1.45 — need calc inside min: `min(920px, 94vw, calc((100vh - 150px) * 1.4516))`. That's valid.

For 1280×800: 100vh-150 = 650, *1.4516 ≈ 943 → min(920, 1203, 943) = 920. Height = 920/1.4516 ≈ 634. Plus header ~70 + margins ~ 20 → ~724 total. Fits in 800. Good.

For 375px wide: min(920, 352, ...) = 352 wide, 243 tall. Small but okay. Game still playable. HUD must wrap gracefully. I'll put HUD above canvas in a flex row that wraps.

Actually maybe put HUD inside canvas? That could be cleaner and scale automatically. Hmm, but HTML HUD with nice typography is easier. Let me do HTML HUD above the canvas: Score | Lives | Power-up status. And overlays (start demo message, game over, victory, paused) as absolutely-positioned HTML over the canvas.

**Game logic details:**

Logical canvas: W=900, H=620.

Bricks: 12 columns × 7 rows? Brick area: left margin 30, right margin 30, so brick field width 840. 12 cols → each 70 wide, gap 6 → brickW = (840 - 11*6)/12 = (840-66)/12 = 774/12 = 64.5. Hmm let me use 14 cols: (840 - 13*6)/14 = (840-78)/14 = 762/14 = 54.43. Maybe simpler: cols=12, gap=6, brickW=64.5, brickH=24, gap rows 6, starting y=70.

Actually let's compute cleanly: field margin x=24 each side → 852 width. cols=12, gap=6: total gaps 66, brickW = (852-66)/12 = 786/12 = 65.5. Fine, non-integer is fine with canvas.

Rows: 7 rows (requirement: at least 6). Row colors: gradient palette from top (hot) to bottom (cool), e.g.:
- Row 0: #ff5c5c (red)
- Row 1: #ff9f43 (orange)
- Row 2: #ffd93d (yellow)
- Row 3: #6bcb77 (green)
- Row 4: #4d96ff (blue)
- Row 5: #9b5de5 (purple)
- Row 6: #f15bb5 (pink)

Tough bricks (2 hits): place pattern — maybe every brick in rows 0-1 is tough? Or a checker/pattern. Let's do: rows 0 and 1 fully tough (steel-ish look with different color scheme), plus scattered tough in middle. Actually the requirement says "mixing normal bricks and tougher bricks that need 2 hits and visibly crack after the first one". Let me design a pattern:

- Row 0: all tough (color: slate/steel)
- Rows 1-2: normal with a few tough
- Rows 3-5: normal
- Row 6: tough-ish pattern?

Alternatively, tougher bricks have a distinct look — metallic with rivets, and after first hit show cracks (draw crack lines) and darker color. Let me generate a pattern function: tough if (row + col) % 5 === 0 for rows >= 2, rows 0-1 all tough. Hmm.

Let me define the layout more artistically — maybe a pattern that spells something or forms a shape? Keep it simple: 

```
row 0: T T T T T T T T T T T T  (steel)
row 1: N N T N N T N N T N N T  
row 2: N T N N N N N N N N T N
row 3: N N N T N N N T N N N N
row 4: N N N N N N N N N N N N
row 5: N N T N N N N N N T N N
row 6: N N N N N T N N N N N N  ... 
```

Hmm that's random-looking. Let me do: tough bricks form diagonal accents. Simpler deterministic: `isTough = (r === 0) || ((r + c) % 7 === 3)` maybe. I'll just craft it: rows 0-1 steel tough alternating pattern, and a diamond of tough bricks in the middle. Actually let me do:

- Row 0: all tough (steel gray-blue)
- Row 1: tough at columns where c%4===1
- Row 3: tough at c===5,6 (center pair)
- Row 5: tough at c%4===2

And everything else normal. Power-up bricks: choose ~8 bricks scattered (deterministic positions) marked with an icon: "W" for wide paddle, "M" for multiball. Draw icon on the brick (a small glyph). When such brick is broken, it spawns a falling power-up capsule with the icon.

Power-up types:
- WIDE: paddle width 1.5× for 10 seconds, with countdown bar shown.
- MULTI: spawn 2 extra balls (total 3 balls) — "3 balls" per requirement. When caught, add balls (up to 3 active). If already 3, maybe grant points instead or just refresh. I'll cap at 3 and give bonus points if already max.

Scoring: normal brick 50, tough brick first hit 20, destroy 100? Let's say: normal brick destroyed = 50; tough brick hit (crack) = 25, destroyed = 75. Power-up brick destroyed = 100. Catch power-up = 150. Multi-ball doesn't reduce score.

Lives: 3, shown as small ball icons. Losing a ball: when balls count hits 0, lose a life, reset ball on paddle, brief "serve" state (ball stuck to paddle, launch on click/space or auto after delay). In demo mode, auto-launch.

**Ball physics:**

Ball radius 8. Speed: base ~ 360 px/s? Let me use per-frame with dt. Speed increases slightly over time or per bricks broken (classic). I'll ramp speed: starts 340, +8 per brick broken, cap 560.

Paddle bounce: relative hit position `t = (ballX - paddleX)/ (paddleW/2)` clamped [-1,1]. Angle from vertical: `angle = t * maxAngle` where maxAngle = 60° (i.e., 1.047 rad). New velocity: `vx = speed * sin(angle)`, `vy = -speed * cos(angle)`. This guarantees upward motion and angle depends on hit position. Also enforce minimum |vy| generally to avoid near-horizontal stalemates? The paddle formula guarantees vy at least cos(60°)=0.5*speed. Wall bounces could create horizontal-ish trajectories from brick side hits; I'll clamp |vy| >= 0.25*speed after any bounce... Actually careful: clamping vy after side-wall bounce changes speed direction. Let me just ensure after wall bounce that |vy| isn't too small by nudging: if |vy| < 0.18*speed, set vy to sign(vy||1)*0.18*speed and renormalize to keep speed. This prevents infinite horizontal loops.

**Collision solidity (never pass through):**

This is a called-out requirement — I should implement robust collision. Approach:
1. Move ball in small sub-steps (continuous stepping): divide movement into steps of at most ball radius (or less) each, and at each sub-step check collisions. With speed max 560 px/s and dt capped at 1/30 s (also cap dt to avoid tunneling on tab-switch), max move per frame ≈ 18.7 px. Ball radius 8, brick height 24 — sub-stepping with step ≤ 6px gives ~4 substeps. That's safe.
2. For each substep, move, then resolve: check paddle, walls, bricks. For bricks, find overlapping brick(s); determine collision normal by comparing penetration depths or using previous position. Use swept approach: compute which side the ball came from by comparing the ball's previous position to the brick bounds; reflect appropriate axis, and reposition ball outside the brick to prevent sticking/pass-through.

Standard robust method per substep:
```
prevX, prevY; x += dx; y += dy;
for brick in grid cells overlapping ball circle:
  if circleRectCollide(x,y,r, brick):
     // determine axis via prev position center
     if prevY <= brick.top - r or prevY >= brick.bottom + r? 
```
Better: use the standard "closest point" method to get penetration vector, then resolve along minimal axis, and reflect velocity along that axis. Combined with sub-stepping (step ≤ r/2 = 4px), penetration is small and resolution is accurate; ball never tunnels.

Actually a cleaner classic approach: compute overlap on x and y axes between ball bounding box and brick rect:
```
overlapX = (r + brick.w/2) - abs(x - brickCx)
overlapY = (r + brick.h/2) - abs(y - brickCy)
if overlapX > 0 && overlapY > 0: collision
if overlapX < overlapY: resolve on x (hit side), vx = -vx, x += sign(x - brickCx)*overlapX
else: resolve on y, vy = -vy, y += sign(y - brickCy)*overlapY
```
This is the AABB-minimal-translation approach; treats ball as a box of size 2r but it's fine and rock solid against tunneling when sub-stepped. With substeps ≤ 4px, and brick gaps 6px... hmm, gaps of 6px between bricks with ball diameter 16: ball can't fit between bricks, will collide with both — fine, handle each collision; maybe hit two bricks in one substep — process both, but reflect once per axis. I should only allow one brick hit per substep per... actually classic breakout lets ball destroy multiple bricks. To keep it simple and fair: in a substep, find all colliding bricks, but only damage the one with greatest overlap and reflect based on it? Hmm, if ball hits corner between two bricks... Let me just handle: collect colliding bricks, sort by overlap area, resolve against the first (largest overlap), and damage only that brick per substep. Since substeps are small, subsequent substeps handle neighbors if still overlapping. But reflecting off one brick might still overlap another... after resolution reposition, likely fine. Actually, damaging only one brick per substep could cause the ball to bounce off a brick, then next substep still overlapping neighbor, bounce again — creates multi-hit which is fine visually.

Alternatively damage all colliding bricks in the substep but only reflect once per axis. Classic breakout often damages each brick the ball touches. I'll damage all overlapped bricks in the same substep (that's more satisfying, ball plows), but reflect velocity per-axis at most once each. Hmm, but "ball must never pass through bricks" — substep handles that.

Let me simplify: per substep, iterate colliding bricks; for each, resolve position & reflect (the reflection might happen twice if two bricks on opposite sides — unlikely). I'll implement: find first collision (nearest by overlap), resolve it, reflect, damage brick, then `break` out of brick loop for that substep (continue substeps). That's the most physically sensible. Ball hitting seam between two bricks side-by-side horizontally: minimal axis will be Y (top/bottom) typically since bricks are wide and flat — resolve vertical, damage one brick. Good.

Edge case: ball trapped inside brick (spawned overlapping) — resolution pushes it out along min axis. Fine.

Paddle collision: similar AABB approach, but paddle only reflects when ball is moving downward and ball's bottom is above paddle's... Standard: if ball moving down and circle intersects paddle rect → compute t (hit position), set angle. Also reposition ball above paddle: `y = paddleTop - r`. Sub-stepping ensures no tunneling through paddle (step ≤ 4px < paddleH=14... hmm paddle height ~14px, ball moves ≤4px per substep, so it can't jump past a 14px paddle plus ball radius 8 → total 22px barrier; safe).

Also handle ball hitting paddle sides: with the angle formula, even side hits get reflected upward at sharp angle — that's the classic behavior and acceptable ("bounce angle depends on where it hits — edges = sharp angle"). Good, requirement explicitly wants edges = sharp angle, so side-ish hits giving max angle is desired. I'll require ball center within paddle x-range extended by r for the reflection to trigger; otherwise it passes (and if it misses, ball is lost when below bottom).

Walls: left/right/top bounce with reposition. Bottom: ball removed; if no balls left → life lost.

**Power-ups:**

Capsule: rounded rect 34×20 falling at 120 px/s with slight sway (sin wobble) and icon letter. Catch when overlapping paddle rect → apply effect + particles + toast message ("PADDLE EXTENDED!" / "MULTIBALL!"). If missed, remove at bottom.

Wide: `wideUntil = now + 10s`, paddle width lerps to wideWidth smoothly (animate width for polish). Show countdown ring/bar in HUD.

Multiball: for each existing ball (up to making total 3), spawn 2 new balls from the position of a random existing ball with velocity at ±25° from it. If ball count already 3 → +250 points bonus instead? Or still give points. Let me: if balls.length >= 3, award 300 points and show "MULTIBALL READY +300". Actually simpler: always set to 3 balls: while balls.length < 3, clone from balls[0] with rotated velocity. If already 3, bonus points.

**Particles:**

On brick break: spawn ~14 particles at brick center with brick color, random velocities, gravity, fade + shrink, additive glow maybe. Also small spark particles on paddle hit and wall hits (subtle). Screen shake: tiny 3px shake on brick break, bigger on life lost. Keep subtle.

Ball trail: keep last N positions, draw fading circles — looks great with glow.

**Demo mode (auto-play AI):**

Behind a "Click or press a key to start" overlay. The game runs with an AI controlling the paddle: AI target x = predicted ball landing x (simple: track the lowest ball moving downward, target its x + vx/vy * time-to-paddle... or simpler: target current x of nearest descending ball with slight lead). Add imperfection: AI has max speed and slight error so it occasionally misses? For judging, AI should look competent but the game must also progress. Since it's a demo behind overlay, it should look good: AI tracks ball well but with capped paddle speed (like 420 px/s) so it's not perfect.

Demo considerations: infinite lives in demo (lives reset), and when demo ends (game over or victory), just restart demo silently. Actually overlay covers with message; game visible behind with translucent overlay so screenshot shows the game in action with the message. The overlay should be semi-transparent dark with the title, "Click or press a key to start", and maybe controls hint. The screenshot at 3s will show: HUD, bricks, ball bouncing, AI paddle, overlay message. 

On first user interaction (click or keydown): overlay hides, game restarts fresh (score 0, lives 3) with ball on paddle in serve state — or should the demo state carry over? Cleaner: start a fresh game on interaction. Then "Click or press a key to start" — also serve launch: ball launches automatically after 1s or on click/space. Let me make serve auto-launch after ~1.2s countdown so the player doesn't get stuck (also mobile-friendly). Show "GET READY" text during serve.

After game over/victory (in play mode): overlay with score, "RESTART" button + "press R / click". Clicking anywhere restarts? Better a real button plus key R. Let's do: overlay panel with title (GAME OVER / YOU WIN), final score, bricks cleared stat, and a "PLAY AGAIN" button. Also pressing Enter/Space/click on panel restarts. Keep it simple: whole overlay clickable + button.

**Controls:**

- Mouse move over canvas → paddle x (mapped via bounding rect scale). Also touch for mobile.
- Arrow keys Left/Right → paddle velocity 520 px/s (keys override... blend: track both; if keys pressed use keys, mouse sets target directly). Implementation: `paddle.x` is center; mousemove sets `paddle.targetX` and a flag `mouseActive`; each frame if left/right key held, move by key speed and set targetX = current (so mouse doesn't fight). When mouse moves again, update target. Paddle follows targetX with fast lerp or direct set with clamp. Direct set on mousemove feels best: on mousemove event set paddle.x immediately (clamped). Keys: in update, if key held, paddle.x += dir*speed*dt, clamp.
- Space: launch ball / pause? Space = launch serve ball. P = pause. R = restart.

Keyboard events: attach to window; since iframe needs click first, that's handled by "click or press key to start" flow.

**Pause:** When tab hidden or dt large, clamp dt. Add explicit pause on 'P' and when pointer leaves? Not necessary. I'll add P pause with overlay. Keep dt clamp at 40ms.

**Rendering polish:**

- Background: dark navy `#0b0e1a` with subtle radial vignette + faint grid or scanlines? Let me add: subtle starfield/dots drifting very slowly for ambiance (cheap, pretty). Or a faint diagonal gradient. I'll draw a static gradient + vignette cached, plus very subtle animated "nebula" — keep it simple: static gradient background + soft glow under bricks row area? Static is safer perf-wise. Maybe faint slow-moving dots (30 stars, parallax) — cheap and adds life.

- Bricks: each drawn as rounded rect with vertical gradient (lighter top), 1px inner highlight top edge, subtle bottom shadow. Tough bricks: metallic look (steel blue-gray gradient + rivet dots at corners + border). Cracked state: overlay crack lines (predefined jagged path per brick using seeded random) + darker tint + reduced highlight. Power-up bricks: icon glyph centered — for wide: "↔" arrows; for multi: three dots "⁂" or draw three small circles. I'll draw custom icons with canvas paths (not text) for crispness: WIDE = two outward arrows "◄►", MULTI = three small circles triangle. Plus a subtle pulsing brightness on power-up bricks to draw attention.

- Ball: white core with glow (shadowBlur), colored trail.
- Paddle: rounded rect, gradient (cyan), glow, with center notch marker; when wide active, color shifts to gold/green with animated edge shine; a thin bright top edge.
- Power-up capsules: rounded pill with icon, slight bobbing, glow, trailing sparkle.
- HUD (HTML): Score with tabular numbers, High score? (localStorage banned — so no high score persistence; keep session best in variable — that's fine, not storage). Actually "session best" in a JS variable is allowed (not localStorage). I'll track best score in memory this page load. Display: SCORE, BEST, LIVES (dots), and power-up status chip with countdown bar.
- Screen shake: translate canvas by decaying random offset.
- Flash effect on life lost: red vignette pulse.

**Level design:** one level as required. 12 cols × 7 rows. Wait — "at least 6 rows". 7 rows good.

Top area of canvas: leave ~10px top margin, bricks start at y=60 maybe, leaving room inside canvas for... HUD is HTML so canvas top can be small margin. Let me put a thin in-canvas top area where the power-up status could also show... no, HUD in HTML.

Canvas H=620: bricks rows 7 × (24+6) = 210, starting at y=48 → ends 258. Paddle y around 585. Ball spawn above paddle.

Brick field: marginX = 26, available = 900-52 = 848, cols=12, gap=6 → brickW=(848-66)/12=65.17. brickH=24, rowGap=6.

Hmm, 12 columns might make bricks small-ish (65×24) — fine, looks like classic breakout.

Actually, let me reconsider canvas width: 900 is good.

**Tough brick pattern & colors:**

Let me write the layout as a string map for clarity and design control:

```
const LEVEL = [
  "TTTTTTTTTTTT",
  "NNTNNNTNNNTN" ... 
```
Design 7 rows × 12 cols. Let me craft:

Row 0 (top, steel): `TTTTTTTTTTTT` — all tough.
Row 1: `N w N N N m N N N N w N`? I need markers for power-ups too. Let me use chars: `.` normal, `#` tough, `W` normal w/ wide powerup, `M` normal w/ multi powerup, `w` tough w/ wide, `m` tough w/ multi. 

Design (7 rows):
```
row0: "############"
row1: "W..#..M..#..W"  -> 13 chars, careful. 
```
12 cols exactly. Let me design:

```
r0: # # # # # # # # # # # #      "############"
r1: . . W . . # . . . M . .      "..W..#...M.."
r2: . # . . m . . . W . # .      ".#..m...W.#."
r3: . . . # . . M . . # . .      "...#..M..#.."
r4: . W . . . # . . . . w .      ".W...#....w."
r5: . . . M . . . # . . . .      "...M...#...."
r6: . . # . . . W . . m . .      "..#...W..m.."
```

Count power-ups: W at r1c2, r2c7, r4c1, r6c6 → 4 wide; M at r1c9, r3c6, r5c3, r6c9 → 4 multi. Total 8 power-up bricks — good density. Tough: row0 (12) + r1c5, r2c1, r2c10, r3c3, r3c9, r4c5, r5c7, r6c2 → 20 tough bricks. Total bricks = 84.

Points: normal=50, tough destroy=120 (crack hit=30), powerup brick=80. Sum roughly: 64 normal+pu... whatever.

Row colors for normal bricks by row; tough bricks get steel color regardless of row? Or tinted steel per row? I think tough bricks should be visually distinct: uniform "steel" look (e.g., gradient #8a93a6 → #5c6478) with rivets, while normal bricks use row colors. But then row 0 all steel looks like a distinct shield row — nice design: "armored top row". Good.

Power-up bricks: normal colored but with icon and a subtle golden ring/pulse. If a power-up brick were tough... my map only puts powerups on normal bricks (`W`,`M`) except lowercase `w`,`m` at r4c10 (w tough wide) and r6c9 (m tough multi). Tough + powerup = drops after 2 hits. That's a nice mix. Icons drawn on both.

**Crack rendering:** Precompute per tough brick a crack seed. When hp goes 2→1, draw cracks: 2-3 jagged polylines from impact point-ish (use deterministic seeded lines from center outward) in dark color, plus chip off the highlight. Simplest good-looking: draw 3 jagged lines radiating from brick center with seeded randomness, plus make the fill darker/desaturated. Also small "damage" particles on crack hit (fewer than break).

**Seeded random:** simple mulberry32 or just use brick index-based pseudo random via `Math.sin(idx*999)` hack. I'll write a tiny seeded RNG: `function srand(s){return ()=>{s=(s*9301+49297)%233280; return s/233280}}`.

**Structure of code:**

- Constants
- State: game { mode: 'demo' | 'serve' | 'play' | 'over' | 'win' | 'paused'? , score, lives, balls[], bricks[], powerups[], particles[], effects (shake, flashes), paddle, timers }
- HTML: header HUD, stage with canvas + overlays (start overlay, endgame overlay, pause overlay, toast messages).
- Main loop with requestAnimationFrame, dt clamp.
- Input handlers.
- Demo AI.
- UI sync (update HUD DOM only when values change).

Let me think about the state machine:

- `phase`: 'demo' (AI plays, overlay visible), 'serve' (ball on paddle, countdown to launch — used in real game after start & after life loss), 'play', 'over', 'win', also 'paused' flag separate.

Flow:
1. Load → init game in demo: full bricks, lives infinite-ish (on life lost in demo, just respawn silently, keep score? reset score to keep it looking like a fresh game? I'll keep score accumulating — looks alive). Start overlay visible: big title "NEON BRICKS"? Title of game... Let me name it something like "PRISMA BREAK" or "BRICKSTORM". I'll go with "NEONBRK"? Hmm. "BLOCKFALL"? Let me pick "NEO BREAKER" or "PRISM BREAK". I'll use **"PRISMA"**? Let me just go with **"NEON BREAKER"** — clear arcade vibe. Overlay: title, subtitle "Click or press a key to start", small controls legend (mouse / ← → keys, Space launch, P pause).

2. User click/keydown anywhere → `startGame()`: hide start overlay, reset game (score 0, lives 3, rebuild bricks, clear stuff), phase='serve', serve attached to paddle, auto-launch after 1.1s (show countdown or "READY"). Also allow immediate launch with click/space.

3. Ball lost & no balls → lives--; if lives>0 → phase='serve' (respawn), red flash, shake; else phase='over' → show end overlay (GAME OVER, score, best, play again button).

4. All bricks destroyed → phase='win' → victory overlay with stats & confetti particles maybe. Add a nice touch: victory triggers big particle burst.

5. Restart via button/R key/Enter → reset to phase='serve' (fresh).

Pause: 'P' toggles paused (only in serve/play). Show small "PAUSED" overlay. Also auto-pause on blur? If document hidden, dt clamp handles it; but balls could be lost while hidden? rAF stops when hidden, so no.

In demo phase: if bricks cleared → instantly rebuild (demo continues). If lives run out → reset lives, continue. Keep it seamless.

**AI paddle logic:**

```
function demoControl(dt) {
  // choose target: ball with lowest y among those moving down; else ball with max y
  let target = null;
  for (b of balls) if (b.vy > 0 && (!target || b.y > target.y)) target = b;
  if (!target && balls.length) target = balls[0]; // or the lowest ball
  let tx;
  if (target) {
    // predict where it will cross paddle y
    const py = paddle.y - PADDLE_H/2... 
    time = (paddleTop - target.y) / target.vy  (if vy>0)
    tx = target.x + target.vx * time;
    // reflect off walls
    tx = reflect within [r, W-r] via folding
    // add deliberate small error
    tx += aiErr (recomputed occasionally, ±14px)
  } else tx = W/2;
  // move paddle toward tx at capped speed
  const maxV = 560; 
  dx = clamp(tx - paddle.x, -maxV*dt, maxV*dt); paddle.x += dx;
}
```
Wall reflection folding: `tx` could be outside; fold: 
```
let span = W - 2*ballR; let x = (tx - ballR) % (2*span); if (x<0) x+=2*span; if (x>span) x = 2*span - x; tx = x + ballR;
```
Good enough.

Also in demo, when serve state: AI centers and ball auto launches quickly (0.8s).

AI error: every time ball bounces off paddle, recompute `aiErr = (rand-0.5)*40` so occasionally it misses slightly → loses life → shows life-lost flow. But missing often might look bad. With error ±20 avg and paddle half-width ~55 (wide 82), it'll rarely miss. Fine — demo looks good, mostly hits.

Actually, should the demo catch power-ups? The AI targets the ball only. Power-ups falling would mostly be missed. That's fine — some get caught naturally. To make the demo show off power-ups, I can bias AI: if a power-up capsule is falling and no ball is urgent (all balls moving up), target the capsule. Nice touch: 

```
if no descending ball and powerups exist: target nearest capsule x.
```
That way demo catches power-ups sometimes → shows multiball & wide paddle effects in the first seconds. 

Also, to guarantee the demo shows a power-up early: power-up bricks at row1... ball takes a while to reach. It's fine.

Hmm — "Everything that makes the demo interesting must be visible within the first seconds" — the game itself (bricks, ball, paddle, particles) is visible immediately. Good. Maybe make the ball in demo start with a bit higher speed so action is lively: demo speed start 380.

**Serving in demo:** auto-launch after 0.7s.

**HUD DOM:**

```
<header>
  <div class="title">NEON BREAKER <span>v1</span></div>
  <div class="stats">
    <div class="stat"><label>SCORE</label><span id="score">0</span></div>
    <div class="stat"><label>BEST</label><span id="best">0</span></div>
    <div class="stat"><label>LIVES</label><span id="lives">●●●</span></div>
    <div class="stat pu" id="puChip">... hidden</div>
  </div>
</header>
```

Lives as three dot elements toggled with class. Power-up chip shows icon + label + shrinking time bar (update via rAF by setting width style — only when active).

Responsive: at <560px, title row wraps; stats shrink; use clamp() font sizes.

**Overlays:**

`.overlay` absolutely positioned inside `.stage` (which wraps canvas). Start overlay: centered card, translucent blur backdrop. End overlay similar. Both pointer-events handling: start overlay covers canvas — click on it starts game. End overlay has button.

Toast messages: small floating text inside canvas? I can draw toasts on canvas (rising fading text at event location) — nicer than DOM. E.g., "+50" score popups when brick breaks, "MULTIBALL!" text center. I'll implement canvas floating texts: `floaters.push({text, x, y, life, color})`.

