Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Bowman 2 Remastered". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: 2.5D Minimalist Aesthetic. Use an **Orthographic Camera** to mimic the classic flat side-scrolling look of the original game, but use 3D geometry for smoother animations. * **Characters**: Create low-poly "Stickman" models using thin 3D cylinders (black color). They should have distinct joints for animating drawing the bow. * **Environment**: * **Ground**: A simple, infinite flat green plane or box geometry. * **Background**: A clean gradient sky (white to light blue) or a parallax scrolling background with low-opacity distant mountains to add depth without distraction. * **VFX (Particles)**: * **Blood Effect**: Upon arrow impact with a character, emit a burst of small red cube particles that react to gravity and stick to the ground. * **Trajectory**: Use a `THREE.Line` or TrailRenderer to visualize the arrow's flight path. * **Optimization**: Use simple materials (`MeshLambertMaterial` or `MeshBasicMaterial`) to ensure 60FPS on mobile browsers. Avoid complex dynamic shadows; use simple "blob" shadows under characters. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: Minimalist "Zen" style ambient wind noise. No heavy melodic music to allow focus on aiming. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **UI**: Soft click sounds for menu selection. * **Bow Interaction**: A stretching sound (pitch-shifted up) as the player drags to charge power. * **Action**: A sharp "Thwip" sound on release. A whistling wind sound as the arrow travels. * **Impact**: A dull "thud" for ground hits, and a squishy wet impact sound for character hits. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic**: Turn-based artillery shooting (1v1). * **Sequence**: 1. **Input Phase**: Active player adjusts angle and power. 2. **Fire Phase**: Arrow launches affected by gravity and wind. Camera smoothly follows the arrow. 3. **Result Phase**: * **Hit**: Damage calculated based on body part (Head = Instant Kill/Critical, Body = Moderate Damage, Limbs = Low Damage). Spawn blood particles. * **Miss**: Arrow sticks into the ground. 4. **Turn Switch**: Camera pans back to the other opponent. * **Wind Factor**: Introduce a randomized "Wind" variable each turn that affects the arrow's X-axis velocity, requiring players to compensate. * **Game Over**: When one character's HP reaches 0, play a "ragdoll" collapse animation (or simple rotation) and show a "Player [X] Wins" overlay. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Control Scheme**: **"Slingshot" Drag Mechanism**. * Touch anywhere on the screen and drag strictly **opposite** to the aiming direction. * **Drag Distance** = Shot Power (clamped to a max value). * **Drag Angle** = Shot Angle. * **Visual Feedback**: * Display a dotted "prediction line" showing the first 1-2 seconds of the arrow's trajectory while dragging. * Display numeric values for "Angle" and "Power" near the character during the drag action for precision adjustments. * **UI/UX**: * **Orientation**: Landscape mode locked. * **Touch Targets**: Ensure all UI buttons (Pause, Reset) are at least 44x44 pixels. * **Haptic Feedback**: Trigger a short vibration (using `navigator.vibrate`) when the arrow hits the opponent. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
