What it was asked

The prompt
Build a polished Snake game in a single HTML file using vanilla JavaScript and a <canvas>. Requirements: - A grid of at least 20×20 cells, centered on the page. - Arrow keys and WASD control the snake. Quick successive key presses must both be honored, but the snake can never reverse onto itself. - Eating food adds 10 points and grows the snake by one cell; new food never spawns on the snake. - Game over when the snake hits a wall or itself, with an overlay showing the score; Space or Enter restarts, P pauses. - Visual polish: smooth movement, a snake with a distinct head and eyes facing its direction, and a small particle burst when eating. - Display the current score and the best score of the session.
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.

**Planning HTML output for game**

I'm designing an HTML file for a self-playing demo of a game. It should start automatically with a message prompting the user to click or press a key. I'll implement simple AI that moves toward food while avoiding walls and itself. For simplicity, I’ll use a greedy approach to choose directions that minimize the distance to food without hitting obstacles. The game will also support controls, display the score on game over, and allow for restarting the game. I'll use a grid size of 25x25 for performance!**Designing game mechanics**

I'm considering how to implement particle effects when the snake eats, generating small particles from its head. I need to track the best score during a session, keeping it stored in a variable. After clicking the canvas, I’ll start listening for key events and display a "Click to start" overlay. I must keep everything self-contained with inline CSS and JavaScript. I’ll manage the snake’s direction to avoid reversing and set rules for food spawning and particle generation during the game. It sounds fun to animate everything with a tick every 120ms!**Implementing game score display**

I'm planning to display the current score and the best score. When the game is over, I'll show an overlay that includes both scores and a restart button that can be activated with Space or Enter. There will be a "Click to start" overlay until the game begins, which starts with any key press or the Space bar. If the game is paused, movement will stop, but rendering will continue, and I'll display a "Paused" message. I'll keep the best score in memory since I'm not allowed to use localStorage. Let's get coding!
