Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Aces of the Sky: Epic Dogfights**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** "Mobile Realistic." Aim for a high-fidelity look using PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials but with optimized geometry. The aesthetic should match the "Golden Hour" lighting of the reference image (warm sunlight, long shadows). * **Player Asset:** A modern jet fighter (resembling an F-22 or F-35) with low-poly geometry (approx. 1000-1500 triangles). Include a glowing engine exhaust shader effect. * **Enemy Assets:** * *Standard:* Low-poly enemy jets and attack helicopters. * *Boss:* A massive, low-poly Zeppelin or Flying Fortress Warship with multiple destroyable turrets. * **Environment:** * **Skybox:** High-resolution HDRI skybox featuring dramatic cumulonimbus clouds and a sunset palette. * **Ocean:** A flat plane with a performant custom shader to simulate water movement and reflection (using normal maps), placed far below the aircraft to give a sense of altitude. * **Clouds:** Use semi-transparent sprite particles (billboards) scattered in the distance to create depth without the heavy cost of volumetric clouds. * **VFX:** Use `Three.Sprite` for explosions and muzzle flashes. Implement `TrailRenderer` logic for missile smoke trails and wingtip vortices during high-G turns. * **Mobile Optimization:** Use `InstancedMesh` for projectiles and enemy swarms to reduce draw calls. Limit real-time shadows to the player aircraft only. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** An epic, driving orchestral-electronic hybrid track (similar to "Top Gun" anthems). It should have a high tempo to match the dogfight intensity. * **SFX:** * *Engine:* A constant looping jet turbine hum that increases in pitch when "Boost" is active. * *Combat:* heavy machine gun fire, missile "whoosh" launch sounds, and crunchy explosions. * *UI/Feedback:* A digital "Lock-on" beep when the crosshair hovers over an enemy. A warning alarm when the player takes damage. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic:** The game operates on a "Wave Survival" system. The player flies forward automatically (rail shooter style or free flight within bounds). * **Combat Logic:** * Player aims by steering the nose of the plane. * **Auto-fire or Manual:** Implement a primary machine gun that fires automatically when an enemy is within the crosshair reticle to simplify mobile play. * **Missiles:** Cooldown-based homing missiles for tougher enemies. * **Progression:** * *Wave 1-3:* Dogfights against swarms of small jets/helicopters. * *Wave 4 (Boss):* A giant Zeppelin appears. The player must dodge a "bullet hell" of incoming fire while targeting the Zeppelin's engines. * **Win/Loss:** * *Loss:* Player Health bar reaches 0. * *Win:* Defeat the Boss (or achieve a target High Score). ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation:** **Landscape Mode** (Locked). * **Touch Controls:** * **Steering (Left Half of Screen):** Implement a "Floating Virtual Joystick". Wherever the player touches on the left side becomes the center. Dragging steers the plane (pitch and yaw). * **Action Buttons (Right Half of Screen):** * **Boost Button:** A large circular button (min 60px) that increases speed and FOV (Field of View) for a "warp speed" effect while held. * **Missile Button:** A secondary button to launch special attacks. * **Camera:** Implement a "Chase Camera" with slight smooth damping (Lerp). The camera should lag slightly behind the plane during turns to impart a sense of weight and speed. * **Haptic & Visual Feedback:** * Trigger `navigator.vibrate(50)` on shooting and `navigator.vibrate(200)` when taking damage. * **Screen Shake:** Apply a subtle camera shake function when explosions occur nearby or when boosting. * **Damage indicator:** Flash a red vignette overlay on the screen edges when health is low. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
