Build a small, playable browser game inspired by "Pager Panic" (genre not listed).
Concept: *It's possible that whilst waiting for The Pitt S3, I've watched too much ER and that's why this game got made* It's a busy shift at this hospital but luckily you have your trusty pager to help steer you to the patients who need it most. You will get bleeped with an EXTENSION +….
Tech: use an HTML5 canvas with plain JavaScript for a simplified 2D learning remix; keep it to a single page that loads instantly with no login or install.
Controls (as seen on the original's screen): WASD to move, mouse to aim or look, Esc/P to pause. Show them on a short how-to-play screen.
Players: start single-player (the original's player count is not stated in its listing).
Steps: 1) get the core mechanic playable with placeholder shapes, 2) add win/lose conditions and restart, 3) polish feel, visuals and sound, 4) add your own twist (setting, character or one new rule).
Make it your own: don't copy the original's name, art, text or code.