**Score popups:** on brick break show "+50" small rising text. On powerup catch show "WIDE PADDLE!" etc.

**Canvas text font:** `bold 16px 'Courier New'` etc. For big overlay titles use HTML.

**DPR handling:** canvas.width = 900*dpr etc., ctx.setTransform(dpr,0,0,dpr,0,0). Cap dpr at 2. Also when CSS size changes we don't need to re-init since logical size fixed; but to keep crisp when CSS-scaled up beyond 900? We set fixed logical 900 and CSS scales it — if displayed at 920 CSS px it's slightly upscaled. I'll set canvas backing store to 900*dpr where dpr = min(devicePixelRatio,2) — since displayed size ≈ 900 max, that's crisp enough. Alternatively match backing to actual client size. Keep simple: fixed logical + dpr. Actually to be truly crisp, I can on resize set canvas.width = clientWidth*dpr and scale ctx by (clientWidth*dpr/900). Let me do that — a `resize()` that reads `canvas.getBoundingClientRect()` and sets transform scale factor `s = rect.width*dpr/900`. Then all drawing in logical 900×620 coordinates. 

But careful: drawing with scale means shadowBlur etc. scale too — fine.

I'll implement:
```
function resize(){
  const rect = canvas.getBoundingClientRect();
  const dpr = Math.min(window.devicePixelRatio||1, 2);
  canvas.width = Math.round(rect.width*dpr);
  canvas.height = Math.round(rect.height*dpr);
  scaleFactor = canvas.width / W; // uniform since aspect fixed by CSS
}
```
And in render: `ctx.setTransform(canvas.width/W, 0,0, canvas.height/H, 0,0)`.

Aspect ratio enforced by CSS aspect-ratio property so height matches.

**Mouse coordinate mapping:** `x = (e.clientX - rect.left) / rect.width * W`.

**Preventing text selection / touch scrolling:** `touch-action: none` on canvas; handle touchmove for paddle; also pointer events could unify — use Pointer Events (pointermove) which covers mouse+touch. `canvas.addEventListener('pointermove', ...)`. Set `touch-action:none`. Click to launch: pointerdown.

But careful: user needs to click to focus iframe for keys — that click also starts game (good).

**Key handling:** window keydown: ArrowLeft/Right set flags; also prevent default for arrows/space to avoid page scroll (page shouldn't scroll anyway). Space: if phase==='serve' → launch; if 'over'/'win' → restart; if 'demo' → start. 'p' pause toggle. 'r' restart (in play/over/win). Also any keydown in demo starts the game (requirement: "Click or press a key to start"). But careful: pressing 'p' in demo would start game then... I'll start game on any key except maybe F-keys; simplest: any keydown while phase==='demo' → startGame(). Requirement says press a key to start, so yes.

**Ball–paddle collision detail:**

Paddle rect: x center `paddle.x`, width `paddle.w` (animated between 110 and 165), height 16, top at `paddle.y` = H-46 (say paddle.y is top). Ball collide when moving down (`vy>0`) and ball bottom crosses paddle top and horizontal overlap with paddle extents + r*0.6? Standard: check circle vs rect. On hit:
```
const rel = clamp((ball.x - paddle.x) / (paddle.w/2), -1, 1);
const ang = rel * MAX_BOUNCE (60° = 1.047);
const sp = ballSpeed (current ball speed);
ball.vx = sp * Math.sin(ang);
ball.vy = -sp * Math.cos(ang);
ball.y = paddleTop - ball.r - 0.1;
```
Add slight speed increase per paddle hit? Usually per brick. I'll increase slightly per paddle hit too (+4, capped) to keep pace. Also spawn spark particles + paddle "flash" animation (paddle glow pulse). Paddle squash animation: paddle scaleY bounce — track `paddle.pulse = 1` decaying, draw with slight y-scale. Nice.

Edge case: ball hits paddle from side while moving down near edge — with circle-rect check and reposition to top, fine.

Also, ball could hit paddle when moving up (after multiball chaos) — ignore unless vy>0, but if ball is inside paddle region moving up it should pass (it's below? no...). If ball overlaps paddle while moving up, it means it came from below — rare (spawned?). Ignore.

**Brick collision loop per substep:**

```
for each substep:
  ball.x += sx; ball.y += sy;
  // walls
  if (ball.x < r) { ball.x = r; ball.vx = |vx|; wallFx }
  if (ball.x > W-r) { ... }
  if (ball.y < r) { ball.y = r; ball.vy = |vy| }
  // paddle
  if (ball.vy > 0) paddleCheck(ball)
  // bricks: compute grid cell range from ball pos
  check bricks in nearby cells → collide → resolve+damage → possibly break
```

Bricks stored in array + also grid map by (row,col) for quick lookup. With 84 bricks, brute force per substep per ball is 84*4*3 ≈ 1000 checks/frame — trivial. Brute force fine, but skip dead bricks early. OK brute force with `if (!b.alive) continue`.

Damage function:
```
function hitBrick(b, ball, hx, hy){
  b.hp--;
  if (b.hp <= 0) { b.alive = false; score += pts; particles; floater; maybe drop powerup; bricksLeft--; speed up ball; if bricksLeft===0 win }
  else { b.cracked = true; score += 25; small particles; }
}
```

Ball speed-up: global `ballSpeed` base + bricksDestroyed*3 capped. But each ball has own speed; on speed change, renormalize existing balls' velocities to new speed. Simpler: each ball stores speed; on brick break, increase global target and normalize all balls. Let me do: `game.speed` shared; balls' velocity direction kept, magnitude set to game.speed on each brick destroy (+3, cap 620). Hmm but multiball balls spawning copy speed anyway.

Actually careful — paddle bounce sets magnitude from `ball.sp` — I'll just always use `game.speed` for magnitude after events; but a slow/fast variety isn't needed. Shared speed simplifies. Start 360, +4 per brick, cap 540. Demo start 380.

Wait, min |vy| clamp after wall bounces to avoid horizontal loops: after any bounce, if |vy| < 0.15*speed → adjust: set vy to sign*(0.15*speed), then rescale vx to keep magnitude: vx = sign(vx)*sqrt(speed²-vy²). Apply only on wall bounces (paddle formula already ensures vy ≥ 0.5speed... cos(60°)=0.5). Brick bounces reflect vy sign so magnitude unchanged. Side-wall bounce flips vx, vy unchanged — trajectory could be near-horizontal if it arrived near-horizontal. When could it arrive near-horizontal? Only from paddle edge hits (max 60° from vertical → vy ≥ 0.5speed) or brick corner reflections... vy flip doesn't change |vy|; vx flip doesn't change |vy|. So |vy| ≥ ... hmm, brick side hits flip vx only; if ball was traveling with small vy (impossible initially)... Let me just add the clamp after wall bounces to be safe: ensures |vy| ≥ 0.18*speed always. Actually there's one more case: hitting the vertical side of a brick when ball has small vy — vy unchanged. But small vy can't arise since paddle guarantees ≥0.5·speed initially and flips preserve |vy|... Top wall bounce flips vy (preserves). So |vy| stays ≥ 0.5·speed·... no wait: brick TOP/BOTTOM hits flip vy (preserve magnitude). Side hits preserve vy. So |vy| is invariant ≥ 0.5·speed from paddle launch? Paddle launch: vy = -speed·cos(ang), ang ∈ [-60°,60°] → |vy| ≥ 0.5·speed. Yes! So no stalemate possible. I'll still add a safety clamp for robustness (cheap).

Hmm, one exception: serve launch angle randomized slightly — I'll launch at angle based on random ∈ [-20°,20°] — still fine.

**Ball trail:** each ball stores array of previous positions (length ~10). Draw as fading circles with ball color, small. Cheap.

**Particles:**

```
particles.push({x,y,vx,vy,life,maxLife,size,color,grav})
update: vy += grav*dt; x+=vx*dt...; life-=dt
draw: alpha = life/maxLife; circle size*alpha; with glow (shadowBlur small) — shadowBlur on many particles is expensive; use pre-rendered glow sprite? Simpler: draw twice (larger translucent + core). I'll draw core circle with globalAlpha; skip shadowBlur for perf, but add one bigger soft circle at 0.15 alpha. Looks decent.
```

Confetti on win: particles with rect shapes rotating? Keep circles with festive colors — fine, plus big burst count.

**Shake:** `shake = intensity`, decay `shake *= pow(0.001, dt)` style; offset = (rand-0.5)*shake. Apply via ctx.translate before drawing world, after background (or including background subtle). Apply to whole frame for simplicity.

**Flash:** red overlay alpha on life lost, decay.

**Paddle draw:**

Rounded rect w=dynamic, h=16, gradient: top `#7ef9ff` → bottom `#1899c9`? With wide mode: green/gold `#b8ff7a → #3fae4a`? Let me use cyan normal; wide = gold/amber to signal change; plus animated sheen line. Glow via shadowBlur cyan (one shape, cheap). Center notch: small darker slot marking center — helps aiming. Also side edge highlights.

Paddle width animation: `paddle.w += (targetW - paddle.w) * min(1, dt*10)`.

**HUD power-up chip:** when wide active: show "WIDE 8.4s" with progress bar. When multi active: multiball isn't timed (lasts until balls lost) — show "MULTIBALL ×3" chip while balls>1. I'll manage chips: wideChip with bar; multiChip static. Update in rAF, but only touch DOM when content changes... it's fine to update each frame (2 elements).

**Lives display:** 3 dots; lost ones become dim. Update on change.

**Best score:** in-memory; update when score exceeds; show in HUD & end screens.

**Fonts:** I'd like a distinctive arcade font but no external requests. System monospace with bold + letterspacing works. I could also fake a chunkier look using `font-weight:900` on a sans... Let me use a stack: `'Segoe UI', system-ui` for UI labels? Mixing: title in monospace bold uppercase with wide letter-spacing gives arcade-tech vibe. I'll use monospace for numbers/labels (tabular), and for the big title also monospace with heavy weight and letter-spacing, maybe with a subtle chromatic shadow (text-shadow cyan/red offset = glitchy neon). Tasteful.

Background page: very dark `#070912`, radial gradient subtle. Stage has border with glow: `border:1px solid rgba(120,140,255,.25)`, `box-shadow: 0 0 60px rgba(80,120,255,.15)`, rounded corners 12px, overflow hidden. Header above aligned to stage width — I'll wrap header+stage in a container with same width as stage. To make header width match stage, put them in a column flex where header width:100% of the column whose width is set by stage. Container `.frame { width: <same min()>; }` and stage inside is width:100%, aspect-ratio. 

Let me structure:

```
<body>
 <main class="frame">
   <header class="hud"> ... </header>
   <div class="stage">
     <canvas id="game"></canvas>
     <div class="overlay" id="startOverlay"> ... </div>
     <div class="overlay hidden" id="endOverlay"> ... </div>
     <div class="overlay hidden" id="pauseOverlay"> ... </div>
   </div>
   <footer class="help">← → or mouse · space launch · P pause · R restart</footer>
 </main>
</body>
```

`.frame { width: min(920px, 94vw, calc((100vh - 150px) * 1.4516)); }` and `.stage { aspect-ratio: 900/620; width: 100%; }`.

At 375px: frame = min(920, 352.5, ...) = 352.5. Header wraps: title + stats stack. Height: header maybe 90px + stage 243 + footer 30 = 363 < 800 tall (mobile portrait 375×667 typical) — fits, but requirement mentions 375 wide viewport; height unknown. `min` with vh term handles tall screens. On a 375×800: (800-150)*1.4516 = 943 → width 352. Fine.

Footer help text small, hide on very narrow? Keep, it wraps.

**Start overlay content:**

```
<div class="panel">
  <h1 class="glitch">NEON BREAKER</h1>
  <p class="tag">SMASH 84 BRICKS · CATCH POWER-UPS · SURVIVE</p>
  <div class="btn-hint">
    <span class="pulse-dot"></span> CLICK OR PRESS A KEY TO START
  </div>
  <div class="keys">
    <span>🖱 MOUSE / ← → MOVE</span> ... 
  </div>
</div>
```
No emoji! "No emojis anywhere in the UI" — that's from my design taste guidelines... The task didn't say but the general instruction list I hold: avoid emoji as icons. I'll avoid emojis; use text/CSS shapes. Keys legend: "MOUSE or ← → — move · SPACE — launch · P — pause". Arrow characters ← → are fine (not emoji).

Panel style: semi-transparent `rgba(10,14,26,.72)` with backdrop-filter blur(6px), border, but overlay covering whole stage with centered panel. To let the demo game be visible behind, panel should be compact and the overlay backdrop light: `background: rgba(7,9,18,.35)`. Panel centered, maybe lower-center so bricks visible? Bricks are top area, paddle bottom — panel center covers middle where ball flies — still visible around. I'll place panel slightly below center? Center is fine; ball action visible above/below panel edges.

Pulsing "CLICK OR PRESS ANY KEY" — animate opacity.

**End overlay:** panel with big text "GAME OVER" (red) or "LEVEL CLEARED" (green/gold), stats grid: SCORE, BEST, BRICKS SMASHED, then button "PLAY AGAIN" (real <button>, styled) + "press SPACE". Also new best badge if beat best.

**Victory bonus:** maybe +1000. Show.

Now let me also add a subtle in-canvas "READY" indicator during serve: text above paddle "LAUNCH IN 1.2s" or arrows. I'll draw ball on paddle and a shrinking aim line upward? Simple: pulsing text "SPACE / CLICK TO LAUNCH" above paddle + auto-launch countdown ring on ball. Keep it minimal: draw text + the ball sitting on paddle; auto-launch after 1.5s in play mode, 0.8s demo.

Hmm, if auto-launch, player may not need space. Good for mobile. Keep space/click as immediate launch.

**Pause behavior:** phase stays, `paused=true` stops updates but still renders (dimmed via overlay DOM). Only when phase is serve/play. Key 'p'/'P'. Also auto-pause on visibilitychange? rAF halts anyway; dt clamp prevents jumps. Fine without.

**Now, code layout — let me write it carefully.**

Constants:
```
const W=900, H=620;
const BRICK_COLS=12, BRICK_ROWS=7;
const BRICK_TOP=64, BRICK_H=24, GAP=6, SIDE=26;
const BRICK_W = (W - SIDE*2 - GAP*(BRICK_COLS-1)) / BRICK_COLS; // (900-52-66)/12 = 782/12 = 65.1667
const ROW_H = BRICK_H + GAP; // 30
const PADDLE_Y = H - 44; // top of paddle → 576
const PADDLE_H = 16;
const PADDLE_W = 112, PADDLE_W_WIDE = 176;
const BALL_R = 8;
const MAX_BOUNCE = Math.PI/3; // 60°
```

Brick bottom = 64 + 7*30 - 6 = 268. Space between bricks and paddle: 576-268 = 308 — plenty of play room. Good.

Level map (strings, 12 chars each):

```

Powerups: r1 W@c2, M@c9; r2 m@c4(tough multi), W@c8; r3 M@c6; r4 W@c1, w@c10(tough wide); r5 M@c3; r6 W@c6, m@c9(tough multi). Total: W:4, w:1, M:4, m:2... count: W(c2r1, c8r2, c1r4, c6r6)=4, w(c10r4)=1, M(c9r1, c6r3, c3r5)=3, m(c4r2, c9r6)=2. Total 10 powerup bricks. Maybe slightly many; 10 across 84 bricks ≈ 12% — fine, demo will show them. Multi vs wide: 5 wide, 5 multi. Nice.

Row colors (normal bricks):
```
const ROW_COLORS = [
  ['#ff6b6b','#c92a2a'],  // red (row0 is all steel though — colors only used for normal)
  ['#ffa94d','#d9480f'],  // orange
  ['#ffd43b','#f08c00'],  // yellow
  ['#69db7c','#2b8a3e'],  // green
  ['#4dabf7','#1864ab'],  // blue
  ['#b197fc','#7048e8'],  // violet
  ['#f783ac','#c2255c'],  // pink
];
```
(gradient top → bottom)

Steel tough colors: ['#aeb8cc','#5d6880'] with border '#8a94ab'. Cracked: darken (use lower brightness + cracks).

Hmm wait — design-wise, row 0 all steel creates a consistent "armored" top row. 

Points: normal 50; tough: crack 25 + destroy 100; power-up carrier: +50 extra. Let me: base points by type: normal 50, tough 120 (awarded on destroy) + 30 on crack. powerup adds nothing extra or +30. Simple: on destroy: `pts = b.tough ? 120 : 50; if (b.pu) pts += 30`. On crack: +30.

**Draw brick:**

```
function drawBrick(b){
  const g = ctx.createLinearGradient(0, b.y, 0, b.y+BRICK_H);
  if (b.tough) { steel gradient; } else { row gradient }
  if (b.cracked) darken by overlay rgba(0,0,0,.35)
  roundRect fill;
  // top inner highlight: fillRect(b.x+2, b.y+2, w-4, 3) rgba(255,255,255,.28)
  // tough: rivets: 4 small circles at corners rgba(255,255,255,.35) / dark
  // tough border: strokeRect
  // powerup icon: draw icon centered
  // cracked: draw crack lines
}
```

Per-frame gradients for 84 bricks: fine perf-wise? Creating 84 gradient objects per frame at 60fps = 5040/s — canvas can handle but let's cache: pre-render each brick style to offscreen canvas? Simpler: since bricks are static except crack state, cache per (rowColorIndex, tough, cracked, pu) combo... Or just create gradients once per brick at build time and store — gradients are tied to coordinates, bricks never move! I can create the gradient at build time per brick and reuse (createLinearGradient objects are reusable). Yes — store `b.grad`. Similarly crack lines precomputed on crack.

But wait — drawing with ctx transform for shake translation moves bricks, gradient coordinates are in the same transform at fill time — gradient created with coordinates in user space is interpreted at fill time under current transform? Actually canvas gradients are defined in user space at the time of *fill* — the gradient coordinates are transformed by the CTM at fill time. Since we translate for shake, gradient coords translate along — consistent. And when the overall scale (dpr) changes, still consistent. So storing gradients is safe. 

Simpler still: use two-stop gradients via cached per row (created each frame but only 7 steel+7 row = 14 objects) with `ctx.translate(0, b.y)` trick? Overkill. Store per-brick gradient at creation. Fine.

Actually simplest robust: build tiny offscreen sprites. Hmm, gradients stored per brick is easy enough. Let me do that.

Rounded rect helper (path). Radius 5. With gap 6 and radius 5 bricks look pill-ish; radius 4 nice.

**Icons on bricks (power-up):**

- WIDE: draw two chevrons pointing out: `◄ ►` shapes via paths, color dark on light brick? Icon should be visible on varied brick colors: draw white icon with dark outline, or dark navy icon with white halo. I'll draw icon in `rgba(10,12,24,.85)` (dark) with a subtle white ring behind: circle rgba(255,255,255,.25)? Let me draw a rounded "badge": small pill of rgba(255,255,255,.85) behind dark glyph → high contrast on any brick. Badge: rounded rect 30×16 white .9; glyph dark navy. Also a slow pulse: badge alpha oscillates 0.75+0.2*sin(t*3+i). Draw glyph:

  - WIDE glyph: line with arrowheads both sides: moveTo(cx-8,cy) line to cx+8,cy; arrow heads at ends (small triangles). 
  - MULTI glyph: three filled circles r=2.5 arranged triangle.

**Power-up capsule draw:** falling pill 36×22 rounded 11, colors: wide = amber (#ffb703 → #fb8500), multi = violet (#b197fc → #7950f2). Icon glyph dark navy inside. Glow: shadowBlur 12 color. Slight rotation wobble sin.

Icon inside capsule: same glyphs (arrows / three dots) in dark.

**Floating text:** `floaters.push({x,y,text,color,life:0.9,vy:-40})` draw with monospace bold, alpha fade.

**Life lost:** flash red vignette: draw radial gradient overlay alpha decaying. And "BALL LOST" floater center.

**Win:** big burst particles from all brick positions? Do: golden confetti from top + "LEVEL CLEARED" overlay after 0.8s delay (let particles play). phase='win' stops ball updates; delay overlay show via timer.

**Game over:** when lives 0: phase='over', show overlay after short delay with shake+flash.

Also handle: in demo mode, life lost → immediately respawn (no lives decrement or decrement then reset). Keep score increasing during demo; on real game start, reset score to 0. Best only tracked for real games? Track best always but reset... Demo score could inflate "best" — I'll only update best during real game. Good detail.

**Serve state:** ball follows paddle (offset 0, y = paddle top - r). Render normally. `serveT` counts down; at 0 → launch: `vy` up with random angle ±25°. Also `launchBall()` on space/click during serve. Multi-balls don't exist at serve (serve happens only when all balls lost).

During 'serve', paddle movable (mouse/keys), ball glued.

**Ball update order per frame:**

```
if phase in ('play','demo'):
  update paddle (input or AI)
  if serve: ball glue; countdown; else move balls w/ substeps
  update powerups (fall, catch, expire)
  update particles, floaters, effects
```
Demo is basically 'play' with AI flag. Let me encode: `state.mode`: 'demo' | 'game'; `state.phase`: 'serve' | 'run' | 'over' | 'win'; plus paused flag. In demo mode, phase cycles serve→run→(life loss→serve), win→reset level. In game mode, over/win terminal.

Demo AI controls paddle; user input ignored in demo (except start trigger). 

**Power-up effects:**

```
function applyPower(type){
  if (type==='wide'){ state.wideUntil = state.time + 10; toast floater "WIDE PADDLE!"; paddle.targetW = WIDE }
  if (type==='multi'){
     if (balls.length < 3){
        // add up to 3
        const src = balls[0];
        while (balls.length < 3){
           const ang = rotate src dir by ±0.35
           balls.push(newBall(src.x, src.y, dir))
        }
        floater "MULTIBALL!"
     } else { score += 300; floater "+300" }
  }
  score += 150 (catch bonus)
}
```
When wide expires: paddle.targetW = normal. `paddle.w` eased.

Chip HUD: if wideUntil > time → show chip "WIDE" + bar width %. If balls.length > 1 → chip "MULTIBALL ×N".

**Timing:** use performance-based dt from rAF, clamp 0.033 (33ms). `state.time += dt` while not paused.

**Collision with paddle — check with substeps.** Also note: ball moving down but past paddle top already (below paddle top) — with substeps it can't skip. If ball's y > paddle bottom (below paddle), don't rescue (it's a miss). Condition: ball bottom ≥ paddle top && ball top ≤ paddle bottom && vy>0 && horizontal overlap → bounce. Since substep ≤ 4px and paddle 16 tall, first contact happens while ball bottom within [paddleTop, paddleTop+something] — good.

Horizontal overlap: `ball.x + r*0.8 > paddle.x - paddle.w/2 && ball.x - r*0.8 < paddle.x + paddle.w/2`? Using full r is fine.

**Substep count:** `const steps = Math.ceil(dist / 5); dist = speed*dt`. speed max 540, dt max 0.033 → 17.8px → 4 steps. Loop: `for (let i=0;i<steps;i++){ stepMove(ball, dx/steps, dy/steps) }`.

Wait — during substeps, direction can change (bounce) — remaining substeps should use updated velocity, not the precomputed dx,dy. Solution: inside each substep, compute `sub = min(remaining, 5px)` along current velocity direction. Implement:

```
function moveBall(b, dt){
  let remaining = b.sp * dt;
  const step = 5;
  let guard = 0;
  while (remaining > 0.0001 && guard++ < 40){
    const d = Math.min(step, remaining);
    remaining -= d;
    b.x += b.dx * d; // where (dx,dy) is unit direction
    b.y += b.dy * d;
    resolveCollisions(b); // may flip dx,dy
    if (b.dead) break;
  }
}
```
Store direction as unit vector (b.dx, b.dy) + speed scalar. Reflections flip components. Magnitude changes (speed-up) just rescale via `b.sp`. 

`b.dx=Math.cos(a), b.dy=Math.sin(a)`.

Paddle bounce sets angle: `a = rel*MAX_BOUNCE`, dx=sin(a), dy=-cos(a) (up = negative y). Since angle measured from vertical: dx=sin, dy=-cos. ✓.

Min-|dy| guard: after wall/brick bounce, `if (Math.abs(b.dy) < 0.18) { b.dy = (b.dy<0?-1:1)*0.18; renorm dx }` — renormalize: `b.dx = Math.sign(b.dx||1)*Math.sqrt(1-b.dy²)`.

**Brick resolve:**

```
function brickCollide(b, ball){
  const cx = b.x + BRICK_W/2, cy = b.y + BRICK_H/2;
  const ox = (BALL_R + BRICK_W/2) - Math.abs(ball.x - cx);
  const oy = (BALL_R + BRICK_H/2) - Math.abs(ball.y - cy);
  if (ox <= 0 || oy <= 0) return false;
  if (ox < oy){ // horizontal resolve
    ball.x += Math.sign(ball.x - cx) * ox;
    ball.dx *= -1;
  } else {
    ball.y += Math.sign(ball.y - cy) * oy;
    ball.dy *= -1;
  }
  return true;
}
```
Ball as AABB of size 2r — accurate enough; never tunnels with substeps; reposition prevents overlap. ✓ requirement "never pass through bricks".

One more subtlety: after resolving one brick, ball might overlap an adjacent brick; the loop continues next substep — could cause double-reflect jitter in seams. To reduce: per substep, only handle the FIRST colliding brick (break after handling one). Since reposition pushes out of that brick, and adjacent overlap likely resolved as the "other axis"... e.g., ball hits seam between two bricks side by side: it approaches from below; overlap with both; for each ox is large (since brick width 65 and ball near seam center x — ox ≈ 32+r-|dx|... large), oy small → vertical resolve for whichever brick checked first. Reposition up; then check second brick: still overlapping vertically? After reposition, ball.y moved up by oy → no longer overlapping second brick's oy? oy was same for both (same row) → resolved. OK, breaking after first collision is fine and stable. But damage: only one brick damaged per substep — hitting a seam damages one brick, then ball moves away. Classic behavior. 

Actually hmm: what if ball exactly hits corner such that ox < oy for the first brick (side hit) but it's also overlapping a second brick below-adjacent? Resolve horizontally; second brick overlap: its oy might still be positive → next substep reflects vertically. Ball basically bounces out of corner. Rare, acceptable.

To pick "best" brick per substep, iterate all alive bricks, compute overlaps, choose max penetration... or min(ox,oy) largest? Choose the one with greatest overlap volume = the one ball is most into: `pen = min(ox,oy)` largest. I'll collect best by `pen` and handle it. One brick per substep.

**Speed-up on paddle hit** +2 per hit? Let me: +3 per brick destroyed, cap. Also serve after life loss keeps current speed? Classic resets. I'll keep speed persistent within a game but reset each new game and each life? Persistent feels better for pace; cap 540. Hmm — with 3 lives and speed rising, end-game gets frantic — good. Reset to base on new game and... on life lost reduce by 40 (mercy). Eh, keep simple: persistent, cap 560.

**Score floaters:** at brick pos "+50" small, color = brick color light.

**Now the demo start:** On load: `resetGame('demo')`, overlay visible. AI plays. Also demo serves quickly.

**Starting the real game:** on `pointerdown` anywhere on stage/overlay OR any keydown: if mode==='demo' → `beginGame()`. But the same click that starts shouldn't also immediately launch? It's fine: beginGame sets phase='serve' with serveT=1.2s; a subsequent click launches. Actually clicking start overlay → hide overlay → serve → auto launch after 1.2s. Nice.

Also clicking canvas during 'run' does nothing (or maybe nothing). During serve, click = launch. During over/win, button handles restart; also Space/Enter/R restart.

Edge: pointermove in demo moves paddle? AI overrides — ignore user paddle input in demo (except nothing). After game starts, user controls.

**Pause overlay:** simple "PAUSED — press P to resume" small panel; toggling paused stops updates. When paused, dt accumulating? Use `lastT` reset on unpause to avoid jump: on each rAF compute dt, if paused skip update but set lastT = now. I'll compute dt each frame regardless and just not apply updates when paused (dt still clamped).

**HUD updates:** call `syncHUD()` when score/lives change; chips updated each frame cheaply by comparing cached string.

Let me think about the "BEST" stat — maybe confusing in demo (demo score not counted). It shows session best of real games; initially 0. OK.

**Victory stats:** bricks smashed count: total destroyed this game (all 84). time? Track elapsed play time — show "TIME 1:32". Nice touch. `state.playTime` accumulates in run/serve phases of game mode.

**Now — write the actual code.** I'll be careful about correctness (zero console errors). Let me write it fully, mentally compiling.

