Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Archer Clash". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Hyper-casual, Low-poly 3D aesthetics similar to "Crowd City" or "Join Clash". Bright, saturated colors for units against a clean, low-contrast background. * **Character Models**: * **Player Army**: Low-poly archers in **Green** tunics with "Robin Hood" style feathered hats and simple bows. * **Enemy Army**: Identical models but in **Red** tunics. * **Neutral Wanderers**: Identical models in **Grey/White** (waiting to be recruited). * **Technical Optimization**: **Crucial:** Use `THREE.InstancedMesh` for rendering the armies. Do not create individual Mesh objects for every soldier to ensure 60FPS on mobile devices. * **Environment**: * A large, bounded arena. The ground should be a soft, matte beige or light cream color (as seen in the screenshot) to make the colorful units pop. * Apply subtle vertex displacement to the ground mesh to create the "rolling, hill-like" terrain described, but keep it flat enough for smooth navigation. * **Effects**: Simple trail renderers for arrows. "Poof" particle clouds when a unit is defeated. Soft dynamic shadows. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: An energetic, marching-band style track featuring snare drums and brass to evoke a lighthearted military feel. Loopable. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Movement**: A subtle, rhythmic rustling sound representing many footsteps. * **Combat**: "Thwip" sounds for arrows loosing, and specific "thud" sounds for impacts. * **Recruitment**: A satisfying high-pitched "ding" or "pop" when running into neutral units to add them to your army. * **Feedback**: A negative buzzer sound if the player is eliminated. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Start**: The player begins with a single "Hero" archer (or a small squad of 3). * **Growth (Recruiting)**: The player steers the squad into Grey (Neutral) units. Upon collision, neutrals instantly change color to Green and join the player's flock using a simplified Boids/Flocking algorithm to follow the leader. * **Combat Mechanics**: * **Auto-Attack**: When an enemy group enters a specific radius, the player's units automatically stop moving and fire arrows in arcs. * **Damage**: One hit = One kill. Units hit by arrows are removed from the `InstancedMesh`. * **Conquest**: If the player eliminates an enemy squad entirely, a percentage of their "spirits" (visualized as particles) fly to the player, spawning new units for the player (Looting troops). * **Boosters**: Randomly spawn "Speed Up" (Blue Bolt icon) and "Shield" (Yellow Bubble) items on the map. * **Win/Loss**: Game Over if the player's count drops to 0. Victory/High Score based on the size of the army gathered. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Control Scheme**: **Virtual Joystick** (Floating or fixed at bottom-center). The player controls the movement of the "Leader" unit; the rest of the army follows the leader with a slight delay/smoothing. * **Screen Orientation**: **Landscape Mode** is preferred to see more of the battlefield and incoming arrows. * **Camera**: Top-down isometric view (approx 60-degree angle). The camera must smoothly follow the center point of the player's army. As the army grows, the camera should slightly zoom out (FOV increase) to keep the whole squad in view. * **UI & Feedback**: * **Haptics**: Trigger `navigator.vibrate(20)` when a unit shoots or dies (if supported). * **HUD**: A large, bold number above the player's army showing current troop count. * **Mini-map**: A simple radar in the top-right corner showing dots for Player (Green), Enemy (Red), and Neutrals (White). Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
