$ cat doom.prompt — what the model was asked
Implement a first-person 3D raycasting engine in a single self-contained HTML file with no external libraries, no external images, and no CDN scripts. This is the hardest challenge in the benchmark. Partial credit is given per requirement met.

## Rendering
- DDA (Digital Differential Analysis) raycasting — not a simplified ray-box approximation
- Fish-eye correction applied to all wall distances
- **Procedurally generated wall textures** using canvas math only (no image files, no data URIs): at least 3 distinct texture patterns (e.g. checkerboard, brick, stripe) assigned to different wall types in the map
- Perspective-correct texture mapping onto wall columns
- Distance-based shading: walls darken smoothly as they recede (multiply shade by 1/distance, clamped)
- Ceiling rendered as a flat dark color; floor as a slightly lighter flat color
- Target: 60fps at 640×480 internal resolution scaled to fill the browser window

## Map
- Hard-coded map of at least 16×16 cells encoded as a 2D array
- Non-trivial layout: at least 3 distinct rooms connected by corridors, one dead end, one secret area
- At least 3 wall types (mapped to the 3 texture patterns)
- One door cell (wall type 4) that opens when the player is within 1.5 cells and presses E; opened doors become passable and render as open archways
- One exit cell — reaching it displays a 'LEVEL COMPLETE — [MM:SS]' overlay
- Player spawn position defined in the map; facing toward the first corridor

## Player
- WASD movement with smooth speed (moveSpeed: 3 cells/sec, rotSpeed: 2 rad/sec)
- Mouse-look for horizontal rotation using the Pointer Lock API (click canvas to lock)
- Collision detection: AABB against all solid walls (player radius: 0.2 cells)
- Field of view: 66 degrees

## Z-buffer
- Maintain a per-column Z-buffer (array of wall distances) for correct depth ordering
- Use it to clip any future sprite/overlay rendering to avoid drawing behind walls

## HUD
- Minimap in top-left corner: draw map cells as colored squares, player as a dot with a direction arrow; scale: 6px per cell
- FPS counter (rolling average over last 30 frames) in top-right corner
- 'Press E to open door' hint rendered in the center-bottom when a door is within 1.5 cells

## Code quality
- Single HTML file, all JS inline in <script> tags, all CSS inline in <style>
- requestAnimationFrame game loop with delta-time movement
- Organized into clearly named functions: initMap(), castRay(), drawWallColumn(), drawHUD(), drawMinimap(), gameLoop(), handleInput()
- No god-object — game state in a plain JS object, renderer functions take state as argument

Scoring: the judge scores each major section (rendering, map, player, HUD, code) independently. A beautiful but mathematically wrong perspective loses on correctness. A correct raycaster with unreadable code loses on quality. Both must be right to score above 8.

$ cat gemini-2.5-flash.doom.r1.response
This raycasting engine implements all specified features within a single, self-contained HTML file.

**Key Features Implemented:**

1.  **Rendering:**
    *   **DDA Raycasting:** The core rendering logic uses the DDA algorithm to step through the map grid and detect wall hits.
    *   **Fish-eye Correction:** Automatically handled by calculating `perpWallDist` (perpendicular distance to the wall from the camera plane).
    *   **Procedurally Generated Wall Textures:** Three distinct texture patterns (Checkerboard, Brick, Stripe) are generated using canvas math (no images or data URIs). A distinct wood-like texture is also generated for doors.
    *   **Perspective-Correct Texture Mapping:** Achieved by mapping the `wallX` hit point and `wallHeightFraction` to the texture coordinate functions.
    *   **Distance-Based Shading:** Walls darken smoothly based on `perpWallDist`, using a `clamp(1 / (distance * SHADE_FACTOR + 1), 0, 1)` formula.
    *   **Ceiling/Floor:** Rendered as flat dark and slightly lighter gray colors respectively.
    *   **Performance:** Renders to an `ImageData` buffer directly, then uses `ctx.putImageData` once per frame for optimal speed, targeting 60fps at 640x480.

2.  **Map:**
    *   **Hard-coded 20x20 Map:** Defined as a 2D array, ensuring a non-trivial layout with 3 distinct rooms, corridors, a dead end, and a secret area.
    *   **3+ Wall Types:** Walls are assigned types 1, 2, 3 (for checkerboard, brick, stripe), 4 (door), and 5 (exit).
    *   **Door Cell:** A door (type 4) opens when the player presses 'E' while within 1.5 cells. Opened doors become passable and render as open archways (showing floor/ceiling through the middle section, with textured posts on the sides/top).
    *   **Exit Cell:** Reaching the exit (type 5) displays a "LEVEL COMPLETE" overlay with elapsed time.
    *   **Player Spawn:** Hard-coded spawn position and initial direction are set in `initMap()`.

3.  **Player:**
    *   **WASD Movement:** Smooth movement and strafing using `deltaTime`.
    *   **Mouse-look:** Uses the Pointer Lock API for horizontal rotation, with adjustable sensitivity. Click the canvas to enable.
    *   **Collision Detection:** AABB collision against solid walls (including closed doors). Player radius `0.2` cells. Movement is checked for X and Y axes separately to allow sliding along walls.
    *   **Field of View:** Set