```html

  html,body{height:100%;}
  body{
    background:
      radial-gradient(1200px 700px at 50% -10%, #101736 0%, #070912 55%),
      #070912;
    color:var(--ink);
    font-family:'Segoe UI', system-ui... 
```

Hmm, font: I said monospace for arcade. Let me define: `--mono: 'Cascadia Mono', 'JetBrains Mono', Consolas, 'Courier New', monospace;` Use mono for numbers/labels and title. For general text also mono to keep a consistent techy identity. All-mono identity is fine and distinctive.

CSS details:

```
body{
  min-height:100vh; display:flex; align-items:center; justify-content:center;
  padding:14px; overflow:hidden;  /* prevent scrollbars — careful: overflow hidden on body could clip if content taller than viewport. With our min() sizing it fits. Use overflow:hidden to guarantee no scrollbar. Hmm, if it doesn't fit (very short viewport) content clipped. min() handles height. Keep overflow:hidden? Requirement: no horizontal scrollbar. Vertical maybe fine. I'll use overflow:hidden on body since layout guarantees fit; but to be safe on odd viewports, use overflow:auto? A vertical scrollbar on a short viewport is acceptable; horizontal never. Let me set overflow-x:hidden and allow vertical. Actually with min() including (100vh-150px) term, frame height ≈ header+stage+footer ≤ (150px slack covers header+footer+margins). Header height varies when wrapping at narrow widths... at 375 wide header stacks maybe 110px tall, footer 40 → slack 150 OK-ish. I'll use overflow-x:hidden only. Hmm risk: vertical scrollbar reduces vw → min() recalcs fine.
}
```

Frame sizing:
```
.frame{
  width:min(940px, 96vw, calc((100vh - 170px) * 1.4516));
  display:flex; flex-direction:column; gap:10px;
}
```
Wait: 100vh-170 then stage height = width/1.4516; total = header(~64) + gap(10) + stage + gap(10)+footer(~26) + body padding 28 ≈ stage + 138. If width=(100vh-170)*1.4516 → stage=(100vh-170) → total = 100vh-170+138 = 100vh-32 ✓ fits with 32px margin. At 1280×800: (800-170)*1.4516=914 < 940 → width 914, stage 630, total ≈ 768 ≤ 800 ✓. Hmm slightly smaller than my earlier 920; fine. At 1280 width, 914px wide stage centered — looks good.

Actually let me maximize: use 100vh-150: (800-150)*1.4516 = 943 → capped 940. total = 940/1.4516=647 stage + 138 = 785 <800 ✓. 15px spare. Header might be taller if wraps — at 940 wide, header fits one row (~56px). OK: `calc((100vh - 150px) * 1.4516)`. Aspect ratio 900/620 = 1.4516. ✓.

HUD:

```
.hud{ display:flex; align-items:center; justify-content:space-between; gap:12px; flex-wrap:wrap; }
.logo{ font:800 20px/1 var(--mono); letter-spacing:.18em; color:#fff;
  text-shadow:0 0 18px rgba(83,232,255,.55); }
.logo b{ color:var(--cyan); }  /* "NEON" white "BREAKER" cyan */
.stats{ display:flex; gap:8px; align-items:stretch; }
.stat{ background:rgba(20,26,48,.75); border:1px solid rgba(255,255,255,.07);
  border-radius:8px; padding:6px 12px; min-width:74px; text-align:center;}

.stat .v{ font:700 18px/1.2 var(--mono); color:#fff; font-variant-numeric:tabular-nums;}
#lives .v span{ ... dots }
```

Lives dots: I'll render as 3 spans class 'life', filled = cyan glow dot via inline-block circle. Use elements:
```
<span class="dot on"></span>
```
`.dot{width:10px;height:10px;border-radius:50%;display:inline-block;margin:0 2px;background:#232a44;border:1px solid #39415f;} .dot.on{background:var(--cyan); box-shadow:0 0 8px rgba(83,232,255,.8); border-color:transparent;}`

Power chip:
```
.chip{display:none; align-items:center; gap:8px; ...}
.chip.show{display:flex;}
.chip .bar{height:4px; background:#1c2340; border-radius:2px; overflow:hidden; width:70px;}
.chip .bar i{display:block; height:100%; background:var(--gold);}
```
Chip content: `<span class="ic"></span><span class="t">WIDE</span><span class="bar"><i></i></span>`.

For multiball chip (no bar): hide bar. Manage two chips or one reused? Two separate chips simpler: #chipWide, #chipMulti.

Stage & canvas:

```
.stage{ position:relative; width:100%; aspect-ratio:900/620; border-radius:14px;
  overflow:hidden; border:1px solid rgba(120,150,255,.18);
  box-shadow:0 20px 60px rgba(0,0,0,.55), 0 0 40px rgba(70,110,255,.12) inset; background:#080b16;}
canvas{ position:absolute; inset:0; width:100%; height:100%; display:block; touch-action:none; cursor:crosshair; }
```

Overlays:
```
.overlay{ position:absolute; inset:0; display:flex; align-items:center; justify-content:center;
  background:rgba(6,8,16,.42); backdrop-filter:blur(3px); z-index:5; transition:opacity .35s;}
.overlay.hidden{opacity:0; pointer-events:none;}
.panel{ text-align:center; padding:26px 34px; background:rgba(10,14,28,.82);
  border:1px solid rgba(255,255,255,.1); border-radius:16px;
  box-shadow:0 24px 70px rgba(0,0,0,.6); max-width:86%;}
h1.title{ font:900 clamp(26px, 5.4vw, 44px)/1 var(--mono); letter-spacing:.14em; color:#fff; }
h1 .n{ color:var(--cyan); text-shadow:0 0 24px rgba(83,232,255,.6); }
.tag{...}
.start-hint{ font:700 13px var(--mono); letter-spacing:.2em; color:var(--gold); animation:pulse 1.6s infinite;}
@keyframes pulse{0%,100%{opacity:1}50%{opacity:.35}}
.keys{ display:flex; gap:14px; flex-wrap:wrap; justify-content:center; color:var(--dim); font:600 11px var(--mono); letter-spacing:.08em; margin-top:14px;}

```

End panel: h2 id, stats row, button:
```
.btn{ margin-top:18px; font:800 14px var(--mono); letter-spacing:.16em; color:#04121a;
  background:linear-gradient(180deg,#7df3ff,#2bc4e6); border:none; border-radius:10px;
  padding:12px 26px; cursor:pointer; box-shadow:0 8px 24px rgba(43,196,230,.35);}
.btn:hover{ transform:translateY(-1px); filter:brightness(1.06);}
```
Button needs pointer events — overlay has them.

Footer help:
```
.help{ text-align:center; color:#59608a; font:600 10.5px var(--mono); letter-spacing:.14em; }
```

Media query <520px: shrink stat paddings, logo smaller, hide footer maybe (keep but smaller). `.frame{gap:8px}`.

Now JS. Let me write it in full, thinking through every function.

```js
'use strict';
const canvas = document.getElementById('game');
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
const W=900, H=620;

// ---- DOM refs
const el = id => document.getElementById(id);
const scoreEl=el('score'), bestEl=el('best'), livesBox=el('livesDots'),
  chipWide=el('chipWide'), chipWideBar=el('wideBar'),
  chipMulti=el('chipMulti'), chipMultiN=el('multiN'),
  startOv=el('startOverlay'), endOv=el('endOverlay'), pauseOv=el('pauseOverlay'),
  endTitle=el('endTitle'), endScore=el('endScore'), endBest=el('endBest'),
  endStats=el('endStats'), bestBadge=el('bestBadge');
```

Constants as above.

Level map & colors.

Brick object build:

```
function buildBricks(){
  const arr=[]; let n=0;
  for(let r=0;r<LEVEL.length;r++){
    for(let c=0;c<LEVEL[r].length;c++){
      const ch = LEVEL[r][c];
      if (ch==='.') continue;  // no empty in my map though — all filled. Actually '.' = normal brick (not empty!). Let me use '.' as normal brick. All cells filled then. Fine: every char maps to a brick: '.', '#', 'W','M','w','m'.
      const tough = ch==='#'||ch==='w'||ch==='m';
      const pu = (ch==='W'||ch==='M') ? 'wide' : (ch==='w'||ch==='m') ? 'multi' : null;
      // wait 'W' = wide on normal, 'w' = wide on tough? I defined 'w' tough+wide, 'm' tough+multi. And 'W','M' normal. OK.
      const x = SIDE + c*(BRICK_W+GAP);
      const y = BRICK_TOP + r*ROW_H;
      const idx = arr.length;
      const grad = ... (created at draw time? store color pair)
      arr.push({x,y,row:r,col:c,tough,pu,hp:tough?2:1,alive:true,cracked:false,
                seed: idx*7.13 + r*3.7 + 1, cracks:null});
    }
  }
  return arr;
}
```

Wait mapping: 'W' wide normal; 'w' wide tough; 'M' multi normal; 'm' multi tough. But in row4 I put 'w' at c10 and said "tough wide"; row2 'm' c4 tough multi; row6 'm' c9 tough multi. And '#' tough plain. ✓.

I'll store gradient creation lazily at draw: creating linear gradients each frame for each brick — 84 bricks * 60fps. Honestly canvas can do this (gradient creation is cheap-ish), but let's pre-render brick sprites to offscreen canvases! Cleaner & fast: for each unique style make an offscreen canvas at build time (or first draw), then drawImage. Unique styles: row(7 colors) × {normal, tough} × {intact, cracked} × {pu: none, wide, multi} — combos ~ 7*2*2*3 = 84 worst-case but actual unique needed: my rows: tough bricks are steel color (not row color) so: styles = 7 row colors (normal, intact, no-pu) + steel (tough intact) + steel cracked + (normal w/ wide icon — which row colors? several) ... could hit ~20 offscreen canvases 66×24 — trivial memory. But cracked bricks need per-brick unique crack lines — can't share sprite. Alternative: shared cracked steel sprite with generic crack pattern (same cracks for all cracked bricks — acceptable? They'd look identical... all tough bricks share row-0 steel look anyway; identical cracks across different bricks is a bit noticeable but honestly fine. OR generate crack pattern per brick at crack-time into its own offscreen? Simplest: draw cracks procedurally each frame with the brick's seed — few cracked bricks at a time; path drawing cheap.

Decision: draw bricks directly with paths each frame (84 rounded rects + details at 60fps — totally fine, canvas handles thousands of rects). Create gradients per brick per frame? Instead of gradient objects, I can fake vertical gradient with 2 fillRects: fill base color, then top-half lighter overlay + top highlight line + bottom shade line. Even simpler & faster, no gradient objects. But gradients look smoother... Compromise: cache gradient objects per brick created at build (they're position-bound, bricks static — as discussed, safe). I'll cache. Actually with ctx scale changes, gradient coordinates in user space — still fine.

Let me define brick colors:

```
const ROW_COLORS = [
  ['#ff7a7a','#e03131'],
  ['#ffb15e','#e8590c'],
  ['#ffe066','#f59f00'],
  ['#8ce99a','#37b24d'],
  ['#74c0fc','#1c7ed6'],
  ['#b197fc','#6741d9'],
  ['#faa2c1','#d6336c'],
];
const STEEL = ['#c3cbd9','#6b7490']; // tough: light top, dark bottom
const STEEL_EDGE = '#939cb5';
```

Draw brick:

```
function drawBrick(b, t){
  const w=BRICK_W, h=BRICK_H;
  const [c1,c2] = b.tough ? STEEL : ROW_COLORS[b.row];
  ctx.fillStyle = b.grad; // cached linear gradient c1->c2
  roundRectPath(b.x, b.y, w, h, 4); ctx.fill();
  // bevel: top light line
  ctx.fillStyle = 'rgba(255,255,255,.30)';
  roundRectPath(b.x+1.5, b.y+1.5, w-3, 4, 2); ctx.fill();
  // bottom shade
  ctx.fillStyle = 'rgba(0,0,0,.22)';
  roundRectPath(b.x+1.5, b.y+h-4.5, w-3, 3, 1.5); ctx.fill();
  if (b.tough){
    ctx.strokeStyle='rgba(255,255,255,.25)'; ... outline + rivets
  }
  if (b.cracked){ dark overlay + crack lines }
  if (b.pu){ icon }
}
```

Cracked overlay: `ctx.fillStyle='rgba(20,24,38,.45)'; roundRect fill full` then cracks in darker stroke `rgba(15,18,30,.8)` width 1.5:

Crack lines from seed: generate at crack time and store array of polylines:
```
function makeCracks(b){
  const rnd = mulberry(b.seed);
  const lines=[];
  const cx=b.x+BRICK_W/2, cy=b.y+BRICK_H/2;
  for(let i=0;i<3;i++){
    const a = rnd()*Math.PI*2;
    let x=cx + (rnd()-0.5)*6, y=cy + (rnd()-0.5)*4;
    const pts=[[x,y]];
    let ang=a;
    for(let s=0;s<3;s++){
      ang += (rnd()-0.5)*1.2;
      const len = 6+rnd()*7;
      x += Math.cos(ang)*len; y += Math.sin(ang)*len;
      pts.push([x,y]);
    }
    lines.push(pts);
  }
  b.cracks=lines;
}
```
Clamp points inside brick roughly — not critical, cracks extending slightly outside look odd; clamp x to [b.x+2, b.x+w-2], y similarly. I'll clamp.

Also on crack, small chip particles (5) gray.

Rivets for tough: 4 dots at (x+5,y+5),(x+w-5,y+5), etc., r=1.6, fill 'rgba(255,255,255,.35)' top ones & 'rgba(0,0,0,.3)' bottom? Just all 'rgba(230,238,255,.35)' with dark ring? Keep: dark dot 'rgba(30,36,54,.5)' with light pixel above. Simple: fillStyle 'rgba(20,26,44,.45)', 4 circles r1.7.

Power-up icon:

```
function drawPuIcon(x, y, type, s, t){
  // s scale ~1 for brick, 1.2 for capsule
  const pulse = 0.8 + 0.2*Math.sin(t*4 + x*0.05);
  ctx.save(); ctx.translate(x,y); ctx.scale(s,s);
  // badge
  ctx.fillStyle = `rgba(255,255,255,${0.85*pulse+0.15})`;
  roundRectPath(-13,-8,26,16,8); ctx.fill();
  ctx.fillStyle = '#0c1120';
  if (type==='wide'){
    // double arrow
    ctx.beginPath();
    ctx.moveTo(-7,0); ctx.lineTo(-2,-4); ctx.lineTo(-2,4); ctx.closePath(); ctx.fill(); // left arrowhead pointing left
    ctx.fillRect(-3,-1.2, 6, 2.4); // center bar
    ctx.beginPath(); ctx.moveTo(7,0); ctx.lineTo(2,-4); ctx.lineTo(2,4); ctx.closePath(); ctx.fill();
  } else {
    // three dots triangle
    for (const [px,py] of [[0,-4],[-4,3],[4,3]]){ ctx.beginPath(); ctx.arc(px,py,2.6,0,7); ctx.fill(); }
  }
  ctx.restore();
}
```

Hmm arrow: left arrowhead: triangle with tip at (-8,0), base at (-3,-4)&(-3,4). Bar from -3 to 3. Right head tip (8,0) base (3,±4). Let me set: tips ±8, base ±3. Bar rect from -3 to 3 height 2.5. Good.

Pulse applied to badge alpha — subtle shimmer.

On the brick the icon sits centered; brick h=24 so icon 16 tall fits; width 26 < 65 ✓.

**Paddle draw:**

```
function drawPaddle(p, t){
  const x = p.x - p.w/2, y=PADDLE_Y, w=p.w, h=PADDLE_H;
  const wide = state.wideUntil > state.time;
  const c1 = wide ? '#ffe08a' : '#8af6ff';
  const c2 = wide ? '#f2a33c' : '#1e9ed8';
  const glow = wide ? 'rgba(255,193,75,.55)' : 'rgba(83,232,255,.5)';
  ctx.save();
  ctx.shadowColor = glow; ctx.shadowBlur = 18;
  const g = ctx.createLinearGradient(0,y,0,y+h);
  g.addColorStop(0,c1); g.addColorStop(1,c2);
  ctx.fillStyle = g;
  roundRectPath(x, y, w, h, 8); ctx.fill();
  ctx.shadowBlur = 0;
  // top highlight
  ctx.fillStyle='rgba(255,255,255,.5)';
  roundRectPath(x+3, y+2, w-6, 3, 1.5); ctx.fill();
  // center notch
  ctx.fillStyle='rgba(6,20,30,.55)';
  roundRectPath(p.x-9, y+h/2-2, 18, 4, 2); ctx.fill();
  // end caps accents
  ctx.fillStyle='rgba(255,255,255,.35)';
  ctx.fillRect(x+2, y+h-4, 6, 2); ctx.fillRect(x+w-8, y+h-4, 6, 2);
  ctx.restore();
}
```
Paddle pulse on hit: scale? skip or simple flash overlay: `p.flash` decays; draw white overlay alpha p.flash. I'll add: after gradient fill, if p.flash>0: fill rounded rect 'rgba(255,255,255,'+p.flash*0.6+')'. 

**Ball draw:**

```
function drawBall(b){
  // trail
  for (let i=0;i<b.trail.length;i++){
    const p=b.trail[i], a=(i+1)/b.trail.length;
    ctx.fillStyle = `rgba(126,240,255,${a*0.16})`;
    ctx.beginPath(); ctx.arc(p.x,p.y, BALL_R*(0.4+0.6*a), 0, 7); ctx.fill();
  }
  ctx.save();
  ctx.shadowColor='rgba(140,240,255,.9)'; ctx.shadowBlur=14;
  const g=ctx.createRadialGradient(b.x-2.5,b.y-2.5,1,b.x,b.y,BALL_R);
  g.addColorStop(0,'#ffffff'); g.addColorStop(1,'#9fe9ff');
  ctx.fillStyle=g;
  ctx.beginPath(); ctx.arc(b.x,b.y,BALL_R,0,7); ctx.fill();
  ctx.restore();
}
```
Trail: push {x,y} each frame (or each substep?), cap 10, shift. Push per frame is fine.

`ctx.arc(...,0,7)` — 7 > 2π, fine.

**Background draw:**

Static: I'll pre-render background to offscreen canvas at logical size (900×620) once (with vignette, subtle grid dots) and drawImage each frame. Plus a few animated star specks drawn live (20 points, slow drift). Let me do:

```
const bg = document.createElement('canvas'); bg.width=W; bg.height=H;
(function paintBG(){
  const c = bg.getContext('2d');
  const g = c.createLinearGradient(0,0,0,H);
  g.addColorStop(0,'#0c1124'); g.addColorStop(.5,'#0a0e1f'); g.addColorStop(1,'#070a16');
  c.fillStyle=g; c.fillRect(0,0,W,H);
  // faint grid
  c.strokeStyle='rgba(90,110,190,.05)'; c.lineWidth=1;
  for(let x=30;x<W;x+=30){ line vertical } for(let y=30;y<H;y+=30){ horizontal }
  // vignette
  const v = c.createRadialGradient(W/2,H*0.42, H*0.2, W/2,H/2, H*0.85);
  v.addColorStop(0,'rgba(0,0,0,0)'); v.addColorStop(1,'rgba(0,0,0,.5)');
  c.fillStyle=v; c.fillRect(0,0,W,H);
  // top glow strip behind bricks? subtle
})();
```
Note: bg canvas drawn with ctx transform scale — drawImage(bg,0,0) in logical coords scales up fine.

Animated stars: array of 26 {x,y,r,sp,tw}; drift upward slowly (y -= sp*dt, wrap), alpha twinkle sin. Draw small circles 'rgba(160,190,255,a)'. Cheap & alive. Behind bricks (draw right after bg, before world? with shake translate they'd shake too — stars shaking with world is fine; or draw stars inside world transform, yes).

**Order of render:**

```
ctx.setTransform(sx,0,0,sy,0,0);
ctx.clearRect? fill via bg draw covers all.
drawImage(bg, 0,0) — wait, bg is 900x620 offscreen, drawImage(bg,0,0) draws at logical 900x620 → scaled by transform. ✓ (offscreen at 1x logical; upscaling to dpr — slight blur in grid lines, acceptable; or make bg at 2x. I'll render bg offscreen at 2x (1800×1240) and drawImage(bg,0,0,W,H) — crisper. Memory trivial.)
// world with shake
ctx.save(); ctx.translate(shakeX, shakeY);
stars
powerups (behind bricks? no—falling below bricks; draw before bricks? capsule can overlap brick area only at spawn moment; draw capsules after bricks so visible over them... they spawn at brick and fall — draw after bricks.)
bricks
particles (some behind ball) — draw after bricks
paddle
balls
powerups
particles
floaters
ctx.restore();
// non-shaken UI: serve hint text, flash overlay
```

Flash overlay: `if (state.flash>0) { radial red overlay alpha flash }`.

Serve hint: if phase==='serve' && mode==='game': draw text "CLICK OR PRESS SPACE TO LAUNCH" above paddle, small pulsing; plus auto-launch. In demo serve: no text (or tiny). Skip text in demo.

**Update loop:**

```
let lastT = performance.now();
function frame(now){
  requestAnimationFrame(frame);
  let dt = (now - lastT)/1000; lastT = now;
  if (dt > 0.033) dt = 0.033;
  if (dt <= 0) return;
  if (!state.paused) update(dt);
  render(dt);
}
```

`state`:

```
const state = {
  mode:'demo', phase:'serve', paused:false,
  time:0, playTime:0,
  score:0, best:0, lives:3,
  speed:BASE_SPEED,
  bricks:[], balls:[], powerups:[], particles:[], floaters:[],
  bricksLeft:0, bricksTotal:0, smashed:0,
  wideUntil:-1, serveT:0, shake:0, flash:0,
  aiErr:0, aiErrT:0, endT:0,
};
const paddle = { x:W/2, w:PADDLE_W, targetW:PADDLE_W, flash:0 };
```

Input:

```
const keys = {left:false,right:false};
let usingKeys=false, mouseX=W/2, mouseActive=false;

window.addEventListener('keydown', e=>{
  if (['ArrowLeft','ArrowRight',' ','ArrowUp','ArrowDown'].includes(e.key)) e.preventDefault();
  if (state.mode==='demo'){ beginGame(); return; }
  if (e.key==='ArrowLeft'){ keys.left=true; usingKeys=true; }
  else if (e.key==='ArrowRight'){ keys.right=true; usingKeys=true; }
  else if (e.key===' '||e.key==='Enter'){
    if (state.phase==='serve') launch();
    else if (state.phase==='over'||state.phase==='win') restart();
  } else if (e.key==='p'||e.key==='P'){ togglePause(); }
  else if (e.key==='r'||e.key==='R'){ if(state.mode==='game') restart(); }
});
window.addEventListener('keyup', e=>{
  if (e.key==='ArrowLeft') keys.left=false;
  if (e.key==='ArrowRight') keys.right=false;
});
```

Hmm: keydown in demo starts game — but what if user presses 'p' first? It starts game (fine). Any key starts. But also, once game started via keydown, this same event shouldn't also do something weird — I return after beginGame. ✓. Also holding arrow after start: keydown repeats will set keys — fine.

Wait, subtle: user presses ArrowLeft while in demo → beginGame, return. The keyup later sets keys.left=false (it was never true) — fine. But the user's held arrow won't move paddle until next keydown repeat event (auto-repeat fires keydown repeatedly → will set keys.left=true on repeat). ✓.

Pointer:

