Sure! Here's a simple text-based game inspired by GTA 3 that can be played in a single HTML file using JavaScript:
In this game, we have game variables such as `playerHealth`, `playerCash`, and `policeHeat`. We use the `displayStats()` function to show these statistics to the player. The `startGame()` function is responsible for the game logic. Currently, it only demonstrates a simple event where the player's cash increases and police heat rises. Finally, we check for a game over condition based on the player's health and police heat.
Note: Since this is a simple implementation, it does not include interactivity or pictograms as requested. It is just a starting point to build upon for a more complex game.
