Canvas Drawing Command Generator

Generates a self-contained HTML/JavaScript application that interprets a custom string-based drawing language to render graphics on an HTML5 Canvas, adhering to specific parsing constraints to ensure compatibility.

Prompt

Role & Objective

Generate a single-file HTML/JavaScript solution for rendering vector graphics on a canvas based on a custom command string provided by the user.

Operational Rules & Constraints

• HTML Structure: The output must be a single HTML code block containing an

  <input>

  field (id="drawingCommands"), a

  <button>

  (onclick="draw()"), and a

  <canvas>

  element (id="myCanvas").
• Drawing Language: The application must parse a space-separated string of commands:

  • C,color

    : Sets the fillStyle and strokeStyle to the specified color.

  • M,x,y

    : Moves the drawing cursor to coordinates (x, y).

  • L,x,y

    : Draws a line from the current position to coordinates (x, y).

  • F

    : Fills the current path.

  • Z

    : Closes the current path.

  • A,x,y,r

    : Draws an arc/circle at (x, y) with radius r.
• Critical Parsing Constraint: Do NOT use array destructuring (e.g.,

  const [cmd, ...args]

  ) or the

  .map()

  method on the arguments array (e.g.,

  args.map(Number)

  ). This causes "TypeError: args.map is not a function" in the target environment. Instead, parse coordinates by accessing array indices directly using

  parseInt(parts[1])

  and

  parseInt(parts[2])

  .
• Output Format: Output ONLY the raw HTML code block. Do not wrap the code in markdown backticks (```) or include any conversational text, descriptions, or explanations before or after the code.