```
function stagePos(e){
  const r = canvas.getBoundingClientRect();
  return { x:(e.clientX-r.left)/r.width*W, y:(e.clientY-r.top)/r.height*H };
}
canvas.addEventListener('pointermove', e=>{
  if (state.mode==='demo') return;
  const p=stagePos(e);
  mouseX = p.x; usingKeys=false;
});
canvas.addEventListener('pointerdown', e=>{
  if (state.mode==='demo'){ beginGame(); return; }
  const p=stagePos(e); mouseX=p.x; usingKeys=false;
  if (state.phase==='serve') launch();
});
```
Start overlay covers canvas — clicks land on overlay, not canvas. So attach click on start overlay too, or attach pointerdown on the `.stage` div (covers overlays). Better: `document.getElementById('stage').addEventListener('pointerdown', handler)` — events from overlays bubble to stage. Use stage for pointerdown. pointermove attach to window (so paddle tracks even if cursor slightly outside canvas — better UX). Let me attach pointermove to window: if mode demo return; compute relative to canvas rect regardless. ✓.

Also end overlay button click → restart; button inside stage so stage pointerdown fires too (bubbles) — my stage pointerdown handler: mode==='game', phase 'over' → does nothing (only serve launches). Button's own click → restart. But careful: stage pointerdown when phase==='serve' triggers launch — good. Also make clicking anywhere on end overlay restart (bigger target): in stage pointerdown: `if (state.phase==='over'||state.phase==='win') { restart(); return; }`. Then button redundant but keep it (with e.stopPropagation? not needed since both restart; double restart call — restart is idempotent-ish, but called twice quickly... pointerdown fires once, click fires once → restart called twice: second restart resets a fresh game — harmless but let me guard: in restart, if called within 300ms of previous, ignore. Or simpler: only button handles restart via click, and stage pointerdown ignores over/win. But then clicking outside button doesn't restart — fine, the button is obvious. Also Space/Enter restart. Decision: pointerdown handler: demo→begin; serve→launch; over/win→restart (and button click also restarts — double-call guard needed). I'll make the button `type="button"` and on its click call `e.stopPropagation()` then restart — pointerdown happens before click though. pointerdown on stage → restart() → phase 'serve'; then click on button → restart() again → resets again (score back to 0 — it was 0 anyway). Double restart is actually harmless (idempotent full reset). Both calls just reset to fresh serve. OK no guard needed. Actually there is one hazard: after first restart, overlay hidden; button click still fires (element still there under hidden overlay? pointer-events:none once hidden class added... the click sequence: pointerdown → restart hides overlay (pointer-events:none) → subsequent 'click' event may still fire on the button since pointerdown targeted it before hiding. Yes click will still dispatch. restart() again → harmless. Fine.

**beginGame:**

```
function beginGame(){
  state.mode='game';
  startOv.classList.add('hidden');
  resetMatch();
}
function resetMatch(){
  state.score=0; state.lives=3; state.smashed=0; state.playTime=0;
  state.speed=BASE_SPEED; state.wideUntil=-1;
  paddle.targetW=PADDLE_W; paddle.w=PADDLE_W; paddle.x=W/2;
  buildLevel(); // bricks, bricksLeft, powerups/particles/floaters cleared
  state.phase='serve'; state.serveT=1.4;
  state.balls=[newBall(paddle.x, PADDLE_Y-BALL_R-1, -Math.PI/2)]; // dir set at launch
  syncHUD(); hideEnd();
}
```

Ball object: `{x,y,dx,dy,sp,trail:[]}` — during serve, dx,dy irrelevant; glue position. `launch()`:

```
function launch(){
  const b = state.balls[0]; if(!b) return;
  const a = (-Math.PI/2) + (Math.random()*0.7-0.35); // ±20°
  b.dx=Math.cos(a); b.dy=Math.sin(a);
  b.sp=state.speed;
  state.phase='run';
  paddle.flash=1;
}
```
Angle from vertical: I parameterize direction as standard angle where up = -π/2. cos/sin fine. Paddle bounce sets: `const a = rel*MAX_BOUNCE; b.dx=Math.sin(a); b.dy=-Math.cos(a);` ✓ (a=0 → up).

**resetLevel for demo continue (win in demo):** rebuild bricks, keep score/lives.

```
function buildLevel(){
  state.bricks = buildBricks();
  state.bricksLeft = state.bricks.length;
  state.bricksTotal = state.bricks.length;
  state.powerups.length=0; state.particles.length=0; state.floaters.length=0;
}
```
Wait buildBricks returns array including all cells (no '.' skip needed since all are bricks). Actually should some cells be empty for visual variety? A full wall of 84 bricks looks classic. Keep full.

**loseLife:**

```
function loseLife(){
  state.lives--;
  state.flash = 1; state.shake = Math.max(state.shake, 7);
  syncHUD();
  if (state.mode==='demo'){
    if (state.lives<=0){ state.lives=3; syncHUD(); }
    // demo score keeps climbing? maybe reset? keep.
    state.phase='serve'; state.serveT=0.8;
    state.balls=[makeServeBall()];
    return;
  }
  if (state.lives<=0){ endGame(false); }
  else { state.phase='serve'; state.serveT=1.5; state.balls=[makeServeBall()]; floater center "BALL LOST"; }
}
```
Hmm demo lives display — HUD lives shown during demo? It'd fluctuate 3→2... In demo I'll keep lives display at 3 always (don't decrement in demo): in loseLife if demo → don't decrement, just respawn. Cleaner. Let me: 

```
function loseLife(){
  spawnLossFx();
  if (state.mode==='demo'){ respawn(); return; }
  state.lives--; syncHUD();
  if(state.lives<=0) endGame(false); else respawn();
}
function respawn(){ state.phase='serve'; state.serveT = state.mode==='demo'?0.8:1.5; state.balls=[makeServeBall()]; }
```

makeServeBall: `{x:paddle.x, y:PADDLE_Y-BALL_R-1, dx:0,dy:-1, sp:state.speed, trail:[]}`.

**endGame(win):**

```
function endGame(win){
  state.phase = win?'win':'over';
  state.endT = 0; // delay before showing overlay
  if (win){
    state.score += 1000; // victory bonus — floater
    burst confetti;
  }
  if (state.score > state.best){ state.best = state.score; bestEl... newBest=true }
  // overlay shown after delay in update
}
```
In update, when phase over/win: `state.endT += dt; if (state.endT > (win?1.1:0.9) && !endShown) showEnd(win)`.

showEnd fills DOM: title text & class, score, best, stats line ("84/84 BRICKS SMASHED · TIME 1:32"), badge if new best. Remove hidden class.

**restart():** `resetMatch()` (mode stays 'game'). If called during demo? Only from end overlay/button — mode is 'game'. Also 'R' key. ✓.

**Brick hit handling:**

```
function damageBrick(b, ball){
  b.hp--;
  if (b.hp>0){
    // crack
    b.cracked=true; makeCracks(b);
    addScore(30, b);
    spawnParticles(bx, by, STEEL[0], 6, 90);
    state.shake=Math.max(state.shake,2);
  } else {
    b.alive=false;
    state.bricksLeft--; state.smashed++;
    const pts = (b.tough?120:50) + (b.pu?30:0);
    addScore(pts, b);
    const col = b.tough? '#cdd6ea' : ROW_COLORS[b.row][0];
    spawnParticles(center, col, b.tough?18:14, 160);
    state.shake=Math.max(state.shake, b.tough?4:3);
    state.speed=Math.min(MAX_SPEED, state.speed+3);
    // renormalize all balls to new speed
    for (const bl of state.balls) bl.sp=state.speed;
    if (b.pu) spawnPower(b, b.pu);
    if (state.bricksLeft<=0) endGame(true);
  }
}
```
addScore(pts, b): score+=pts; floater `+pts` at brick center; syncHUD (score changed). Also best update live? Show BEST live when exceeded: `if (state.mode==='game' && state.score>state.best){ state.best=state.score; bestEl.textContent=...; newBestFlag=true }` — live best update is a nice touch. Keep `state.newBest` flag for end screen.

Floater for score: small "+50" at brick pos. Many floaters during multi-ball — fine, they fade fast (0.7s).

**spawnPower:**

```
function spawnPower(b, type){
  state.powerups.push({x:b.x+BRICK_W/2, y:b.y+BRICK_H/2, vy:110, t:Math.random()*6, type});
}
```
Update: `p.t+=dt; p.y+=p.vy*dt; p.vy=Math.min(190,p.vy+60*dt); p.x += Math.sin(p.t*3)*12*dt;` — sway. Catch check: overlap with paddle rect (expanded a bit): `p.y+11 > PADDLE_Y && p.y-11 < PADDLE_Y+PADDLE_H+6 && Math.abs(p.x-paddle.x) < paddle.w/2+14` → applyPower. Remove if `p.y > H+30`.

applyPower(type):

```
function applyPower(type){
  addScore(150, null); // +150 catch bonus, floater at paddle
  if (type==='wide'){
    state.wideUntil = state.time + 10;
    floater(paddle.x, PADDLE_Y-26, 'WIDE PADDLE', '#ffd166');
    paddle.targetW = PADDLE_W_WIDE;
  } else {
    if (state.balls.length<3){
      const src=state.balls[0];
      const base=Math.atan2(src.dy,src.dx);
      while(state.balls.length<3){
        const a = base + (state.balls.length%2? .45 : -.45) + (Math.random()*.2-.1);
        state.balls.push({x:src.x,y:src.y,dx:Math.cos(a),dy:Math.sin(a),sp:state.speed,trail:[]});
      }
      floater(paddle.x, PADDLE_Y-26, 'MULTIBALL', '#d0bfff');
    } else {
      addScore(300,null); floater(paddle.x,PADDLE_Y-26,'+300','#d0bfff');
    }
  }
  paddle.flash=1;
  spawnParticles(paddle.x, PADDLE_Y, '#ffd166', 10, 120);
}
```
Careful: multiball when balls.length===1 → pushes 2 → 3 ✓. If 2 → pushes 1 → 3 ✓. Serve-state catch impossible (powerups only during run; but ball could be lost while capsule mid-air → phase serve with balls=[serveBall]; capsule still falls; catch during serve → src=serveBall with dx=0,dy=-1 — multiball creates 3 balls while in serve phase? They'd be live balls but phase serve only auto-launches balls[0]... messy. Simplest: when entering serve (respawn), clear falling powerups. Do that in respawn(): `state.powerups.length=0`. Also clear on life lost. OK. And wide during serve is fine (paddle stays wide). 

Hmm wait: catching wide during serve phase — powerups cleared at respawn so nothing to catch. OK.

Also during 'run', if multi caught while 1 ball: new balls at same pos as src — if src near wall/brick could spawn overlapping; resolution handles.

**Ball vs paddle check (per substep):**

```
function paddleBounce(b){
  const top=PADDLE_Y, half=paddle.w/2;
  if (b.dy<=0) return false;
  if (b.y+BALL_R < top || b.y-BALL_R > top+PADDLE_H+6) return false;
  if (Math.abs(b.x - paddle.x) > half + BALL_R*0.7) return false;
  const rel = clamp((b.x-paddle.x)/half, -1, 1);
  const a = rel * MAX_BOUNCE;
  b.dx = Math.sin(a); b.dy = -Math.cos(a);
  b.y = top - BALL_R - 0.5;
  paddle.flash=1;
  spawnParticles(b.x, top, '#9ff3ff', 5, 90);
  if (state.mode==='demo'){ state.aiErr=(Math.random()-.5)*46; }
  return true;
}
```
Edge: ball near paddle side edge moving down, |x-paddle.x| slightly > half → no bounce, falls past — correct (miss).

Ball below screen: `if (b.y - BALL_R > H + 10) → remove`. When balls empty → loseLife.

**Brick check per substep:**

```
function brickCheck(b){
  let best=null, bestPen=0, bx=0, by=0;
  for (const br of state.bricks){
    if (!br.alive) continue;
    // quick reject
    if (b.x+BALL_R < br.x || b.x-BALL_R > br.x+BRICK_W || b.y+BALL_R < br.y || b.y-BALL_R > br.y+BRICK_H) continue;
    const cx=br.x+BRICK_W/2, cy=br.y+BRICK_H/2;
    const ox = BALL_R + BRICK_W/2 - Math.abs(b.x-cx);
    const oy = BALL_R + BRICK_H/2 - Math.abs(b.y-cy);
    const pen = Math.min(ox,oy);
    if (pen>bestPen){ bestPen=pen; best=br; }
  }
  if (!best) return;
  const cx=best.x+BRICK_W/2, cy=best.y+BRICK_H/2;
  const ox = BALL_R+BRICK_W/2-Math.abs(b.x-cx);
  const oy = BALL_R+BRICK_H/2-Math.abs(b.y-cy);
  if (ox<oy){ b.x += (b.x<cx?-1:1)*ox; b.dx*=-1; }
  else { b.y += (b.y<cy?-1:1)*oy; b.dy*=-1; }
  minVyGuard(b);
  damageBrick(best,b);
}
```
Note: if ox===oy exactly, vertical resolve — fine.

`minVyGuard`:
```
function minVyGuard(b){
  const m=0.18;
  if (Math.abs(b.dy)<m){
    const s=b.dy<0?-1:1; b.dy=s*m;
    b.dx=(b.dx<0?-1:1)*Math.sqrt(Math.max(0,1-m*m));
  }
}
```
(only flips when dangerously horizontal — rare.)

Also wall bounce:
```
if (b.x < BALL_R){ b.x=BALL_R; if(b.dx<0)b.dx=-b.dx; minVyGuard(b); tick particles maybe }
if (b.x > W-BALL_R){ b.x=W-BALL_R; if(b.dx>0)b.dx=-b.dx; minVyGuard(b); }
if (b.y < BALL_R){ b.y=BALL_R; if(b.dy<0)b.dy=-b.dy; }
```

**Update function:**

```
function update(dt){
  state.time += dt;
  // decay fx
  state.shake *= Math.pow(0.0015, dt); if (state.shake<0.08) state.shake=0;
  state.flash = Math.max(0, state.flash - dt*1.6);
  paddle.flash = Math.max(0, paddle.flash - dt*3);
  // paddle width ease
  const tw = (state.wideUntil>state.time)?PADDLE_W_WIDE:PADDLE_W;
  paddle.w += (tw-paddle.w)*Math.min(1,dt*9);
  updateParticles(dt); updateFloaters(dt);

  if (state.phase==='over'||state.phase==='win'){
    state.endT+=dt;
    if (state.endT> (state.phase==='win'?1.0:0.85)) showEnd();
    return;
  }
  if (state.mode==='game' && (state.phase==='serve'||state.phase==='run')) state.playTime+=dt;

  // paddle control
  if (state.mode==='demo') demoControl(dt);
  else {
    if (usingKeys){
      const dir=(keys.right?1:0)-(keys.left?1:0);
      paddle.x += dir*560*dt;
    } else {
      paddle.x = mouseX;
    }
    paddle.x = clamp(paddle.x, paddle.w/2+6, W-paddle.w/2-6);
  }
```
Hmm — mixing: if user last used keys then moves mouse — pointermove sets usingKeys=false. If user uses keys after mouse: keydown sets usingKeys=true. ✓. But keys with no direction pressed (both released, usingKeys still true) → dir 0 → paddle stays — correct (mouse doesn't drag it back).

Edge: `usingKeys` and mouse stationary: fine.

```
  if (state.phase==='serve'){
    state.serveT -= dt;
    const b=state.balls[0];
    b.x=paddle.x; b.y=PADDLE_Y-BALL_R-1;
    if (state.serveT<=0) launch();
  } else if (state.phase==='run'){
    for (let i=state.balls.length-1;i>=0;i--){
      const b=state.balls[i];
      moveBall(b,dt);
      if (b.y-BALL_R>H+8){ state.balls.splice(i,1); }
    }
    if (state.balls.length===0) loseLife();
    // powerups
    updatePowerups(dt);
  }
```
Wait — powerups should update even while... only exist in run. During serve they're cleared. But phase can become 'serve' via respawn which clears them ✓.

Hmm — also should update powerups during 'serve'? cleared, none. ✓.

moveBall:

```
function moveBall(b,dt){
  b.trail.push({x:b.x,y:b.y});
  if (b.trail.length>11) b.trail.shift();
  let rem = b.sp*dt;
  let guard=0;
  while (rem>0.001 && guard++<60){
    const d=Math.min(5,rem); rem-=d;
    b.x+=b.dx*d; b.y+=b.dy*d;
    // walls
    ...
    // paddle
    if (b.dy>0) paddleBounce(b);
    // bricks
    brickCheck(b);
  }
}
```
Note: b.trail per frame — good.

Also ball might bounce off paddle then still have rem substeps going up — fine.

One tunneling consideration: ball bouncing between paddle top and a brick directly above with tiny gap — resolution always repositions out, no stuck loops (guard 60).

Stuck-in-paddle scenario: ball hits paddle edge, repositioned to top; next substep moving down hits again → reposition top again, direction now upward — escapes. OK.

**demoControl:**

```
function demoControl(dt){
  let tx=W/2;
  // urgent ball: lowest y with dy>0
  let tgt=null;
  for (const b of state.balls) if (b.dy>0 && (!tgt || b.y>tgt.y)) tgt=b;
  if (state.phase==='serve'){ tx=W/2; }
  else if (tgt){
    const top=PADDLE_Y;
    const t=(top - tgt.y)/(tgt.dy*tgt.sp); // dy is unit; time to reach paddle top (in seconds since sp px/s)
    let px = tgt.x + tgt.dx*tgt.sp*t;
    // fold into walls
    const span=W-2*BALL_R;
    let m=(px-BALL_R)%(2*span); if(m<0)m+=2*span; px = (m>span? 2*span-m : m)+BALL_R;
    tx = px + state.aiErr*0.4;  // hmm error applied to prediction
  } else {
    // no descending ball: chase nearest powerup or center under highest ball
    let pu=null;
    for (const p of state.powerups) if(!pu || p.y>pu.y) pu=p;  // lowest capsule
    if (pu) tx=pu.x;
    else {
      // hover slightly toward the ball that's highest (about to come down)
      let hb=state.balls[0];
      for (const b of state.balls) if (b.y>hb.y) hb=b;  // lowest ball even if rising: hover under it
      tx = hb? hb.x + hb.dx*40 : W/2;
    }
  }
  // smooth move with capped speed
  const v=640; // demo paddle speed (a bit faster than ball horizontal needs)
  const d=clamp(tx-paddle.x, -v*dt, v*dt);
  paddle.x=clamp(paddle.x+d, paddle.w/2+6, W-paddle.w/2-6);
}
```
t could be negative if tgt.y > top (ball below paddle top already — about to be lost) → t negative → px = current x roughly. `t = (top - tgt.y)/(tgt.dy*tgt.sp)` with dy>0; if tgt.y>top, t<0, small — px≈tgt.x → paddle rushes to ball x — might save edge cases. OK.

aiErr: set on paddle bounce ±23*... let me set `state.aiErr=(Math.random()-.5)*44` on each paddle hit; prediction uses `px + aiErr*0.5`? If error up to ±22 and paddle half-width 56+, rarely misses. Actually misses give life-loss showcase. But too many misses looks dumb. ±22 offset — paddle width 112 covers it always. So AI never misses on prediction... then demo never loses lives. That's OK actually — demo looks competent. But power-up capsules: ball rising, AI chases capsule — during that time ball could turn downward; loop picks descending ball first (priority). Good.

Add slight laziness: v=560. Ball speed demo 380 → horizontal component max 380 — paddle 560 can catch up. Fine.

Demo also uses wide paddle etc. Multi-ball in demo with 3 balls: AI tracks the lowest descending ball; other balls may be lost — that's natural multiball attrition. Eventually 1 ball remains. Good.

**Particles:**

```
function spawnParticles(x,y,color,n,speed){
  for(let i=0;i<n;i++){
    const a=Math.random()*Math.PI*2, s=speed*(0.3+Math.random()*0.9);
    state.particles.push({x,y,vx:Math.cos(a)*s,vy:Math.sin(a)*s-40,
      life:0.5+Math.random()*0.45, max:0, r:1.5+Math.random()*2.6, color});
  }
}
```
set max=life at creation: `const lf=...; push({life:lf,max:lf,...})`.

update: `p.life-=dt; p.x+=p.vx*dt; p.y+=p.vy*dt; p.vy+=520*dt; p.vx*=Math.pow(0.3,dt)` drag. Remove life<=0. Cap array length ~400 (shift extras).

draw:
```
for p: a=p.life/p.max; ctx.globalAlpha=a; ctx.fillStyle=p.color;
  ctx.beginPath(); ctx.arc(p.x,p.y,p.r*(0.4+0.6*a),0,7); ctx.fill();
  // soft halo
  ctx.globalAlpha=a*0.22; ctx.beginPath(); arc r*2.4; fill;
ctx.globalAlpha=1;
```
Two circles × ~300 particles = 600 arcs — fine.

Confetti on win: bigger burst with mixed colors:
```
const WIN_COLORS=['#ffd166','#7df3ff','#8ce99a','#ffa94d','#b197fc'];
for (i<90): particles from random top positions falling with low gravity? Actually spawn across brick field: spawnParticles style but with varied colors & upward.
```
I'll do: `celebrate()` — 5 waves of spawnParticles at random x across brick area with random win colors, triggered... just spawn 120 once at brick field region with upward velocities. Gravity pulls down — looks like fireworks debris. Good enough. Plus flash gold.

**Floaters:**

```
{x,y,text,color,life,max, size}
draw: alpha=life/max; y -= 26*dt in update; font bold (size||13)px mono; textAlign center; slight rise & fade.
```
Also outline: draw with shadow? Use `ctx.strokeText` dark? Just fillText with high-contrast colors + slight shadowBlur. Keep simple: fillText color with globalAlpha, plus dark shadow via shadowColor 'rgba(0,0,0,.8)', shadowBlur 4 — one-liner, fine for few floaters.

**syncHUD:**

```
function syncHUD(){
  scoreEl.textContent = state.score;
  bestEl.textContent = state.best;
  // lives dots
  const dots=livesBox.children;
  for(let i=0;i<3;i++) dots[i].classList.toggle('on', i<state.lives);
}
```
Note in demo, lives stays 3 (we don't decrement). ✓.

**Chips per-frame:**

```
function syncChips(){
  const wide = state.wideUntil > state.time;
  chipWide.classList.toggle('show', wide);
  if (wide){ const rem=(state.wideUntil-state.time)/10; chipWideBar.style.width=(rem*100).toFixed(1)+'%'; }
  const multi = state.balls.length>1 && (state.phase==='run');
  chipMulti.classList.toggle('show', multi);
  if (multi) chipMultiN.textContent = '×'+state.balls.length;
}
```
Call in render loop (cheap DOM ops each frame — classList.toggle no-ops if same; style.width string set each frame — fine).

**showEnd:**

```
let endShown=false;
function showEnd(){
  if (endShown) return; endShown=true;
  const win = state.phase==='win';
  endTitle.textContent = win? 'LEVEL CLEARED' : 'GAME OVER';
  endTitle.className = 'end-title ' + (win?'win':'lose');
  endScore.textContent = state.score;
  endBest.textContent = state.best;
  endStats.textContent = state.smashed + ' / ' + state.bricksTotal + ' BRICKS SMASHED · ' + fmtTime(state.playTime);
  bestBadge.style.display = state.newBest && state.score>0 ? 'inline-block' : 'none';
  endOv.classList.remove('hidden');
}
```
endShown reset in resetMatch. `state.newBest` set in addScore when surpassing best during game. Reset newBest=false in resetMatch.

fmtTime: m:ss.

**Launch on pointerdown also should require not clicking the pause overlay...** Pause overlay covers stage; clicking it → stage pointerdown → phase likely 'run' → nothing (only serve launches). OK, but let me make click on pause overlay resume: in stage pointerdown: `if (state.paused){ togglePause(); return; }`. Good UX.

Also demo begin: the initial click on start overlay → stage pointerdown → beginGame ✓. Keydown → beginGame ✓.

**Pause:**

```
function togglePause(){
  if (state.mode!=='game') return;
  if (state.phase!=='run' && state.phase!=='serve') return;
  state.paused=!state.paused;
  pauseOv.classList.toggle('hidden', !state.paused);
}
```
When paused, update() skipped but render continues (static scene + overlay). dt still consumed: in frame(), `if(!state.paused) update(dt)`. But state.time used by wideUntil etc — frozen while paused ✓ (since time only advances in update). 

**Resize:**

```
function resize(){
  const r=canvas.getBoundingClientRect();
  const dpr=Math.min(window.devicePixelRatio||1,2);
  canvas.width=Math.max(1,Math.round(r.width*dpr));
  canvas.height=Math.max(1,Math.round(r.height*dpr));
}
window.addEventListener('resize', resize);
```
Call once after layout (and also in first frame — safe: check canvas.width mismatch each frame? Just call resize() once at start + on resize event. But layout may not be ready at script run (script at end of body, CSS applied — getBoundingClientRect should be valid). Use requestAnimationFrame first frame to call resize then render. I'll call resize() immediately AND once more in first rAF. Fine.

Render transform:
```
ctx.setTransform(canvas.width/W, 0, 0, canvas.height/H, 0, 0);
```
Since aspect-ratio CSS guarantees ratio, height/H ≈ width/W. 

Note: stage hidden? No. ✓.

**Now render():**

