Mine Cap
A lode-runner style dig-and-climb. Steer your hard-hat miner with WASD or the arrow keys (D-pad + DIG button on phones): walk off ledges, drop onto ladders, climb, and jump — and dig through the dirt with walking, Space, or by leaping into the ceiling. Gold nugges hide in the floor slabs; dig out every one to unlock the vault in the ceiling, then climb the ladder maze to it for a 500 bonus and the next, harder level. Rusty guards patrol the walk rows and dig through walls to chase you — stomp them from above for 50 points, or take a hit and lose a life (easy three, hard two). Score banks 10 per nugget, 50 per stomped guard, and 500 per cleared vault. Underground night look: beveled purple rock, speckled dirt, glowing pulsing gold, wooden ladders, and a locked red vault that turns green when open.

Hard constraints — the game will be embedded in a sandboxed iframe on a static gallery site, and a headless browser will screenshot it:
1. Output exactly ONE self-contained HTML file. All CSS and JS inline. Zero external requests: no CDNs, no external fonts, images, or sounds, no fetch/XHR/WebSocket. Any sound must be synthesized with WebAudio.
2. The iframe sandbox is "allow-scripts allow-pointer-lock" (plus an autoplay permission). So: no localStorage, cookies, or indexedDB (opaque origin — access throws); no popups, window.open, or navigation; no access to the parent page; alert()/prompt()/confirm() are silently blocked.
3. The playfield must be visible within 800 ms of load — that is when the screenshot is taken. No dead white screen. If there is a start screen, make it visually rich.
4. Controls: keyboard AND mouse must both work, plus on-screen touch buttons for phones. Call preventDefault() on game keys (arrows, space) so the page never scrolls.
5. The view is 16:9 and must scale to fill the viewport with no overflow or scrollbars.
6. Show a visible score. If the genre has a losing state, show a game-over screen with a restart (button and a key). Idle/clicker games skip game over but still need clear numeric feedback.
7. If you track a score, report it to the arcade shell so the player's best is remembered between visits: on every score change, call parent.postMessage({ source: "ai-arcade", type: "score", score: <number> }, "*"). It is safe to call it no matter what the parent does with it.
8. Keep it tiny: aim for under 400 lines, 60 fps, no frameworks. That 400-line target does not apply to 3D games — true 3D (a camera and perspective-projected world) or pseudo-3D (projected road/track, depth-sorted sprites) — which need their own software renderer and typically land at 800–1400 lines. The rest of this constraint still binds every game: 60 fps, no frameworks, no external assets, and no padding to reach a length.
9. Difficulty: the arcade shell passes the player's chosen difficulty as a URL query parameter. Read it with new URLSearchParams(location.search).get("difficulty") — the value is "easy", "medium", or "hard" (missing or unknown means "medium"). Make the three levels meaningfully different — speed, lives, enemy pressure, reaction time, whatever fits the genre; clicker/idle games with no losing state use starting resources and upgrade cost curves instead. Show the active level in the HUD. Without the parameter the game must be fully playable at its default (medium) tuning.