```
function render(){
  ctx.setTransform(canvas.width/W,0,0,canvas.height/H,0,0);
  ctx.clearRect(0,0,W,H);  // needed? bg drawImage covers all — but with shake translate, edges could show cleared gaps... bg drawn without shake (fills whole canvas), then world shaken inside. So no clear needed, but cheap; skip clear, draw bg first covering everything. Actually to be safe: drawImage(bg,0,0,W,H) covers full logical rect regardless of transform mapping to full canvas. ✓ no clear needed. I'll still clearRect for safety? It's harmless; do fillStyle bg? Let me just drawImage — guaranteed full coverage since transform maps (0,0)-(W,H) to full canvas.
  // stars
  ctx.save();
  const sx=(Math.random()-0.5)*state.shake, sy=(Math.random()-0.5)*state.shake;
  ctx.translate(sx,sy);
  drawStars();
  for (const b of state.bricks) if (b.alive) drawBrick(b);
  drawPowerups();
  drawPaddle();
  for (const b of state.balls) drawBall(b);
  drawParticles();
  drawFloaters();
  ctx.restore();
  // serve hint
  if (state.phase==='serve' && state.mode==='game'){
    const msg = state.serveT>0.35? 'CLICK OR PRESS SPACE TO LAUNCH' : 'LAUNCHING...';
    hmm simpler: always show 'CLICK OR PRESS SPACE TO LAUNCH' with pulsing alpha; plus small ring countdown on ball.
    drawServeHint();
  }
  // flash
  if (state.flash>0){
    ctx.fillStyle=`rgba(255,60,80,${state.flash*0.28})`;
    ctx.fillRect(0,0,W,H);
  }
  syncChips();
}
```
Wait ordering: powerups should draw above paddle? Capsule falling onto paddle — draw before paddle is fine either way. Keep as listed (powerups before paddle, ball after). Actually ball passing over capsule — capsule behind ball ✓.

drawServeHint: text above paddle y ~ PADDLE_Y-34, font 12px bold mono, letterspacing manual? Canvas has no letter-spacing (newer Chrome supports ctx.letterSpacing — Chrome 99+ supports `ctx.letterSpacing = '2px'`! Latest Chrome — fine, but guard: setting it is harmless if unsupported? Assigning unknown property just sets it, no error). I'll use ctx.letterSpacing where nice; guard not needed (property assignment won't throw).

Countdown ring: arc around serve ball radius 14, fraction = serveT/initialServeT — draw arc. Nice detail. `ctx.arc(b.x,b.y,15,-Math.PI/2, -Math.PI/2 + frac*2PI)` stroke cyan.

**Stars:**

```
const stars=[]; for(let i=0;i<28;i++) stars.push({x:Math.random()*W,y:Math.random()*H,r:0.5+Math.random()*1.4,s:4+Math.random()*10,p:Math.random()*6.28});
update in render (independent of pause? twinkle with state.time — frozen when paused; fine, or use perf time — use state.time, ok).
drawStars(): for each: a=0.25+0.35*Math.sin(state.time*1.5+s.p); y=(s.y - state.time*s.s) mod H... drift upward: yy = ((s.y - state.time*s.s) % H + H) % H; fill circle rgba(150,180,255,a).
```
Precompute per-frame string colors — 28 fills fine.

**drawPowerups:** for each p: 
```
ctx.save(); ctx.translate(p.x,p.y); ctx.rotate(Math.sin(p.t*4)*0.12);
const wide = p.type==='wide';
const g=ctx.createLinearGradient(0,-11,0,11);
g.addColorStop(0, wide?'#ffd97a':'#cbb2ff'); g.addColorStop(1, wide?'#f59f00':'#7950f2');
ctx.shadowColor= wide?'rgba(255,190,80,.8)':'rgba(150,120,255,.8)'; ctx.shadowBlur=14;
ctx.fillStyle=g; roundRectPath(-19,-11,38,22,11); ctx.fill();
ctx.shadowBlur=0;
// white inner ring
ctx.strokeStyle='rgba(255,255,255,.5)'; lineWidth 1.5; roundRectPath(-16,-8,32,16,8); stroke;
// icon
drawPuGlyph(0,0, p.type, 0.9, dark='#141428');
ctx.restore();
```
Refactor: `drawGlyph(type, color)` draws at origin (translated). Reuse for brick badge (scaled) and capsule. I'll write drawGlyph(type) drawing centered at 0,0 in a ~30×16 box with fillStyle preset.

**roundRectPath helper:**

```
function roundRectPath(x,y,w,h,r){
  ctx.beginPath();
  ctx.moveTo(x+r,y);
  ctx.arcTo(x+w,y,x+w,y+h,r);
  ctx.arcTo(x+w,y+h,x,y+h,r);
  ctx.arcTo(x,y+h,x,y,r);
  ctx.arcTo(x,y,x+w,y,r);
  ctx.closePath();
}
```
Or use ctx.roundRect (Chrome 99+). Latest Chrome supports roundRect — but let me use my helper for safety. Fine.

**Cached brick gradient:** at build: `b.grad = makeLinear(x, y, x, y+BRICK_H, c1, c2)` — but creating a gradient requires a context; create with ctx (main) at build time — ok since it's just an object; used at fill time under whatever transform. Wait — subtle: gradients created from ctx are not bound to transform at creation; coordinates interpreted at fill time. ✓ safe.

Actually simpler: create fresh each frame per brick — 84/frame is actually fine perf-wise (Chrome handles easily). Hmm, I've seen gradient creation be a minor cost; 84*60=5040/s trivial. But caching is free — do caching at build. On resize nothing changes (logical coords). ✓.

**Cracked overlay & cracks draw:**

```
if (b.cracked){
  ctx.fillStyle='rgba(16,20,34,.38)';
  roundRectPath(b.x,b.y,BRICK_W,BRICK_H,4); ctx.fill();
  ctx.strokeStyle='rgba(10,13,24,.85)'; ctx.lineWidth=1.6; ctx.lineJoin='round';
  ctx.beginPath();
  for (const line of b.cracks){ ctx.moveTo(line[0][0],line[0][1]); for pt ctx.lineTo; }
  ctx.stroke();
  // a few dark chips
  ctx.fillStyle='rgba(10,13,24,.8)';
  for (const [cxp,cyp] of b.chips){ ctx.fillRect(cxp,cyp,2.5,2.5); } // hmm
}
```
Chips: small dark squares along cracks — add 3 random points stored. OK, or skip chips. Keep cracks + tint + also reduce the top highlight (draw highlight before overlay? draw highlight first then overlay darkens it naturally). Order: base fill → bevels → cracked overlay → cracks → icon (if pu... can a cracked brick have pu? yes 'w'/'m' tough+pu: cracked then icon still drawn on top ✓).

**Now, the icon pulse uses state.time — frozen in pause, fine.**

**Score & best:**

```
function addScore(n, at){
  state.score+=n;
  if (at) floater(at.x+BRICK_W/2, at.y+BRICK_H/2, '+'+n, '#ffffff', 12);
  if (state.mode==='game' && state.score>state.best){ state.best=state.score; state.newBest=true; }
  syncHUD();  // cheap
}
```
floater at paddle for powerups uses different signature: floater(x,y,text,color,size).

Wait — addScore(150,null) for catch: I call floater separately in applyPower. Let me unify: floater(x,y,text,color,size=13). In applyPower: addScore(150) then floater(paddle.x, PADDLE_Y-30, 'WIDE PADDLE +150', ...). Combine into one floater text. 

**fmtTime(t):** `const m=Math.floor(t/60), s=Math.floor(t%60); return m+':'+String(s).padStart(2,'0');`

**Demo mode reset on win:** in endGame: if mode demo && win → rebuild level (buildLevel), phase serve, serveT 0.8, keep balls? Balls exist; make fresh serve ball. And +1000 shouldn't apply in demo... skip score bonus in demo. Let me restructure:

```
function levelCleared(){
  if (state.mode==='demo'){ buildLevel(); respawn(); return; }
  state.phase='win'; state.endT=0; endShown=false;
  state.score+=1000; syncHUD(); state.newBest maybe;
  celebrate();
}
```
And brick destroy calls levelCleared() when bricksLeft===0.

endGame(false) only in game mode. In demo, loseLife→respawn directly.

So damageBrick: `if (state.bricksLeft<=0) levelCleared();`

**loseLife in game:**

```
function loseLife(){
  state.flash=1; state.shake=Math.max(state.shake,8);
  state.lives--; syncHUD();
  if (state.lives<=0){ state.phase='over'; state.endT=0; endShown=false; }
  else { respawn(); }
}
function respawn(){
  state.powerups.length=0;
  state.phase='serve';
  state.serveT = state.mode==='demo'?0.75:1.5;
  state.balls=[{x:paddle.x,y:PADDLE_Y-BALL_R-1,dx:0,dy:-1,sp:state.speed,trail:[]}];
  if (state.mode==='game') floater(W/2, H-120, 'BALL LOST', '#ff5d6c', 16);
}
```
Demo loseLife: flash+shake too but keep lives at 3:

```
if (state.mode==='demo'){ state.flash=0.8; state.shake=8; respawn(); return; }
```

**newBall serve glue:** during serve phase update: balls[0] follows paddle ✓ (only in serve branch).

**Also during 'run', if wide expires mid-flight, paddle shrinks — fine.

**Ball speed:** BASE_SPEED=360, MAX_SPEED=560. Demo starts at 380? Just use 380 for demo via resetDemo. Eh — same 360; demo AI handles. Let me set demo speed 400 for lively action. In `startDemo()`: state.speed=400.

Actually careful: after demo runs a while, speed climbs to 560 (84 bricks × 3 = +252 → 400+252=652 capped 560). Demo at 560 with AI v=640 — AI must predict well; it does (linear prediction). OK.

**newGame resets speed to 360.**

**Victory check ordering:** damageBrick → bricksLeft 0 → levelCleared → phase 'win'. Ball continues substeps — after levelCleared, remaining `rem` loop continues; brickCheck finds no bricks; ball eventually falls? phase 'win' stops ball updates next frame (update returns early for over/win before ball movement). The current moveBall call in progress completes — harmless. But loseLife could trigger same frame after levelCleared if ball also fell — check: after moveBall loop, `if (state.balls.length===0) loseLife();` — guard: only if phase==='run'. Add `if (state.phase==='run' && state.balls.length===0) loseLife();` ✓. Similarly updatePowerups only in run.

**showEnd for win vs over delays** handled.

**Restart clears endShown & overlay:** resetMatch does `endOv.classList.add('hidden'); endShown=false; state.newBest=false;`.

**Demo initial:** on load:

```
function startDemo(){
  state.mode='demo'; state.score=0; state.lives=3; state.smashed=0;
  state.speed=400; state.wideUntil=-1;
  paddle.x=W/2; paddle.w=PADDLE_W; paddle.targetW=PADDLE_W;
  buildLevel(); state.phase='serve'; state.serveT=0.8;
  state.balls=[serve ball]; state.powerups/particles/floaters cleared (buildLevel does);
  syncHUD();
}
```

**Score display in demo:** shows climbing score — looks alive. Best stays 0 until real game. OK.

**HUD "LEVEL" indicator?** Not needed; single level. Maybe show "BRICKS 84" counter stat — nice: stat "BRICKS" showing bricksLeft/total. Adds info & arcade feel. 4 stats: SCORE, BEST, LIVES, BRICKS. Plus chips. At narrow widths wraps to 2 rows. OK add `bricksEl`.

syncHUD updates bricksLeft too.

**Fonts check:** `font:800 20px var(--mono)` — CSS shorthand with var works? `font: 800 20px/1 var(--mono)` — var in shorthand is fine in CSS. In canvas font strings I write literal families.

**Canvas fonts:** `ctx.font='700 12px Consolas, "Courier New", monospace'`.

**Now, icons in stats/keys legend:** avoid emoji. Use text + kbd styling. Lives as dots (CSS circles) — good, they echo the ball visual.

**Panel titles:** 

Start panel:
```
<div class="panel">
  <div class="kicker">ARCADE // SINGLE LEVEL</div>
  <h1 class="logo-big">NEON<span>BREAKER</span></h1>
  <p class="tag">84 bricks · armored rows take 2 hits · catch the drops</p>
  <div class="hint"><span class="dot-pulse"></span>CLICK OR PRESS A KEY TO START</div>
  <div class="keys">
    <span><kbd>MOUSE</kbd> / <kbd>←</kbd><kbd>→</kbd> move</span>
    <span><kbd>SPACE</kbd> launch</span>
    <span><kbd>P</kbd> pause</span>
    <span><kbd>R</kbd> restart</span>
  </div>
</div>
```
`dot-pulse`: small gold dot with ping animation.

Tag copy: "84 bricks — armored ones take two hits — grab the falling power-ups". Keep in English (task is English). 

Wait "←" "→" as kbd content — these are text arrows (fine, not emoji).

End panel:
```
<div class="panel">
  <div class="kicker" id="endKicker">MATCH COMPLETE</div>
  <h2 id="endTitle" class="end-title">GAME OVER</h2>
  <div class="end-stats">
    <div><span>SCORE</span><b id="endScore">0</b></div>
    <div><span>BEST</span><b id="endBest">0</b></div>
  </div>
  <div class="end-line" id="endStats">…</div>
  <div id="bestBadge" class="badge">NEW BEST</div>
  <button class="btn" id="againBtn" type="button">PLAY AGAIN</button>
  <div class="subhint">or press SPACE</div>
</div>
```

Pause overlay: small panel "PAUSED — press P to resume".

**Demo behind overlay:** overlay has backdrop blur(3px) + dark .42 — game visible but dimmed. Maybe reduce start overlay bg to .30 and blur 2px so demo clearly visible. Panel itself solid-ish. Good.

Also add subtle "DEMO" indicator? The overlay message already says click to start; behind it AI playing = obviously demo. Fine.

**Potential console errors to double check:**

- All element IDs referenced exist.
- No use of localStorage etc.
- `ctx.letterSpacing` assignment — safe.
- `roundRectPath` used before definition? Function declarations hoist ✓ (I'll use function declarations).
- Careful: `state` referenced inside functions defined before state declared? Function declarations hoisted but only *called* after everything defined (init at bottom). ✓ as long as calls happen post-init.

- `endStats` id conflicts with variable? Use distinct names.

**Serving glue when paddle near wall:** ball x = paddle.x clamped — fine.

**One more polish: ball spin/curve?** Skip — keep physics honest.

**Bricks top area & HUD inside canvas:** bricks start y=64. Between y=0..64 empty — maybe draw a subtle "danger line"? Not needed; top wall is canvas top. Could shift bricks up to y=56. Let me set BRICK_TOP=56. Bricks end 56+7*30-6=260. Fine.

Actually — maybe add decorative header strip inside canvas top? The HTML HUD sits above; inside canvas top ~50px shows stars/space. OK.

**Paddle at PADDLE_Y = H-44 = 576, height 16 → bottom 592; below it 28px bottom margin — capsule catch region & ball loss below H. Good.

**Multi-ball spawn from src with ±0.45 rad — if src.dy>0 (falling) clones also fall — fine, classic.

**Guard: launch() when balls[0] might not exist (shouldn't happen in serve).**

**pointerdown on stage — also `e.preventDefault()` to avoid focus/scroll? On touch, pointerdown default may scroll — touch-action:none on stage prevents. Set `touch-action:none` on `.stage`. And call e.preventDefault() in pointerdown (with `{passive:false}` default is fine for pointerdown; preventDefault on pointerdown prevents compat mouse events — ok).

Also, keydown preventDefault for space/arrows prevents page scroll ✓.

**Cursor:** hide cursor over stage during run? `cursor:none` could annoy; keep crosshair.

**Testing scenarios mentally:**

1. Load → resize() gets rect (frame laid out) → canvas sized. startDemo() → bricks built, serve ball glued, phase serve, serveT 0.8 → after 0.8s launch → AI plays. Screenshot at ~3s: game in action, start overlay panel + demo visible. ✓

2. Click → beginGame → resetMatch, phase serve 1.4s → countdown ring + hint text → auto-launch or space. Mouse moves paddle. Ball breaks bricks, particles, floaters. Tough bricks crack. Power-up bricks drop capsules; catch → wide (paddle grows gold, chip shows 10s bar) or multi (3 balls, chip ×3). ✓

3. Miss ball ×3 → GAME OVER overlay + PLAY AGAIN. ✓

4. Clear all 84 → confetti + LEVEL CLEARED + stats. ✓

5. Resize window → canvas resizes, transform updates. ✓

6. 375px: frame ~352px; HUD wraps; game scale small but crisp (dpr backing). ✓

**Let me now also double-check the collision "never pass through paddle":** substep 5px; paddle top at 576; ball falls at 560 px/s max → per substep 5px. Ball bottom reaches ≥576 → check: `b.y+BALL_R >= top` (my condition `b.y+BALL_R < top → return` means trigger when bottom ≥ top). Also require `b.y-BALL_R <= top+PADDLE_H+6` — with 5px steps and dy ≤ 1, ball penetrates at most 5px past first contact → still within. ✓. Horizontal: |x-paddle.x| ≤ half+0.7r — if ball center beyond, it's a side miss; ball then continues down beside paddle → lost. Could ball clip *through* paddle corner diagonally? It approaches with dy>0; first substep where bottom≥top triggers bounce regardless of previous x — as long as x overlaps at that moment. If ball moving fast horizontally+down, substeps 5px apart — at contact substep x-overlap checked; could x have been overlapping one substep earlier but not now? Doesn't matter — only current overlap counts; ball bounces when overlapping at paddle-top level. Slight corner-slip possible (ball crosses top edge exactly at corner in one substep where x moved past) — that's a legitimate near-miss, not tunneling. Acceptable & classic.

Also ball bouncing off paddle sets y above top — can't re-trigger same frame since dy now negative.

**Ball trapped between paddle and bottom wall?** Ball repositioned above paddle always. If it hits paddle side very low (y within paddle body but x just inside edge): condition `b.y-BALL_R > top+PADDLE_H+6` false (still within) → bounce repositions to top — teleports up slightly — acceptable, prevents pass-through.

Hmm wait: that condition — ball deep below paddle (missed, passing beside) with x overlapping edge? e.g., missed by centimeters, ball below paddle but its x drifts over paddle span while falling below it (x overlap, y beyond paddle bottom): condition `b.y-BALL_R > top+16+6` → ball top > 598 → no bounce ✓ passes to doom. But between top+16.. top+22 zone: `b.y-BALL_R > top+22`? My check `b.y - BALL_R > top + PADDLE_H + 6` — ball center could be at 576+16+6+8=606 before exclusion... ball top > 598. If ball center at 590 (below paddle bottom 592? no 590<592 still inside vertically)... paddle occupies y 576..592. Ball center 590 with radius 8: ball top 582, bottom 598 — overlaps paddle body! This happens only if ball tunnelled past the top-check in a substep where x wasn't overlapping then drifted x... substeps 5px, x drift ≤5px per substep. Ball bottom crossing 576 at substep k (x not overlapping, near edge), substep k+1: y +≤5, x+≤5 — now x overlaps, ball center ≈ 576+? Ball bottom crossed top at k means center ≈ 568; at k+1 center ≈573 — still above paddle bottom — bounce triggers (y-BALL_R=565 < 598 ✓). So rescue works up to center 590ish; beyond that (center > ~598) excluded → correctly lost. The "teleport up" from center 590 → 567.5 looks like a bounce — fine, generous edge save. Actually could look like ball hit paddle "from below"? Only if x overlap began while ball already deep — possible in rare multiball chaos; a 20px teleport pop — barely noticeable at 60fps. Acceptable.

**Brick tunneling check:** substep 5px ≤ ball radius 8 — ball can penetrate at most 5px into brick before detection; brick 24 tall — no tunnel. Ball approaching brick side: penetration ≤5 < brick width. ✓ Never passes through. Also resolution repositions fully out.

**One risk: ball exactly at brick seam** — handled, min-axis resolve.

**Speed of 560 & substep 5:** 560*0.0333=18.6px per frame max → 4 substeps. ✓ guard 60 plenty.

**Particles cap:** splice when > 380: `while (state.particles.length>380) state.particles.shift();` after spawn.

**Floaters:** push cap 30.

Now — write final code. Also ensure no `#` heading start; reply is single code block. Language: English (user request English).

Let me also reconsider brick count claim "84" in copy: 12×7=84 ✓.

MAX_BOUNCE 60° = Math.PI/3.

**HUD structure with 4 stats + chips:**

```
<header class="hud">
  <div class="logo">NEON<b>BREAKER</b></div>
  <div class="stats">
    <div class="chip" id="chipMulti"><span class="chip-ic multi"></span>MULTIBALL <b id="multiN">×3</b></div>
    <div class="chip wide" id="chipWide"><span class="chip-ic wide"></span>WIDE <span class="bar"><i id="wideBar"></i></span></div>
    <div class="stat"><span class="k">SCORE</span><span class="v" id="score">0</span></div>
    <div class="stat"><span class="k">BEST</span><span class="v" id="best">0</span></div>
    <div class="stat"><span class="k">BRICKS</span><span class="v" id="bricks">84</span></div>
    <div class="stat"><span class="k">LIVES</span><span class="v dots" id="livesDots"><i></i><i></i><i></i></span></div>
  </div>
</header>
```
Chips hidden by default (display:none, .show → flex). Chip icons: tiny CSS shapes: wide chip icon = gold pill; multi = three dots... CSS: `.chip-ic{width:8px;height:8px;border-radius:50%}` colored. Simple: wide = gold rounded bar (14×6), multi = violet dot. OK.

`.dots i` styling for lives.

Order: put chips before stats? Visually: left logo, right stats; chips appear between? I'll place chips inside stats row at left end. When hidden, row stays tidy. ✓.

**CSS responsive:**

```
@media (max-width: 560px){
  .logo{font-size:15px; letter-spacing:.12em;}
  .stat{min-width:0; padding:5px 8px;}
  .stat .v{font-size:14px;}
  .hud{gap:8px;}
  .keys{display:none;}  // hide legend on tiny screens? Panel still fine. Keep keys but wrap.
  .help{display:none;}
}
```
Keep keys visible (they wrap) — hide only `.help` footer.

**Also `body` centering with min-height 100vh; on tall screens content centered vertically — good.**

**Backdrop-filter support** — fine in Chrome.

**Text selection:** `user-select:none` on body.

**Now write the JS fully & carefully.** I'll write ~600 lines total. Let me be meticulous with variable names and check every reference.

Also one more detail — `ctx.letterSpacing` — I'll use for canvas hint text: `ctx.letterSpacing='3px'` then reset to '0px' after (it persists otherwise). Wrap in try? Assignment to canvas context property that doesn't exist just adds a property — no error. Chrome supports since 99. Safe.

Let me now think about `drawBrick` full implementation:

```
function drawBrick(b){
  const w=BRICK_W, h=BRICK_H, x=b.x, y=b.y;
  ctx.fillStyle=b.grad;
  roundRectPath(x,y,w,h,4); ctx.fill();
  // top bevel
  ctx.fillStyle='rgba(255,255,255,.32)';
  roundRectPath(x+1.5,y+1.5,w-3,3.5,2); ctx.fill();
  // bottom shade
  ctx.fillStyle='rgba(0,0,0,.25)';
  roundRectPath(x+1.5,y+h-4,w-3,2.5,1.2); ctx.fill();
  if (b.tough){
    // frame
    ctx.strokeStyle='rgba(255,255,255,.18)';
    ctx.lineWidth=1;
    roundRectPath(x+0.5,y+0.5,w-1,h-1,4); ctx.stroke();
    // rivets
    ctx.fillStyle='rgba(16,22,40,.55)';
    const rx=[x+5, x+w-5], ry=[y+5.5, y+h-5.5];
    for(const px of rx) for(const py of ry){ ctx.beginPath(); ctx.arc(px,py,1.6,0,7); ctx.fill(); }
  }
  if (b.cracked){
    ctx.fillStyle='rgba(14,18,32,.4)';
    roundRectPath(x,y,w,h,4); ctx.fill();
    ctx.strokeStyle='rgba(8,11,20,.9)'; ctx.lineWidth=1.5; ctx.lineJoin='round';
    ctx.beginPath();
    for(const ln of b.cracks){ ctx.moveTo(ln[0][0],ln[0][1]); for(let i=1;i<ln.length;i++) ctx.lineTo(ln[i][0],ln[i][1]); }
    ctx.stroke();
  }
  if (b.pu) drawBadge(x+w/2, y+h/2, b.pu);
}
```

drawBadge(cx,cy,type):
```
function drawBadge(cx,cy,type){
  const pulse = 0.78+0.22*Math.sin(state.time*3.2 + cx*0.11);
  ctx.save(); ctx.translate(cx,cy);
  ctx.fillStyle=`rgba(255,255,255,${(0.55+0.4*pulse).toFixed(3)})`;
  roundRectPath(-14,-8.5,28,17,8.5); ctx.fill();
  ctx.strokeStyle='rgba(20,26,48,.35)'; ctx.lineWidth=1;
  roundRectPath(-14,-8.5,28,17,8.5); ctx.stroke();
  drawGlyph(type,'#101528');
  ctx.restore();
}
```
Hmm alpha: base 0.55..0.95 pulse — visible on all colors. OK.

drawGlyph(type,color) at origin, fits ~30×16:
```
function drawGlyph(type,color){
  ctx.fillStyle=color;
  if (type==='wide'){
    ctx.fillRect(-4,-1.5,8,3);
    ctx.beginPath();
    ctx.moveTo(-9,0); ctx.lineTo(-4,-4.5); ctx.lineTo(-4,4.5); ctx.closePath(); ctx.fill();
    ctx.beginPath();
    ctx.moveTo(9,0); ctx.lineTo(4,-4.5); ctx.lineTo(4,4.5); ctx.closePath(); ctx.fill();
  } else {
    ctx.beginPath(); ctx.arc(0,-4,2.7,0,7); ctx.fill();
    ctx.beginPath(); ctx.arc(-4.6,3,2.7,0,7); ctx.fill();
    ctx.beginPath(); ctx.arc(4.6,3,2.7,0,7); ctx.fill();
  }
}
```

Capsule: translate then drawGlyph at scale 1 (capsule 38×22 fits glyph 30 wide? glyph spans x -9..9=18 wide ✓).

**makeCracks with seeded rng:**

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

```
function makeCracks(b){
  const rnd=mulberry32(Math.floor(b.seed*1000)+7);
  const cx=b.x+BRICK_W/2, cy=b.y+BRICK_H/2;
  b.cracks=[];
  const n=2+Math.floor(rnd()*2); // 2-3
  for(let i=0;i<n;i++){
    const pts=[];
    let x=cx+(rnd()-0.5)*10, y=cy+(rnd()-0.5)*6;
    let ang=rnd()*Math.PI*2;
    pts.push([x,y]);
    const segs=2+Math.floor(rnd()*2);
    for(let s=0;s<segs;s++){
      ang+=(rnd()-0.5)*1.4;
      const len=5+rnd()*8;
      x+=Math.cos(ang)*len; y+=Math.sin(ang)*len;
      pts.push([clamp(x,b.x+2,b.x+BRICK_W-2), clamp(y,b.y+2,b.y+BRICK_H-2)]);
    }
    b.cracks.push(pts);
  }
}
```

**Check LEVEL char to brick mapping code:**

```
for (const ch of row string) with c index:
  const tough = (ch==='#');
  let pu=null;
  if (ch==='W'||ch==='w') pu='wide';
  if (ch==='M'||ch==='m') pu='multi';
  const isTough = ch==='#'||ch==='w'||ch==='m';
```

**Seed:** `seed: r*31+c*7+13`.

**Gradient at build:**

```
function brickGrad(b){
  const [c1,c2]= b.tough?STEEL:ROW_COLORS[b.row];
  const g=ctx.createLinearGradient(0,b.y,0,b.y+BRICK_H);
  g.addColorStop(0,c1); g.addColorStop(1,c2);
  return g;
}
```

**Stars drift:** `yy=(s.y - state.time*s.s)%H` → negative modulo → ((v%H)+H)%H. Since state.time grows, fine.

**drawServeHint:**

```
function drawServeHint(){
  const b=state.balls[0]; if(!b) return;
  const a=0.55+0.45*Math.sin(state.time*6);
  ctx.save();
  ctx.textAlign='center';
  ctx.font='700 13px Consolas,"Courier New",monospace';
  try{ctx.letterSpacing='3px';}catch(e){}
  ctx.fillStyle=`rgba(180,200,255,${(0.35+0.5*a).toFixed(3)})`;
  ctx.fillText('CLICK OR PRESS SPACE TO LAUNCH', W/2, PADDLE_Y-38);
  try{ctx.letterSpacing='0px';}catch(e){}
  // countdown ring
  const frac=clamp(state.serveT / 1.5, 0, 1);
  ctx.strokeStyle='rgba(126,240,255,.8)'; ctx.lineWidth=2.5;
  ctx.beginPath(); ctx.arc(b.x,b.y,15,-Math.PI/2,-Math.PI/2+ (1-frac)*Math.PI*2); ctx.stroke();
  ctx.restore();
}
```
Ring shows progress filling as launch approaches: arc length (1-frac)*2π growing. frac from serveT/initial where initial differs (demo 0.75 vs game 1.5). Store `state.serveMax` at respawn/launch set. I'll add state.serveMax.

try/catch around letterSpacing — assignments don't throw; skip try. But if a browser getters/setters... assignment to non-existent prop never throws. Skip try/catch.

**Floater draw:**

```
function drawFloaters(){
  ctx.textAlign='center';
  for (const f of state.floaters){
    const a=clamp(f.life/f.max,0,1);
    ctx.globalAlpha=a;
    ctx.font=`800 ${f.size}px Consolas,"Courier New",monospace`;
    ctx.lineWidth=3; ctx.strokeStyle='rgba(5,8,18,.85)';
    ctx.strokeText(f.text,f.x,f.y);
    ctx.fillStyle=f.color; ctx.fillText(f.text,f.x,f.y);
  }
  ctx.globalAlpha=1;
}
```
strokeText behind fill = readable on any bg. update: `f.y-=30*dt; f.life-=dt`.

**celebrate():**

```
function celebrate(){
  const cols=['#ffd166','#7df3ff','#8ce99a','#ffa94d','#d0bfff'];
  for(let i=0;i<110;i++){
    const x=SIDE+Math.random()*(W-2*SIDE), y=60+Math.random()*200;
    spawnParticles(x,y,cols[i%cols.length],1,150);
  }
  state.flash=-? // gold flash? flash is red-coded. Add separate goldFlash? skip.
  state.shake=6;
}
```
Hmm flash red for win — no. Add `state.winGlow` — skip, confetti + overlay enough. Maybe make flash color depend on sign: I'll keep flash red-only for life loss. Win: shake+confetti ✓.

**spawnParticles signature (x,y,color,n,speed)** — celebrate loops calling with n=1 → 110 calls fine, or add bulk variant. Fine.

**updatePowerups:**

```
function updatePowerups(dt){
  for (let i=state.powerups.length-1;i>=0;i--){
    const p=state.powerups[i];
    p.t+=dt;
    p.vy=Math.min(200,p.vy+70*dt);
    p.y+=p.vy*dt;
    p.x+=Math.sin(p.t*3.1)*14*dt;
    if (p.y-12 > H){ state.powerups.splice(i,1); continue; }
    // catch
    if (p.y+11>=PADDLE_Y && p.y-11<=PADDLE_Y+PADDLE_H+8 && Math.abs(p.x-paddle.x)<=paddle.w/2+13){
      state.powerups.splice(i,1);
      applyPower(p.type);
    }
  }
}
```

**applyPower refined:**

```
function applyPower(type){
  addScore(150);
  paddle.flash=1;
  state.shake=Math.max(state.shake,3);
  if (type==='wide'){
    state.wideUntil=state.time+10;
    paddle.targetW=PADDLE_W_WIDE;
    floater(paddle.x, PADDLE_Y-34, 'WIDE PADDLE +150', '#ffd166', 15);
    spawnParticles(paddle.x, PADDLE_Y, '#ffd166', 12, 130);
  } else {
    if (state.balls.length<3){
      const src=state.balls[0];
      const base=Math.atan2(src.dy,src.dx);
      let k=0;
      while(state.balls.length<3){
        k++;
        const a=base+(k%2? 0.5:-0.5)*(1+0.2*Math.floor(k/2)) ;
        state.balls.push({x:src.x, y:src.y-2, dx:Math.cos(a), dy:Math.sin(a), sp:state.speed, trail:[]});
      }
      floater(paddle.x, PADDLE_Y-34, 'MULTIBALL +150', '#d0bfff', 15);
    } else {
      addScore(300);
      floater(paddle.x, PADDLE_Y-34, '+450', '#d0bfff', 15);
    }
    spawnParticles(paddle.x, PADDLE_Y, '#d0bfff', 12, 130);
  }
  syncHUD();
}
```
Angle offsets: k=1 → +0.5; k=2 → -0.5... wait (k%2?0.5:-0.5)*(1+0.2*floor(k/2)): k=1: 0.5*1=0.5; k=2: -0.5*1=-0.5; k=3 (won't happen since max 2 added): 0.5*1.2. From 1 ball → adds k=1,2 → ±0.5 rad ≈ ±28.6°. From 2 balls → adds 1 → +0.5. OK good.

Edge: src.dy could be 0? atan2 handles.

**floater():**

```
function floater(x,y,text,color,size=13){
  state.floaters.push({x,y,text,color,size,life:0.9,max:0.9});
  if (state.floaters.length>26) state.floaters.shift();
}
```

**addScore(n, brick):**

```
function addScore(n, brick){
  state.score+=n;
  if (brick) floater(brick.x+BRICK_W/2, brick.y+BRICK_H/2-2, '+'+n, '#fff', 12);
  if (state.mode==='game' && state.score>state.best){ state.best=state.score; state.newBest=true; }
  syncHUD();
}
```

**damageBrick:**

```
function damageBrick(b){
  b.hp--;
  const cx=b.x+BRICK_W/2, cy=b.y+BRICK_H/2;
  if (b.hp>0){
    b.cracked=true; makeCracks(b);
    addScore(30,b);
    spawnParticles(cx,cy,'#aeb8cc',7,100);
    state.shake=Math.max(state.shake,2.5);
  } else {
    b.alive=false;
    state.bricksLeft--; state.smashed++;
    addScore((b.tough?120:50)+(b.pu?30:0), b);
    const col=b.tough?'#c3cbd9':ROW_COLORS[b.row][0];
    spawnParticles(cx,cy,col,b.tough?20:15,170);
    state.shake=Math.max(state.shake,b.tough?4.5:3);
    state.speed=Math.min(MAX_SPEED,state.speed+3);
    for (const bl of state.balls) bl.sp=state.speed;
    if (b.pu) state.powerups.push({x:cx,y:cy,vy:100,t:Math.random()*6,type:b.pu});
    if (state.bricksLeft<=0) levelCleared();
  }
}
```
Note when levelCleared→win, syncHUD via addScore ✓.

**levelCleared:**

```
function levelCleared(){
  if (state.mode==='demo'){ buildLevel(); respawn(); return; }
  celebrate();
  addScore(1000);
  floater(W/2,H/2-40,'+1000 CLEAR BONUS','#ffd166',20);
  state.phase='win'; state.endT=0; endShown=false;
}
```
addScore(1000) with no brick → no floater; separate floater added ✓.

**endGame over:** in loseLife when lives 0:
```
state.phase='over'; state.endT=0; endShown=false;
floater(W/2, H/2, 'GAME OVER', '#ff5d6c', 26);
```
Actually overlay comes 0.85s later; a canvas "GAME OVER" flash first is dramatic. But floater lasts 0.9s. Fine.

**showEnd** as planned; note phase might still be 'win'/'over' ✓.

**HUD sync of bricks:** `bricksEl.textContent = state.bricksLeft;`

**Init sequence at bottom:**

```
resize();
startDemo();
requestAnimationFrame(t=>{lastT=t; resize(); requestAnimationFrame(frame);});
```
Simpler: `let lastT=performance.now(); requestAnimationFrame(frame);` with resize called at top of frame each time? Recomputing rect every frame — getBoundingClientRect each frame is okay but wasteful; do on resize event + once. But CSS layout after fonts load could shift sizes slightly? Fonts are system — no shift. Also initial call before first paint: rect valid after DOM parse (script at end of body) — element sizes computed? getBoundingClientRect forces layout — returns correct values. ✓. But also aspect-ratio + width from min() — computed. OK. To be extra safe, call resize() also inside first 3 frames. I'll add a check in frame(): `if (frameCount<3) resize();`. Cheap.

**One more: canvas CSS `position:absolute; inset:0; width:100%; height:100%` — with stage aspect-ratio, height matches. Canvas backing set from rect ✓.

**Prevent context menu on long-press?** skip.

**Also handle `pointerleave`?** Paddle stays at last mouse pos ✓ fine.

**Multi-ball trail arrays** ✓ each ball has own.

**Demo: mouse cursor over stage does nothing ✓.**

**When game over overlay visible and user moves mouse — nothing.**

**R key during demo → ignored (mode check) ✓. P during demo ignored ✓.**

**Space during 'run' — nothing (could map to pause? no).**

Edge: Space pressed at 'over' → restart ✓. Enter same.

**restart = resetMatch:** ensure it also hides end overlay & pause overlay & unpauses:

```
function resetMatch(){
  state.score=0; state.lives=3; state.smashed=0; state.playTime=0;
  state.speed=BASE_SPEED; state.wideUntil=-1; state.newBest=false;
  state.paused=false; endShown=false;
  pauseOv.classList.add('hidden'); endOv.classList.add('hidden');
  paddle.x=W/2; paddle.w=PADDLE_W;
  buildLevel();
  respawn();  // sets phase serve + serve ball; but respawn shows "BALL LOST" floater for game mode — guard: only floater when lives<3? Pass a flag.
  syncHUD();
}
```
respawn's "BALL LOST" floater — move that floater call into loseLife instead. ✓ cleaner.

respawn:
```
function respawn(){
  state.powerups.length=0;
  state.phase='serve';
  state.serveT=state.serveMax=(state.mode==='demo'?0.75:1.5);
  state.balls=[{x:paddle.x,y:PADDLE_Y-BALL_R-1,dx:0,dy:-1,sp:state.speed,trail:[]}];
}
```

loseLife:
```
function loseLife(){
  if (state.mode==='demo'){
    state.flash=0.9; state.shake=8; respawn(); return;
  }
  state.flash=1; state.shake=9;
  state.lives--; syncHUD();
  if (state.lives<=0){
    state.phase='over'; state.endT=0; endShown=false;
    floater(W/2,H/2-20,'GAME OVER','#ff5d6c',24);
  } else {
    floater(W/2,H-140, state.lives+(state.lives===1?' LIFE LEFT':' LIVES LEFT'), '#ff8fa0', 16);
    respawn();
  }
}
```

**beginGame:**
```
function beginGame(){
  if (state.mode!=='demo') return;
  state.mode='game';
  startOv.classList.add('hidden');
  resetMatch();
}
```

**startDemo:**
```
function startDemo(){
  state.mode='demo';
  state.score=0; state.lives=3; state.smashed=0; state.playTime=0;
  state.speed=DEMO_SPEED; state.wideUntil=-1;
  buildLevel();
  respawn();  // mode demo → serveT .75
  syncHUD();
}
```
But respawn uses state.mode — set mode first ✓. Note respawn references PADDLE_Y etc ✓.

Also demo ball serve glue ✓; launch() sets sp=state.speed ✓.

**launch():**
```
function launch(){
  const b=state.balls[0]; if(!b) return;
  const a=-Math.PI/2 + (Math.random()*0.6-0.3);
  b.dx=Math.cos(a); b.dy=Math.sin(a);
  b.sp=state.speed;
  state.phase='run';
}
```
(-π/2 ±0.3 rad ≈ ±17°) ✓.

**syncHUD:**
```
function syncHUD(){
  scoreEl.textContent=state.score;
  bestEl.textContent=state.best;
  bricksEl.textContent=state.bricksLeft;
  const dots=livesDots.children;
  for(let i=0;i<dots.length;i++) dots[i].classList.toggle('on', i<state.lives);
}
```

**buildLevel:**
```
function buildLevel(){
  const arr=[];
  for(let r=0;r<LEVEL.length;r++){
    for(let c=0;c<LEVEL[r].length;c++){
      const ch=LEVEL[r][c];
      const tough=(ch==='#'||ch==='w'||ch==='m');
      const pu=(ch==='W'||ch==='w')?'wide':(ch==='M'||ch==='m')?'multi':null;
      const x=SIDE+c*(BRICK_W+GAP), y=BRICK_TOP+r*ROW_H;
      const b={x,y,row:r,col:c,tough,pu,hp:tough?2:1,alive:true,cracked:false,cracks:null,seed:r*37+c*11+5};
      b.grad=brickGrad(b);
      arr.push(b);
    }
  }
  state.bricks=arr; state.bricksLeft=arr.length; state.bricksTotal=arr.length;
  state.powerups.length=0; state.particles.length=0; state.floaters.length=0;
}
```

**Check brick gradient creation uses ctx before canvas sized — fine (gradient object independent).**

**Demo AI details — one flaw:** prediction when tgt.dy small... guarded by minVy. When tgt exists but t huge (ball just left paddle going up? no—tgt has dy>0 descending). t=(576 - y)/(dy*sp). If ball just started descending from top (y=8): t≈(568)/ (dy*sp) ~ 1.5-3s — prediction includes wall folds ✓. AI drives to predicted x early and waits. Good.

But `state.aiErr` applied: `tx = px + state.aiErr` with aiErr set on each paddle bounce ±22 — ok. Also re-randomize occasionally when ball hits top wall? Not needed.

In serve phase (demo), tx=W/2 → paddle centers while ball glued ✓ then launch.

**updatePowerups only called in 'run'.** But wait: capsule spawned, then ball lost → loseLife→respawn clears capsules ✓.

**Wide expiry while serve:** paddle shrinks — fine.

**Chip sync when paused:** chips read state.time — static ✓.

**Flash render:** red overlay fillRect whole canvas ✓.

**Also victory: balls frozen (phase win → update returns before movement) but render draws them ✓; powerups frozen mid-air — visually fine (confetti flies). Actually update returns early for over/win BEFORE particles update? Let me check my update() order: I put `updateParticles`/`updateFloaters` BEFORE the phase check for over/win — yes I listed decay fx + particles first, then `if (phase over/win){ endT...; return; }`. So particles/floaters continue during end screens ✓ nice (confetti falls behind overlay). And shake decays ✓. flash decays ✓.

But paddle width ease & paddle.flash decay also before return ✓ good (paddle visible under overlay... end overlay covers with blur — fine).

**render() during over/win:** draws bricks (some alive on game over), paddle, balls (balls array — on 'over' balls empty? loseLife triggered when balls empty → balls=[] → no balls drawn ✓; on win balls still exist frozen ✓). drawServeHint skipped (phase not serve) ✓.

**Now — the HTML head meta + title.**

**Colors final:**
- cyan: #53e8ff / ball #9fe9ff
- gold: #ffc24b
- red: #ff5d6c
- bg deep navy.

**Panel kicker style:** tiny letterspaced dim label.

Let me also add a subtle CRT scanline overlay on stage? `background: repeating-linear-gradient` as ::after over canvas with pointer-events none, opacity .05 — adds arcade texture. Careful not to dim too much: `rgba(255,255,255,.02)` lines every 3px. Subtle. Add:

```
.stage::after{content:''; position:absolute; inset:0; pointer-events:none; z-index:4;
  background:repeating-linear-gradient(0deg, rgba(255,255,255,.028) 0 1px, transparent 1px 3px);
  mix-blend-mode:overlay; border-radius:inherit;}
```
Overlays z-index 5 above it ✓.

**Footer:** `MOUSE / ARROWS MOVE · SPACE LAUNCH · P PAUSE · R RESTART` dim tiny.

Now, careful review of potential runtime errors:

1. `mulberry32` uses Math.imul ✓.
2. `clamp` helper define.
3. All DOM ids: score, best, bricks, livesDots, chipWide, wideBar, chipMulti, multiN, startOverlay, endOverlay, pauseOverlay, endTitle, endScore, endBest, endStats, bestBadge, againBtn, stage, game. ✓ define all in HTML.
4. `endShown` variable declared.
5. In syncChips, `chipMultiN.textContent='×'+n` ✓.
6. `state.serveMax` used in drawServeHint — defined in respawn; also set in... serve only entered via respawn ✓ (and resetMatch→respawn). Also demo start ✓.
7. `frameCount` var.
8. `stars` init.
9. `bg` offscreen painted before first render ✓ (IIFE at init).
10. `ctx.letterSpacing` — set & reset around serve hint; Chrome supports. Also maybe for floaters? skip.

11. Multiple `roundRectPath` calls on ctx path — each begins new path ✓.

12. `drawGlyph` uses beginPath per shape ✓.

13. textBaseline default alphabetic — floaters fine; serve hint fine.

14. When balls array has serve ball with trail [] ✓.

15. `moveBall` when phase 'run' only ✓.

16. Ball loss check `state.phase==='run'` ✓.

17. `usingKeys` initial false → paddle follows mouseX (init W/2) until mouse moves ✓.

18. Pointerdown on stage while phase 'run': nothing — maybe also allow click to... nothing. OK. But wait — after beginGame via stage pointerdown, the SAME pointerdown event: my handler runs once (phase was demo → beginGame → return). Ball won't launch immediately ✓.

19. After game over, stage pointerdown → restart? I decided: over/win → restart on pointerdown. But then the "PLAY AGAIN" button click also fires → restart twice (harmless as analyzed: second call resets fresh serve again — but wait, first restart → phase 'serve'; second restart (from button click 100ms later) → resetMatch again — serve timer restarts, no harm). Also the pointerdown that restarts ALSO... `restart()` then phase serve; then click event on button — restart again. Fine.

Hmm, actually one subtle thing: pointerdown → restart() → serve; user intended click on button; after restart, overlay hidden — game serves 1.5s and auto-launches while user reads? Auto-launch after 1.5s — acceptable (they can also react). OK.

Alternatively make over/win click-through only on button + Space. I'll keep pointerdown restart (bigger target, better UX for judges).

20. `keydown` when mode==='game' & phase 'over': Space/Enter → resetMatch ✓; also 'r' ✓.

21. Any keydown in demo → beginGame — including modifier keys (Shift alone?) — keydown fires for Shift ✓ starts game — fine ("press a key").

22. `e.key` for space is ' ' ✓.

23. Prevent default only for arrows/space — allow F5 etc ✓.

24. iframe focus: after click, keys work ✓.

25. `document.fonts`? none.

26. Never call alert/etc ✓.

27. `console` — no logs.

28. Overlay `hidden` class transitions opacity — pointer-events none via class ✓.

29. Initial: startOverlay visible (no hidden), endOverlay & pauseOverlay have hidden class ✓.

30. `.overlay.hidden{opacity:0; pointer-events:none}` — with transition .35s ✓.

31. Lives dots: `<i></i>` children — `livesDots.children` HTMLCollection of 3 ✓.

32. Ensure `state.time` increments only when !paused — wide countdown pauses with game ✓ fair.

33. `syncChips` called in render — runs even when paused ✓ shows state.

34. resize() during pause ✓.

35. `getBoundingClientRect` of canvas — canvas absolute inset 0 in stage ✓.

36. In demo mode, pointermove ignored ✓; but keys also ignored? keydown in demo begins game — first keydown triggers beginGame and returns; subsequent repeats: mode now 'game' → sets keys ✓ good.

37. beginGame triggered by keydown of ArrowLeft: returns immediately; auto-repeat will set keys.left=true on next repeat (~500ms delay?) — Chrome repeat delay ~250-500ms. Acceptable. Alternatively, in demo-branch after beginGame, also process the key if arrow: don't return; fall through to set keys. Let me do that: 

```
if (state.mode==='demo'){ beginGame(); }
// continue to arrow handling (mode now 'game')
```
But then Space in demo would beginGame AND launch (serve just set with serveT 1.5 → launch() immediately — actually launch requires phase serve — it is — launching instantly on the starting keypress is maybe unwanted; user pressed "a key to start", ball fires immediately. Hmm, that's OK-ish but let me keep serve countdown. So: beginGame(); if key is arrow → set keys; else return. I'll structure:

```
window.addEventListener('keydown', (e)=>{
  const k=e.key;
  if (k==='ArrowLeft'||k==='ArrowRight'||k===' ') e.preventDefault();
  if (state.mode==='demo'){
    beginGame();
    if (k==='ArrowLeft') keys.left=true, usingKeys=true;
    if (k==='ArrowRight') keys.right=true, usingKeys=true;
    return;
  }
  ...
});
```
Good.

38. Hmm — `e.preventDefault()` for space prevents page scroll & button activation via keyboard? If focus on PLAY AGAIN button, Space would click it AND our handler restarts — double restart harmless. Fine. Actually when button focused, keydown target is button; our window handler still fires (bubbling) ✓.

39. After restart via button click, button keeps focus; pressing Space later → button "click" via keyup? Space on focused button triggers click on keyup — would restart mid-game unexpectedly! Guard: in button click handler, `btn.blur()`. Add `againBtn.blur()` after restart. ✓ Good catch.

Also arrow keys while button focused — window handler still sets keys ✓ (focus irrelevant).

40. `state.newBest` init false ✓.

41. On win: endScore shows score incl. bonus ✓.

42. `endKicker` — set text: win? 'VICTORY' : 'MATCH OVER'? I'll have kicker static "MATCH COMPLETE"? Dynamic: win → "ALL BRICKS CLEARED", lose → "OUT OF BALLS". Nice.

43. Stats: smashed/total + time — on game over smashed < total ✓.

Alright — also double-check `update()` full flow order:

```
function update(dt){
  state.time+=dt;
  // fx decay
  state.shake*=Math.pow(0.002,dt); if(state.shake<0.1) state.shake=0;
  state.flash=Math.max(0,state.flash-dt*1.5);
  paddle.flash=Math.max(0,paddle.flash-dt*3.5);
  const tw=(state.wideUntil>state.time)?PADDLE_W_WIDE:PADDLE_W;
  paddle.w+=(tw-paddle.w)*Math.min(1,dt*10);
  updateParticles(dt);
  updateFloaters(dt);

  if (state.phase==='over'||state.phase==='win'){
    state.endT+=dt;
    const delay=state.phase==='win'?1.2:0.9;
    if (state.endT>=delay) showEnd();
    return;
  }
  if (state.mode==='game') state.playTime+=dt;

  if (state.mode==='demo') demoControl(dt);
  else movePaddlePlayer(dt);

  if (state.phase==='serve'){
    state.serveT-=dt;
    const b=state.balls[0];
    if (b){ b.x=paddle.x; b.y=PADDLE_Y-BALL_R-1; }
    if (state.serveT<=0) launch();
  } else {
    for (let i=state.balls.length-1;i>=0;i--){
      moveBall(state.balls[i],dt);
      if (state.balls[i].y-BALL_R>H+6) state.balls.splice(i,1);
    }
    if (state.phase==='run' && state.balls.length===0) loseLife();
    updatePowerups(dt);
  }
}
```
Wait — phase could be 'run' during loop; loseLife may switch to serve/over ✓. `updatePowerups` should only run in 'run' (serve cleared) — but if loseLife→respawn cleared, updatePowerups over empty ✓. But careful: if phase==='serve' at this point (after loseLife), updatePowerups still called — empty ✓. Or gate: `if (state.phase==='run') updatePowerups(dt);` cleaner.

Also: `moveBall` might trigger levelCleared (win) mid-loop — subsequent iterations still move other balls (harmless), loseLife guarded by phase==='run' ✓.

movePaddlePlayer:

```
function movePaddlePlayer(dt){
  if (usingKeys){
    const dir=(keys.right?1:0)-(keys.left?1:0);
    paddle.x+=dir*600*dt;
  } else paddle.x=mouseX;
  paddle.x=clamp(paddle.x, paddle.w/2+4, W-paddle.w/2-4);
}
```

**render():** full:

```
function render(){
  ctx.setTransform(canvas.width/W,0,0,canvas.height/H,0,0);
  ctx.drawImage(bg,0,0,W,H);
  ctx.save();
  if (state.shake>0) ctx.translate((Math.random()-0.5)*state.shake,(Math.random()-0.5)*state.shake);
  drawStars();
  for (const b of state.bricks) if (b.alive) drawBrick(b);
  drawPowerups();
  drawPaddle();
  for (const b of state.balls) drawBall(b);
  drawParticles();
  drawFloaters();
  ctx.restore();
  if (state.phase==='serve' && state.mode==='game') drawServeHint();
  if (state.flash>0){ ctx.fillStyle=`rgba(255,61,87,${(state.flash*0.3).toFixed(3)})`; ctx.fillRect(0,0,W,H); }
  syncChips();
}
```

drawImage(bg,0,0,W,H): bg canvas is W*2 × H*2 internal; specifying dest w/h W,H scales ✓ (source full). Good.

**bg paint:**

```
const bg=document.createElement('canvas');
bg.width=W*2; bg.height=H*2;
{
  const c=bg.getContext('2d');
  c.scale(2,2);
  const g=c.createLinearGradient(0,0,0,H);

  c.fillStyle=g; c.fillRect(0,0,W,H);
  // grid
  c.strokeStyle='rgba(96,120,200,.055)'; c.lineWidth=1;
  c.beginPath();
  for(let x=30;x<W;x+=30){ c.moveTo(x+.5,0); c.lineTo(x+.5,H); }
  for(let y=30;y<H;y+=30){ c.moveTo(0,y+.5); c.lineTo(W,y+.5); }
  c.stroke();
  // soft glow behind brick field
  const rg=c.createRadialGradient(W/2,150,40,W/2,150,320);

  c.fillStyle=rg; c.fillRect(0,0,W,340);
  // vignette
  const v=c.createRadialGradient(W/2,H*0.45,H*0.25,W/2,H*0.5,H*0.9);

  if (b.trail.length>10) b.trail.shift();
  let rem=b.sp*dt, guard=0;
  while (rem>0.001 && guard++<80){
    const d=Math.min(5,rem); rem-=d;
    b.x+=b.dx*d; b.y+=b.dy*d;
    // walls
    if (b.x<BALL_R){ b.x=BALL_R; if (b.dx<0) b.dx=-b.dx; minVyGuard(b); }
    else if (b.x>W-BALL_R){ b.x=W-BALL_R; if (b.dx>0) b.dx=-b.dx; minVyGuard(b); }
    if (b.y<BALL_R){ b.y=BALL_R; if (b.dy<0) b.dy=-b.dy; }
    if (b.dy>0) paddleBounce(b);
    brickCheck(b);
  }
}
```

**minVyGuard:**

```
function minVyGuard(b){
  if (Math.abs(b.dy)<0.18){
    const s=b.dy<0?-1:1;
    b.dy=s*0.18;
    b.dx=(b.dx<0?-1:1)*Math.sqrt(1-0.18*0.18);
  }
}
```

**brickCheck:** as drafted. Also skip when no bricks alive quickly (bricksLeft===0 → return).

**paddleBounce:** as drafted. Also only in phase run? Ball substeps only run in run ✓.

**showEnd:**

```
function showEnd(){
  if (endShown) return;
  endShown=true;
  const win=state.phase==='win';
  endKicker.textContent=win?'ALL BRICKS CLEARED':'OUT OF BALLS';
  endTitle.textContent=win?'LEVEL CLEARED':'GAME OVER';
  endTitle.classList.toggle('win',win);
  endScore.textContent=state.score;
  endBest.textContent=state.best;
  endStats.textContent=state.smashed+' / '+state.bricksTotal+' bricks · '+fmtTime(state.playTime);
  bestBadge.style.display=(state.newBest&&state.score>0)?'inline-block':'none';
  endOv.classList.remove('hidden');
}
```
`endStats` lower-case style fine.

**fmtTime:**
```
function fmtTime(t){
  const m=Math.floor(t/60), s=Math.floor(t%60);
  return m+':'+String(s).padStart(2,'0');
}
```

**togglePause:**
```
function togglePause(){
  if (state.mode!=='game') return;
  if (state.phase!=='run'&&state.phase!=='serve') return;
  state.paused=!state.paused;
  pauseOv.classList.toggle('hidden',!state.paused);
}
```

**Also — auto-pause when window blurs?** If user tabs away, rAF stops; dt clamp 33ms on return → no ball jumps ✓. OK.

**Buttons:**

```
againBtn.addEventListener('click', (e)=>{ e.stopPropagation(); againBtn.blur(); resetMatch(); });
```
stopPropagation prevents stage pointerdown? No — pointerdown fires before click; stopPropagation on click doesn't stop the earlier pointerdown (already dispatched to stage handler → restart). Then click → resetMatch again. Both fine. Actually with stopPropagation on click, only the stage's click listeners would be blocked — I attach restart to stage's *pointerdown*, not click — so both fire: pointerdown restart + click restart. Double reset — harmless (idempotent). Actually is it? resetMatch during 'serve' right after first resetMatch: rebuilds everything, serveT back to 1.5 — just delays launch slightly. Harmless.

Hmm, but there's an edge: pointerdown on end overlay → resetMatch → overlay hidden; browser then computes click target — element under pointer at mouseup... click fires on the element that was under pointerdown & pointerup (closest common ancestor) — button — click dispatches → resetMatch again. OK truly harmless.

**Also add stage pointerdown handler:**

```
stage.addEventListener('pointerdown', (e)=>{
  e.preventDefault();
  if (state.mode==='demo'){ beginGame(); return; }
  if (state.paused){ togglePause(); return; }
  if (state.phase==='serve'){ launch(); return; }
  if (state.phase==='over'||state.phase==='win'){ if (endShown) resetMatch(); return; }
});
```
preventDefault on pointerdown — prevents text selection etc. But it also prevents focus? preventDefault on pointerdown prevents default focus behavior — button won't get focus on click — even better (no space-button issue). But then click still fires ✓.

Note: `if (endShown) resetMatch()` — if clicked during the pre-overlay delay, ignore. OK.

**pointermove on window:**

```
window.addEventListener('pointermove',(e)=>{
  if (state.mode==='demo') return;
  const r=canvas.getBoundingClientRect();
  if (r.width===0) return;
  mouseX=(e.clientX-r.left)/r.width*W;
  usingKeys=false;
});
```

**Also handle `visibilitychange` → auto-pause when hidden during game:** nice: 

```
document.addEventListener('visibilitychange',()=>{
  if (document.hidden && state.mode==='game' && !state.paused && (state.phase==='run'||state.phase==='serve')) togglePause();
});
```
Good touch — prevents unfair losses when tabbing. ✓

**Start overlay also displays small legend of power-ups?** Panel tag mentions power-ups. Could add two mini glyph chips in panel: "WIDE PADDLE" gold pill & "MULTIBALL" violet pill with CSS shapes — nice preview. Let me add small legend row:

```
<div class="pu-legend">
  <span class="pill wide">◄ WIDE PADDLE ►</span>  ← text arrows? I'd rather CSS: use "↔" char? ↔ is a text arrow char (U+2194) not emoji — acceptable. Or just words.
</div>
```
Keep simple: two pills: `<span class="pill p-wide">WIDE PADDLE</span><span class="pill p-multi">MULTIBALL ×3</span>` with colored borders. ✓

**Title styling "NEON BREAKER":** big, `NEON` white, `BREAKER` cyan glow. Kicker above: "A BRICK-BREAKER ARCADE". Tag: "84 bricks · armored rows take 2 hits · catch falling power-ups".

**Panel width at 375px screen:** stage ~352 wide; panel max-width 86% ≈ 300 — text wraps fine with clamp fonts.

Now write CSS fully. Also nice: `body` subtle noise? skip.

`.hint` with pulsing dot:

```
.hint{display:inline-flex; align-items:center; gap:10px; margin-top:18px; font:800 13px/1 var(--mono); letter-spacing:.22em; color:var(--gold);}
.hint i{width:9px;height:9px;border-radius:50%;background:var(--gold); box-shadow:0 0 0 0 rgba(255,194,75,.7); animation:ping 1.6s infinite;}
@keyframes ping{ 0%{box-shadow:0 0 0 0 rgba(255,194,75,.65)} 70%{box-shadow:0 0 0 12px rgba(255,194,75,0)} 100%{box-shadow:0 0 0 0 rgba(255,194,75,0)} }
```

`.tag{margin-top:10px; color:var(--dim); font:600 12.5px/1.6 var(--mono); letter-spacing:.06em; max-width:40ch;}`

`.keys` bottom.

Panel entrance animation: `animation: rise .5s ease` translateY(10px)→0, opacity — nice on load. Also overlay hidden→shown transitions.

end-title classes: `.end-title{font:900 clamp(24px,4.5vw,38px)/1.05 var(--mono); letter-spacing:.1em; color:#ff5d6c; text-shadow:0 0 30px rgba(255,93,108,.4);} .end-title.win{color:var(--green); text-shadow:0 0 30px rgba(105,240,174,.4);}`

end-stats:
```
.end-stats{display:flex; gap:12px; justify-content:center; margin-top:16px;}
.end-stats>div{background:rgba(24,30,54,.8); border:1px solid rgba(255,255,255,.08); border-radius:10px; padding:10px 18px; min-width:110px;}
.end-stats span{display:block; font-size:9.5px; letter-spacing:.22em; color:var(--dim); margin-bottom:4px;}
.end-stats b{font:800 22px/1 var(--mono); color:#fff;}
```

badge: `#bestBadge{display:none; margin-top:12px; font:800 10px var(--mono); letter-spacing:.2em; color:#1a1204; background:linear-gradient(180deg,#ffe08a,#f2a33c); padding:5px 12px; border-radius:999px;}`

subhint: dim small.

**Now assemble everything.** Also check: `--mono` var used in `font` shorthand — must be `font:800 13px/1 var(--mono)` — shorthand with var works (var substitutes family list). One gotcha: `font: 800 13px/1 var(--mono);` — the var must expand to valid family list; it does. ✓

Also careful: CSS `min(940px, 96vw, calc((100vh - 150px) * 1.4516))` — inside min(), calc allowed, even bare math `*` allowed in min() arguments per spec (math functions). Using calc() explicitly is safest. ✓

Edge: very short viewport (e.g., 500px tall): (500-150)*1.45=507 → width 507, stage 349 tall; header+footer wraps... total ~349+140=489<500 ✓.

Extremely short (300px): (150)*1.45=217 → stage 150 tall. Header may overflow — body overflow visible vertical scroll — acceptable degenerate.

**Kicker style:** `.kicker{font:700 10px var(--mono); letter-spacing:.34em; color:#6ee7ff; opacity:.85;}`

Alright — also the "logo" in header vs panel title duplication: header shows compact logo + stats; start panel shows big title. Fine.

Let me also double check `drawServeHint` uses `state.serveMax` — set in respawn. ✓ ring frac = clamp(serveT/serveMax,0,1); arc from -π/2 sweep (1-frac)*2π. ✓

**Also: after launch() phase 'run'; serve hint disappears ✓.**

**Demo & win overlay:** demo never shows end overlay ✓.

**One more check — `buildLevel` clears powerups/particles — called by resetMatch & startDemo & demo levelCleared ✓.**

**In resetMatch, buildLevel before respawn — respawn doesn't rebuild ✓.**

**state.bricksTotal used in endStats ✓.**

**Check `addScore` calls syncHUD each time — during celebrate with 110 particles no score. During multiball, many addScore — DOM writes fine.**

**Potential bug: `syncChips` reading `state.balls.length` for multi chip during 'win' phase with 3 balls → chip shows ×3 on victory screen — gate to phase 'run' ✓ I had that. Also during 'serve' balls=1 → off ✓.**

**Also wide chip during 'over' — wideUntil vs time: time frozen? phase 'over' still advances state.time (update runs until showEnd returns early — time increments at top before phase check ✓). So wide bar ticks down during end screen; paddle drawn shrinks. Whatever — cosmetic. Could gate: chips only when phase serve/run. Let me gate chips: `const active = state.phase==='serve'||state.phase==='run'; chipWide.show = active && wide...`. Fine.

**Ball drawn during 'win' frozen — trail static (last positions) — trail remains drawn (slightly odd frozen trail) — acceptable; or clear trails on win. Leave.

**Now, about starting the serve ball position when paddle at edge — glued each frame ✓.

**Hmm, `launch()` uses balls[0] — in serve there's exactly 1 ✓.

**Fonts in canvas:** 'Consolas,"Courier New",monospace' — Chrome on Linux/mac has Consolas? mac: no Consolas → falls to Courier New → fine.

**letterSpacing on ctx — reset after use ✓.

Double-check `drawGlyph` fillStyle set before shapes; color param used ✓.

**Check `stage` id & class:** `<div class="stage" id="stage">`.

**Now — final check on "no horizontal scrollbar":** body overflow-x hidden + centered flex; frame width ≤96vw ✓.

**Meta viewport** ✓.

Let me also think whether `paddleBounce` should ignore when `state.phase!=='run'` — moveBall only called in run ✓.

**Demo AI when multi (3 balls):** targets lowest descending ball; other two may fall → eventually 1. Also, when 2 balls remain and both rising, AI chases powerup or hovers. OK.

**AI on serve in demo: centers; serveT .75 → launch. ✓**

**AI prediction includes aiErr applied every frame (constant offset until next paddle hit) — fine.

One more potential visual: bricks at top rows — ball spawn area below bricks — no overlap.

**Numbers:** BASE_SPEED=360, DEMO_SPEED=400, MAX_SPEED=560, PADDLE key speed 600, AI speed 640.

Hmm AI speed 640 vs ball 560 max — catchable ✓.

**Write out `LEVEL` with exact 12-char rows** — I'll recount at write time.

Also — brick points floater for crack: addScore(30,b) → floater "+30" ✓.

**Victory when last brick is a power-up brick:** capsule spawns but level cleared → phase win; powerups frozen mid-air (update gated to run) — capsule hangs frozen during confetti — slightly odd but overlay covers quickly. Could let powerups keep falling during win — gate `updatePowerups` to run OR win? During 'over' too (balls gone, capsules fall & vanish at bottom; catch impossible—paddle still there... catching during over would applyPower → multiball spawn balls while phase 'over' — weird). Simplest: clear powerups in levelCleared (game mode): `state.powerups.length=0;` before celebrate. ✓ And on 'over' (loseLife terminal): also clear. Add both.

**Also freeze: during 'win' balls frozen — maybe let balls keep bouncing for the 1.2s until overlay? Nicer: on win, balls... classic just stops. Keep frozen; confetti animates ✓.

**Edge — `showEnd` called every frame after threshold with endShown guard ✓.

**resetMatch must also reset `state.time`?** wideUntil=-1 anyway; time keeps growing — used for anims ✓ fine. But `state.wideUntil = -1` then paddle normal ✓.

**state.newBest reset in resetMatch ✓.**

**demo → real game: `state.time` continues ✓ fine.

**Check that I don't reference `paddle.targetW` anymore (width driven by wideUntil) — remove targetW from applyPower (I set paddle.targetW earlier — now unnecessary). Clean: wide effect purely via wideUntil in update. ✓ Remove targetW refs.

**Initial `state` object must include all fields used:** mode, phase, paused, time, playTime, score, best, lives, speed, bricks:[], balls:[], powerups:[], particles:[], floaters:[], bricksLeft, bricksTotal, smashed, wideUntil, serveT, serveMax, shake, flash, aiErr, endT, newBest.

**Order of script:** define constants, DOM refs, helpers, state, functions, listeners, init. Function declarations hoisted so order flexible; const refs must precede use at call-time (init at bottom) ✓.

**Let me also add `cursor:none` while playing? Skip.**

One more requirement re-read: "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)." ✓ — icons visible on bricks (badge + glyph), drop capsule, catch → effects. Tough power-up bricks ('w','m') drop after 2 hits ✓.

"The ball must never pass through bricks or the paddle." ✓ substep + resolve.

"Particles when a brick breaks." ✓

"3 lives, score displayed." ✓

"Game over and victory screens with a restart option." ✓

"Paddle controlled with mouse and left/right arrow keys." ✓

"Bounce angle depends on hit position." ✓

"6+ rows mixing normal & 2-hit bricks that visibly crack." ✓ 7 rows, tough = 2 hits, cracks drawn + darker.

Demo mode auto-play with click/key message ✓.

I think we're solid. Let me also add a tiny "LEVEL 01" text inside canvas top-left corner? HUD has enough. Maybe draw subtle "NEON BREAKER" watermark? skip — clean.

Actually, one nice in-canvas touch: bottom "danger" line? A faint red line at bottom edge? Skip.

Let me now also verify the `stats` row won't overflow at 940: logo ~200px + 4 stats (~86 each=344) + chips (appear) ~120 → ~660 ✓ fits.

At 375: logo 130 + stats wrap → stats row itself: 4 stats ~70 each = 280 + gaps ~ 300 > 352? tight: stats flex-wrap ✓ wraps to 2 rows of 2. Set `.stats{flex-wrap:wrap; justify-content:center;}` and allow hud wrap. ✓

Font sizes on stats at small: reduce via media query ✓.

Also `.hud` at top of frame — width = frame width ✓.

**Write the code now.** I'll aim for clean, commented sections. Estimate ~750 lines. Let me write carefully, then mentally lint.

One more subtle thing: `ctx.setTransform(canvas.width/W, ...)` — if canvas.width is 0 (display:none?) stage always visible ✓.

Also `resize()` — also handle `ResizeObserver`? resize event enough (window resize changes frame width via vw/vh). Also DPR change (zoom) triggers resize event ✓.

**Potential issue: `min()` with `vh` inside — when browser zoomed, fine.**

**Final check on LEVEL rows & power-up spread:**

r0 "############" — 12 ✓ all tough steel.
r1 "..W..#...M.." — chars: [.,.,W,.,.,#,.,.,.,M,.,.] len 12 ✓
r2 ".#..m...W.#." — [.,#,.,.,m,.,.,.,W,.,#,.] 12 ✓
r3 "...#..M..#.." — 12 ✓
r4 ".W...#....w." — 12 ✓
r5 "...M...#...." — 12 ✓
r6 "..#...W..m.." — 12 ✓

Power-ups: W: r1c2, r2c8, r4c1, r6c6 (4 normal-wide); M: r1c9, r3c6, r5c3 (3 normal-multi); m: r2c4, r6c9 (2 tough-multi); w: r4c10 (1 tough-wide). Total 10 (5 wide, 5 multi) ✓ nice.

Tough count: r0:12 + r1c5 + r2c1,c10 + r3c3,c9 + r4c5 + r5c7 + r6c2 = 12+1+2+2+1+1+1 = 20 tough (incl. 3 tough-PU). Normal = 64. ✓

Points total if all destroyed: 64*50 + tough(17 non-PU *120 + 3 PU-tough *150) + PU-normal 7*80 + catches... = 3200 + 2040+450 + 560 + ... ~6-7k + bonuses. Fine.

**Now — also confirm ball can't get stuck bouncing horizontally between side walls above bricks: minVyGuard ensures ≥0.18 vertical ✓.

**Ball hitting brick from below at row bottom-most (r6 bottom y=260): resolve down ✓.

**Ball squeezed between paddle and wall corner:** paddle clamp keeps paddle inside walls (4px margin); ball at wall x=8; paddle half ~56 → paddle.x min = 60; ball at x=8 near paddle left edge: |8-60|=52 < 56+5.6 ✓ bounce with rel=(8-60)/56=-0.93 → steep angle up-left... dx=sin(-56°)=-0.83 → heads left, immediately wall-bounced → dx flips right. OK escapes.

Alright. Also **`brickCheck` early-out**: `if (state.bricksLeft===0) return;`.

**Let me write the final HTML file.**

Also small detail: `<html lang="en">`, title "Neon Breaker — Brick Arcade".

Let me write CSS with care for the responsive breakpoints.

Additional: `:focus-visible` for button outline — accessibility: `.btn:focus-visible{outline:2px solid #9df6ff; outline-offset:2px;}` ✓.

Also `aria` bits: button label fine; overlays role="dialog"? Light touch: add aria-hidden toggling? Skip — keep code lean but I'll add `role="button"`-ish nothing. Fine.

Write time. I'll carefully produce the file.

Also remember: instructions say reply with exactly ONE fenced code block, nothing else. Language English around... just code block.

Let me write the whole thing now, double-checking syntax as I go.

Hmm — `.keys{display:none}` on mobile: but then start panel lacks control hints on mobile — fine, hint says click. Actually arrows keys irrelevant on touch; mouse too. Keep hidden.

The `<br>` before button after badge — if badge hidden, `<br>` adds a gap. Better: wrap badge & button in a div with flex column. Let me restructure: put badge inside a div. Actually simplest: badge `display:none` → `<br>` still creates line break with empty line — minor. Use `.badge{display:none}` and put `<br>` only... I'll instead make the badge element `visibility` handled: keep structure:

```
<div class="badge" id="bestBadge">NEW BEST</div>
<button ...>
```
Badge display:none removes from flow; no <br> needed since button is block-ish? button is inline-block; with margin-top it sits after badge. If badge shown, they'd be side by side... make `.btn{display:inline-block}` and badge inline — they'd be on one line. Use flex container? Simplest: wrap: `<div class="end-actions">` with `display:flex;flex-direction:column;align-items:center;gap:6px`. Do that.

Now the script. Let me write it fully with care.

```js
(() => {
'use strict';

/* ---------- Canvas & DOM ---------- */
const canvas = document.getElementById('game');
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
const stage = document.getElementById('stage');
const $ = id => document.getElementById(id);
const scoreEl = $('score'), bestEl = $('best'), bricksEl = $('bricks'),

      endScoreEl = $('endScore'), endBestEl = $('endBest'), endLine = $('endStats'),
      bestBadge = $('bestBadge'), againBtn = $('againBtn');

/* ---------- Tunables ---------- */
const W = 900, H = 620;
const COLS = 12, ROWS = 7;
const SIDE = 26, GAP = 6, BRICK_H = 24, ROW_H = BRICK_H + GAP, BRICK_TOP = 56;
const BRICK_W = (W - SIDE * 2 - GAP * (COLS - 1)) / COLS;
const PADDLE_Y = H - 44, PADDLE_H = 16, PADDLE_W = 112, PADDLE_W_WIDE = 178;
const BALL_R = 8;
const MAX_BOUNCE = Math.PI / 3;
const BASE_SPEED = 360, DEMO_SPEED = 400, MAX_SPEED = 560;

const LEVEL = [
  '############',
  '..W..#...M..',
  '.#..m...W.#.',
  '...#..M..#..',
  '.W...#....w.',
  '...M...#....',
  '..#...W..m..',
];
const ROW_COLORS = [
  ['#ff7a7a','#e03131'], ['#ffb15e','#e8590c'], ['#ffe066','#f59f00'],
  ['#8ce99a','#37b24d'], ['#74c0fc','#1c7ed6'], ['#b197fc','#6741d9'],
  ['#faa2c1','#d6336c'],
];
const STEEL = ['#c6cfdd','#6b7490'];
```

Wait — ROW_COLORS indexes match rows 0..6, but row 0 is all steel (tough), so red unused? Row0 all '#' → tough → STEEL. ROW_COLORS[0] red used for... r1's normals? No — r1 normals use ROW_COLORS[1] orange. So red never used. Shift palette: assign normal bricks color by row as-is; row0 red unused — harmless, or map normal bricks of row r to ROW_COLORS[r]. Keep — no bug, just unused red. Actually let me make row 0 not ALL tough to show red? Design decision: full steel top row looks good (armored shield). But then the top row color variety: rows 1-6 = orange,yellow,green,blue,violet,pink — nice rainbow. Red unused — fine, or reorder so orange..pink + use red somewhere... it's fine.

Wait — `togglePause` used before definition in listeners — function declaration hoisted within the IIFE ✓ (I'm declaring all with `function` keywords; listeners reference at call time anyway).

One catch: `pointerdown` with `e.preventDefault()` — on some browsers this prevents subsequent 'click' on button? preventDefault on pointerdown does NOT prevent click (it prevents default actions like focus/drag, click still fires). ✓ Actually per spec, preventDefault on pointerdown prevents "default actions" including... compatibility mouse events for touch; click still dispatched for mouse. For touch, pointerdown preventDefault may suppress compat events & click? On touch, click generally still fires after tap unless preventDefault on touchstart... With Pointer Events, canceling pointerdown suppresses the compatibility mouse events (mousedown etc.) — and click? Chrome still fires click after pointerdown canceled? Hmm — risk: PLAY AGAIN button on touch might not fire click. Safer: don't preventDefault when target is the button, or attach restart to pointerdown on the end overlay anyway (already done via stage handler) — the stage pointerdown already restarts on over/win! So even if the button's click never fires, restart happens via stage pointerdown ✓. The button exists for affordance. Good — remove risk.

But wait — the stage pointerdown restart happens BEFORE button click; then click fires resetMatch again — double. Harmless as established.

Also `e.preventDefault()` in stage pointerdown prevents focus — good for space key.

Another catch: `stage.addEventListener('pointerdown')` — the pause overlay click → togglePause ✓ (paused check before). 

Edge: clicking during 'win' confetti before endShown → ignored ✓ then Space works after overlay. Also pointerdown after endShown ✓.

**Check `beginGame` from keydown 'r'?** In demo, 'r' → beginGame ✓ fine.

**Now — syncChips touches `multiN` inside `.chip.multi` — the chip markup: `MULTIBALL <b id="multiN">×3</b>` — b default bold ✓ styled by chip font. `<b>` inside span chip — chip has font shorthand; b inherits. OK.

**`chipWide` markup has text "WIDE" then bar — `<span class="ic"></span>WIDE<span class="bar"><i id="wideBar"></i></span>` — chip display:inline-flex align center gap 8 ✓.

**Now verify canvas backing: initial attribute width=900 height=620 — resize() overrides. If rect valid at script run (yes) → backing set properly. Also frameCount<=3 resize re-checks. ✓

**drawImage(bg,0,0,W,H)** — bg internal 1800×1240, dest rect W×H in user units → transform scales to full canvas ✓.

**Check `ctx.letterSpacing='3px'` then '0px'** — if unsupported (older), ignored silently (property assignment on object — canvas context is a platform object; assigning unknown property... actually ctx is a native object; assigning a property it doesn't support — for native objects with no setter, assignment in sloppy mode fails silently, in strict mode throws TypeError! I'm in 'use strict' inside IIFE. Hmm: `ctx.letterSpacing='3px'` — in Chrome 99+ this is a real accessor (CanvasRenderingContext2D.letterSpacing) → fine in latest Chrome (requirement: latest Chrome). Since environment is guaranteed latest Chrome, safe. But to be extra defensive I could guard: `if ('letterSpacing' in ctx)`. Cheap — add guard. Do:

```
if ('letterSpacing' in ctx){ ctx.letterSpacing='3px'; }
```
and reset similarly. I'll write a tiny helper or inline twice. Inline with condition — but then reset also conditional. Simplify: wrap in helper `setLS(v){ if ('letterSpacing' in ctx) ctx.letterSpacing=v; }`. OK.

**`Math.imul` in mulberry32 ✓.**

**`makeCracks` seed: `(b.seed*1013)|0` — seed up to 6*37+11*11+5=222+121+5=348; *1013=352k — int ✓.

**Potential NaN: `atan2(src.dy,src.dx)` with 0,0? serve ball dy=-1 ✓ not both 0.

**demoControl when phase==='run' but balls empty (just lost, before loseLife next line?) — loseLife called immediately after loop in same update, but demoControl runs before ball loop in same frame — balls could be empty from previous frame? No: loseLife/respawn happens same frame balls empty → balls always ≥1 entering update. ✓ Actually sequence: frame N: ball lost → loseLife → respawn (balls=[serve]) → frame N+1 fine.

**One more: `update()` — when phase 'serve' and mode demo, demoControl centers paddle; ball glued ✓; serveT ticks → launch ✓.

**`launch()` in demo — balls[0].sp=state.speed ✓.

**Check brick gradient: bricks static, gradient coords absolute user space — drawn under transform with shake translate → gradient translated identically ✓ (gradient is applied in current user space at fill time — wait, is that right? Canvas spec: gradients are in the coordinate space *at the time of painting* — yes, "the gradients are positioned in the current user space at the time the gradient is used". ✓ so shake moves gradient with brick correctly. 

**Colors `rgba(...,.32)` etc fine.

**`drawBadge` pulse calc: .5+.45*(0.5+0.5*sin) → range .5..0.95 ✓.

**Particles color for brick break uses ROW_COLORS[b.row][0] — row index max 6 ✓.

**Particles for crack: gray.

**Ball loss threshold `b.y-BALL_R>H+6` → center >634 ✓ below view.

**Paddle region: y 576..592; canvas 620 — below paddle 28px ✓.

**Floater positions near paddle ✓.

**Check `endLine` id name — I used `endStats` earlier as id; renamed to endLine to avoid confusion with endStatsEl. In HTML: `<div class="end-line" id="endLine">`. JS: `const endLine = $('endLine')`. ✓ consistent.

**bestBadge display inline-block via style — CSS `.badge{display:none}` then style.display='inline-block' overrides ✓; reset to 'none' ✓.

**end-actions wrapper for badge+button:**

```
<div class="end-actions">
  <span class="badge" id="bestBadge">NEW BEST</span>
  <button class="btn" id="againBtn" type="button">PLAY AGAIN</button>
</div>
```
`.end-actions{display:flex;flex-direction:column;align-items:center;gap:4px;margin-top:14px}` and remove badge margin-top. Button margin-top:0 (keep 18px on actions wrapper). Adjust CSS: `.badge{...}` no margin; `.btn{margin-top:6px}`.

**subhint below.**

**Now HTML stat "BRICKS" initial 84 — synced by startDemo ✓.

**Initial HUD lives: startDemo → syncHUD sets dots ✓.

**Start overlay visible at load ✓; demo runs behind ✓. Screenshot ~3s: bricks + AI playing + overlay. ✓

**Does anything render before first rAF? Canvas painted by first frame ~16ms ✓.

**Fonts: HUD uses var(--mono) — 'Cascadia Mono' etc.

**Check CSS var in `font` shorthand again: `font:800 19px/1 var(--mono);` — the font shorthand requires a family; var substitution happens at computed-value time — valid. Chrome supports var() in shorthand. ✓ (Commonly used.)

**`.chip .bar i` uses id wideBar — `i` element with display block ✓.

**Careful: `.chip` has font shorthand; the `b` inside chipMulti inherits. `multiN` `×3` ✓. The `×` char is U+00D7 (fine, not emoji).

**HUD `.stat .v` line-height 1 vs dots height 17 — dots inside `.v` with height 17 vs font 17 line 1 — set `.stat .v{display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;height:17px}`? Simpler: `.dots` inline-flex height 17 aligns within line box... minor. Set `.stat .v{line-height:17px}` fine. I'll set `.stat .v{font:700 17px/17px ...}`.

**Edge — `min()` CSS with three args incl. calc — ✓.

**body overflow-x hidden; frame centered; at 375 no h-scroll ✓.

**One more possible pitfall: `aspect-ratio:900/620` — supported ✓.

**`touch-action:none` on stage — allows pointermove control on touch without scrolling ✓.

**Now — "Games must start in a self-playing demo mode behind a 'Click or press a key to start' message" ✓ exactly implemented.

**"iframe only receives keyboard events after the user clicks it: if the demo uses the keyboard, display a clear message" ✓ — our start overlay shows the message; after click, keys work.

Let me reconsider the demo AI competence once more. Ball speed 400 → prediction: AI sits at predicted x. aiErr ±22 constant between paddle hits — paddle half-width 56 (normal) — always intercepts. Wide paddle even easier. Misses essentially never → lives never lost in demo → fine (game over screen only in real play). But wait: multiball in demo: 3 balls; AI tracks the *lowest descending*; the other two can be lost — eventually attrition to 1 ball. Also during serve... fine.

But there's a subtle demo issue: with prediction t up to ~1.5s and ball bouncing off bricks mid-flight changing trajectory — AI recalculates every frame (prediction from current state) → paddle may lag/jitter chasing changing predictions, capped at 640 px/s — looks natural (tracking). ✓

Another: prediction only accounts for wall bounces, not brick bounces — after brick hit, prediction jumps; paddle speed 640 covers ~900px in 1.4s — fine.

**Demo wide power-up catch**: when no ball descending, chase capsule — but that moment is rare (ball descending most of the time). Ball descending ~50% of time... When ball is above paddle going up (after bounce) — that's when capsule chance happens. Ball rising from paddle to bricks takes ~0.6-1s at speed 400 (distance ~300-500px / 400 = 0.75-1.2s). Capsules fall 300-500px at ~95-205 px/s → 2-4s. So AI has decent windows. ✓ Demo will show power-ups within ~10-30s. Requirement "everything interesting visible within first seconds" — main action (ball, bricks, particles, crack) immediate. Power-ups soon after. Also the start panel itself displays the two power-up pills legend — visible instantly. Good enough. 

Actually, to guarantee a power-up drop very early in demo, I could bias the demo serve angle toward bricks with power-ups... overkill. Alternatively make first demo launch angle aimed at r1c2 'W' brick: launch angle from paddle center to that brick: brick at col2: x = 26+2*(65.17+6)=26+142.3=168.3+32.6=200.9 center; y=56+30+12=98. Paddle x=450,y=576. Direction (200.9-450, 98-576)=(-249,-478) → angle atan2(-478,-249)... normalized dx=-0.46,dy=-0.88. But launch happens from wherever paddle is (center W/2 ✓). It would hit top area — passing through rows? Ball travels up-left, first brick row it meets is bottom-most row in its path (row 6 at y 236..260, col?) — it'll hit some brick in rows 4-6 along the diagonal, not necessarily the W brick. Eh — not worth precision; random ±17° is fine.

Hmm, actually let me consider making demo slightly more aggressive: speed 400 gives lively look ✓.

**Now, `state.aiErr` initial 0 ✓.

**Font sizes in floaters scale with canvas logical size; when canvas displayed small (352px), 13px logical → 5px actual — tiny but readable-ish; fine.

**Also add `image-rendering`? no.

**Potential issue: `ctx.strokeText` with letterSpacing set? floaters don't set letterSpacing (reset to 0 after serve hint) ✓.

**Order check in render: bg → stars → bricks → powerups → paddle → balls → particles → floaters ✓.

Let me also double check `drawServeHint` — during serve, drawServeHint called AFTER ctx.restore() (unshaken) ✓ uses W/2 etc ✓.

**`state.serveMax` for demo set 0.75 — but drawServeHint only in game mode ✓.

**Chips: in game serve with wide active from previous life — wideUntil persists across respawn (time-based) ✓ chip shows ✓.

**R restart during serve → resetMatch ✓ fine.

**Enter key: also restarts — but if focus on button, Enter triggers click → stopPropagation + resetMatch; plus window handler Enter → resetMatch (phase over & endShown) — double, harmless.

Hmm wait, after endShown and overlay visible, phase is 'over'; window Enter handler: `(state.phase==='over'||...) && endShown` → resetMatch ✓.

**During 'win' phase with endShown, pressing 'r' → resetMatch ✓.

**What about pressing 'p' during 'over'? togglePause gated to serve/run ✓ no-op.

**Pause overlay shows kbd P inside `.pause-sub` ✓.

**visibilitychange auto-pause: after auto-pause, when user returns they must press P or click — overlay says so ✓. But note: clicking to resume — stage pointerdown → paused → togglePause ✓.

**Now, one more design consideration for judging: the game canvas at 1280×800 shows ~914×630 — nice big. HUD header above ✓.

**Check the `.frame` gap and help footer existence — fine.

**A11y: button has text ✓.

**Now compile mental checklist of every id used in JS vs HTML:**
- game ✓, stage ✓, score ✓, best ✓, bricks ✓, livesDots ✓, chipWide ✓, wideBar ✓, chipMulti ✓, multiN ✓, startOverlay ✓, endOverlay ✓, pauseOverlay ✓, endKicker ✓, endTitle ✓, endScore ✓ (el id="endScore"; JS endScoreEl), endBest ✓, endLine ✓, bestBadge ✓, againBtn ✓.

All present.

**JS references before definition:** Everything inside IIFE; function declarations hoisted; consts defined top-down; the only immediate executions: bg paint IIFE, stars init, then at bottom resize(); startDemo(); rAF. startDemo calls buildLevel (hoisted func) → uses ctx (defined), state (defined above it? state const declared before... order in file: canvas/ctx/DOM consts → tunables → state/paddle/keys → helpers → bg → stars → functions... startDemo called at very bottom → all consts initialized ✓.

But careful: `brickGrad` uses `ctx.createLinearGradient` — ctx defined ✓.

**`const state` uses `DEMO_SPEED` — defined above ✓.

**`paddle` uses W/2 ✓.

**`resize` uses canvas ✓.

One more: in `update`, `updatePowerups` gated `if (state.phase==='run')` — but phase could have just changed to 'serve' via loseLife — capsule cleared anyway ✓. And if phase changed to 'win' via levelCleared → powerups cleared ✓.

**Also in the ball loop: after `moveBall`, ball might be spliced; loop uses index i descending ✓ safe.

**`state.balls[i].y` after moveBall — ball object still valid ✓.

Now, "victory screens" — the win overlay: "LEVEL CLEARED" ✓ with stats & PLAY AGAIN ✓.

**One more requirement nuance: "mixing normal bricks and tougher bricks that need 2 hits and visibly crack after the first one" — ✓ cracks + darker tint + particles.

**"Some bricks visibly carry a power-up icon" ✓ badge with glyph, pulsing.

Great. Let me also add subtle idle animation to bricks? No — static bricks fine, badges pulse.

**Double-check `paddleBounce` guard `if (b.y+BALL_R < PADDLE_Y) return;` — triggers when ball bottom at/above... wait we want trigger when ball bottom reaches paddle top: condition to SKIP is when bottom < top (hasn't reached). ✓ Then second skip: ball top > paddle bottom+6 (fully below). ✓.

**Serve ball glue y = PADDLE_Y-BALL_R-1 → bottom = PADDLE_Y-1 < top → no immediate bounce ✓ (also dy=-1 up anyway).

**After launch, ball moves up; returns down; bounce ✓.

**Ball speed increase per brick: all balls renormalized — including serve ball? During run only; serve ball sp set at launch ✓.

**MAX check: speed 360+3*84=612 → capped 560 ✓.

**Now — performance: 84 bricks × (2-4 path fills + strokes) ≈ 300 draw ops + particles — 60fps easy.

**One more: `ctx.setTransform` each render — includes dpr scaling ✓; `ctx.save/restore` inside ✓.

**`render` runs even while paused ✓ (rAF continues; overlay dim via DOM).

**Pause: shake uses Math.random each render — while paused shake is 0 mostly ✓.

**Check: on 'over', balls empty; `for of state.balls` no-op ✓; paddle drawn ✓.

Also small thing — on `over`, `syncChips` active=false → chips hidden ✓.

**Floater 'GAME OVER' at H/2-16 size 26 — canvas 620 → y 294 ✓.

**celebrate spawn positions y 60..270 across brick field ✓ 120 particles.

I think the design is complete. Let me also double check the `.overlay` z-index vs `.stage::after` (z 4) — overlays z 6 ✓ above scanlines; canvas z auto (0) ✓; scanlines above canvas but below overlays — scanlines over canvas game ✓ subtle.

Also start overlay has `backdrop-filter: blur(2.5px)` — blurs canvas behind ✓ nice frosted.

**Hmm: `backdrop-filter` on overlay with opacity transition — fine.

**Panel `animation: rise .5s ease both` — runs when page loads even for hidden overlays? endOverlay initially has class hidden (opacity 0) — animation still runs on load (invisible) — when later shown, animation already finished (panel static). Slight loss of entrance animation for end panel. Could add animation to .overlay:not(.hidden) .panel — animations restart when class changes? Removing/adding hidden doesn't restart animation. Trick: when showing end overlay, also re-trigger by... skip - fine.

Actually easy trick: define animation on `.overlay .panel` but end overlay starts hidden; the animation plays once at load regardless. To get entrance when shown, I can toggle a `pop` class via JS... minor polish; skip — the overlay opacity transition (0.35s) already provides fade-in.

**Font of big-title uses letter-spacing .12em — "NEONBREAKER" — wait markup: `NEON<b>BREAKER</b>` — with letter-spacing there's spacing between N and B — looks fine ("NEON BREAKER" visual). Add a thin space? Use `NEON <b>BREAKER</b>` with regular space — fine.

Header logo `NEON<b>BREAKER</b>` similarly.

**OK also confirm: no emoji anywhere ✓ (×, ·, ←, → are punctuation/symbols).

**The `.keys` uses ← → inside kbd ✓.

Let me now also think: could `Math.random()-0.5)*state.shake` with shake big (9) shift bricks visibly — yes intended, decays fast (0.002^dt → per second factor 0.002 → after 0.3s ~0.13 → shake 1.2 → 0.1 cutoff quickly) ✓.

**flash decay 1.5/s → 0.66s ✓.

**paddle.flash 3.5/s ✓.

Alright — also verify no leftover references: `state.aiErrT` unused — removed ✓ (I declared aiErr only in state; update: state includes aiErr ✓).

`usingKeys` reset on pointermove — but pointermove fires on any mouse movement even over overlays — during 'over' phase moving mouse sets mouseX — harmless.

**Now, one last completeness check on requirement "One level with at least 6 rows of bricks" — 7 rows ✓ single level ✓.

"power-up ... gives either a wider paddle (10 seconds)" ✓ exactly 10s.

"or multi-ball (3 balls)" ✓ caps at 3.

Everything checks. Now write final file cleanly. I'll also add small code comments.

One more thought on `e.preventDefault()` in keydown for `' '` — prevents page scroll ✓ and button space-activation (good — avoids double restart via focused button; but we blur the button anyway).

Also `againBtn` click — stopPropagation stops... stage listener is pointerdown (already ran). The click listener on window? none. fine.

Wait, one more potential double-restart path: endShown, user presses SPACE → resetMatch (phase→serve). Space keyup... no other handlers. ✓

And after resetMatch, if the user holds SPACE (auto-repeat keydown) → each repeat: phase 'serve' → launch()! Auto-repeat of Space during serve launches ball quickly — that's fine/intended (launch on space).

Hmm but immediately after restart via SPACE, the SAME keydown event already handled (restart), returns — next repeat (~30ms later) phase serve → launch — ball launches almost instantly. Slightly abrupt but acceptable. Actually to be nicer: in the restart branch, set a tiny cooldown: `state.serveT` starts 1.5 — launching at 30ms after restart is basically instant serve. Meh — acceptable; player pressed space twice-ish (auto-repeat). Actually auto-repeat requires holding ≥~500ms. A user tapping space once → restart only. OK fine.

Similarly pointerdown restart then click... no launch issue (pointerdown launches only in serve — click doesn't launch; pointerdown already consumed). Wait — stage pointerdown when phase==='serve' → launch! Sequence: user clicks PLAY AGAIN → stage pointerdown (phase over) → resetMatch → phase serve; then click event → nothing. ✓ good. But what about: resetMatch via pointerdown, then user clicks again quickly to launch ✓ natural.

Double-check the earlier double-restart concern: pointerdown → resetMatch#1; click on button → its handler resetMatch#2 — serveT reset to 1.5 again — fine.

**Final code assembly.** Also include `<noscript>`? unnecessary.

Also — the task says output only the code block, no extra text. And no `#` heading start. ✓

Let me write it all out now carefully, keeping syntax valid. I'll be careful with template literals — I used string concat in places; fine either way. Backticks inside code block OK.

Also one detail: in `syncChips` I use `chipMulti` — CSS class `.chip.multi` — the element has classes "chip multi" ✓.

In CSS I wrote `.chip.wide{...}` and element `class="chip wide"` ✓.

Let me also reconsider: `.stat .v` for lives contains `.dots` — `<span class="v">` containing `<span class="dots">` with 3 `<i>` ✓.

`livesDots.children` — children of the dots span = 3 <i> ✓.

Now — write. Also I should double check `resize()` early return if rect < 2 — then canvas.width stays initial 900 (attribute) — render transform canvas.width/W=1 → still renders logically ✓ (slightly blurry if CSS bigger, but that case won't happen since stage always laid out).

Actually there's a subtle first-call issue: script runs before CSS aspect-ratio applied? Layout computed on getBoundingClientRect call — CSS parsed in head ✓. Fine.

Also `frameCount<=3` re-resize covers font-load layout shifts (none, system fonts).

Alright, final answer time. Let me carefully write out everything, reviewing syntax line by line as I go.

Additional tiny fix: in `drawServeHint` I reference `setLS` helper — define:

```
function setLS(v){ if ('letterSpacing' in ctx) ctx.letterSpacing=v; }
```

In drawServeHint: `setLS('3px')` ... `setLS('0px')` inside save/restore — note: does ctx.save/restore include letterSpacing? Yes, letterSpacing is part of drawing state (spec) — restore resets it anyway. Keep both.

Also `ctx.lineCap` set 'round' in serve hint — inside save/restore ✓.

Let me write the document now.

Also let me reconsider the header stat min-width 78 with BRICKS showing up to "84" ✓.

Final check of the update loop's early-return placement: particles/floaters update before phase check ✓; but `syncChips` in render always ✓.

Also — during 'demo', `state.playTime` not accumulated (only game) ✓ endStats only in game ✓.

Write out. I'll count LEVEL strings once more when writing.

One more: `const COLS=12, ROWS=7;` and LEVEL has 7 strings of 12 — buildLevel loops r<ROWS, c<COLS ✓.

Also in `buildLevel`, `LEVEL[r][c]` ✓.

Also — hmm, `BRICK_W = (900 - 52 - 66)/12 = 782/12 = 65.1667`. Positions: SIDE + c*(71.1667). Last brick x = 26+11*71.1667=808.83, +65.17=874 → right margin 26 ✓ symmetric.

**paddleBounce particles color '#a7ecff' ✓.

Now writing final. For safety in strict mode: all variables declared ✓. No `with`, no eval ✓.

Also I use `e.key==='Enter'` — fine.

Also should I preventDefault on Enter? Not needed.

Also note: `window.addEventListener('keydown', ...)` — when iframe not focused, no events — fine, demo runs.

Also, the sandbox may block pointer events? No, pointer events fine.

Let me finalize CSS media query small tweaks: at ≤600px, `.frame{gap:8px}`, `.hud{gap:6px}`.

Also add `.stage` cursor none during play? skip.

I also want a subtle border glow on stage when wide active? Over-engineering; skip.

Time to write the final response — one code block, complete file.

Let me write out the complete HTML mindfully:

(Also add `aria-label` on canvas? Not necessary.)

Final scan for stray issues while writing:

- In CSS `.stat .v{font:700 17px/17px var(--mono);...}` fine.
- `.dots i` transition ✓.
- `.help` footer.
- In JS, careful semicolons.

One more logic trace — demo start → phase 'serve', serveT=.75, balls=[serve]; update: demoControl → serve branch → tx=W/2, paddle centers; serve ball glued at paddle.x (which animates toward 450 — already 450) ✓; serveT hits 0 → launch → phase 'run' → balls move; brickCheck etc.

Trace first brick hit: ball rises, hits row6 brick bottom (y=236..260): oy small → resolve y down, dy flips +, damage → row6 normal → destroyed, particles, +50 floater, speed 403... wait DEMO 400 → +3 → 403 ✓.

Ball eventually descends → paddleBounce with rel → up ✓ aiErr set ✓.

Power-up brick broken (e.g., r5 M at col3: x=26+3*71.17=239.5, y=56+5*30=206): capsule spawns at (272, 218) falls; when ball rising, AI chases; catch → applyPower 'multi' → balls 1→3 ✓ chip shows ×3 ✓.

All good. Edge: applyPower when phase 'run' only — catch check runs only in updatePowerups (run) ✓.

Another trace — wide catch: wideUntil=time+10; paddle.w eases 112→178 over ~0.3s; chip bar 100%→0 over 10s ✓; at expiry tw=112 eases back ✓.

Multi-ball ball loss: each frame loop removes fallen balls; when 1 left, chip hides ✓; 0 left → loseLife ✓.

Game over: lives 0 → phase over, floater, endT → 0.9s → showEnd → overlay ✓. Restart → resetMatch ✓.

Win: last brick → levelCleared → celebrate, +1000, phase win → 1.25s → showEnd ✓ 'LEVEL CLEARED' green ✓ stats 84/84, time ✓.

I'm confident. Writing final output now.

Length: ~800 lines — fine.

Wait, one more thing — the `endStats` text: `state.smashed+' / '+state.bricksTotal+' BRICKS · TIME '+fmtTime(state.playTime)` ✓.

And `endKicker` for win 'ALL BRICKS CLEARED', lose 'OUT OF BALLS' ✓.

Also `endTitle.classList.toggle('win', win)` — CSS `.end-title.win` ✓.

Also — `bestBadge` shown when newBest ✓; but `state.best` was updated live so endBest === score when newBest ✓.

Okay. Also let me make sure I don't use `state.smashed` in demo (irrelevant) ✓ reset in startDemo anyway.

Also HUD BEST during demo stays 0 ✓ (addScore only updates best in game mode ✓).

Writing now. For the code block, use ```html.

Let me also double check `spawnParticles` in `paddleBounce` — called during moveBall substeps — could be called multiple times if ball re-hits paddle in same frame? After bounce dy<0 → guard `if (b.dy>0)` prevents ✓.

`brickCheck` per substep — one brick max per substep ✓.

Also — `damageBrick` → `levelCleared` (phase 'win') while inside moveBall of ball A; ball B still processed in same frame's loop (moveBall runs — brickCheck finds none (bricksLeft 0 → early return) ✓; ball falls below? same frame — spliced; then `if (state.phase==='run' && balls.length===0)` — phase 'win' → skip loseLife ✓ 

Also `updatePowerups` gated to run — after win, cleared ✓.

Now — writing!

Actually, one more small aesthetic idea: show "DEMO" watermark text in canvas corner during demo so judges know it's AI? The start overlay already communicates. Add tiny text bottom-right in canvas during demo: `AI DEMO` faint — helpful. `if (state.mode==='demo') draw tiny 'AUTO-PLAY' bottom-left`. Sure, tiny 10px dim text at (14, H-14) left-bottom. But paddle area is bottom... text at bottom-left corner (x=16,y=H-12) — paddle y 576..592; H-12=608 below paddle — could overlap ball falling. It's faint (alpha .35) — fine. Add.

Final write.

Also careful: `ctx.font` for that: '700 10px ...' with letterSpacing 2px. Reset after. OK.

Counting braces carefully during write... I'll structure cleanly.

One more consideration — the `pointermove` on window updates mouseX even when pointer over HUD/header (outside canvas) — coordinates map across full W — paddle follows even when cursor above canvas — good UX (like classic).

Also during 'over', moving mouse — movePaddlePlayer not called (phase over returns before paddle control? Wait — update returns early for over/win BEFORE paddle control — yes ✓ paddle frozen on end screens. Good.

During 'serve', paddle control runs ✓ (player can position before launch; auto-launch timer).

Done. Write it.
