Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Castle Wars: Voxel Defense**" (a 3D re-imagining of *Castle Wars: Middle Ages*). Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** "2.5D" Voxel Art aesthetic (similar to *Crossy Road* but side-scrolling). Use simple `THREE.BoxGeometry` to construct characters and environment to avoid external asset dependencies. * **Characters:** * **Player (Blue Knight):** A blocky character composed of blue and silver voxels (helm, armor). * **Enemy (Red Knight/AI):** Similar structure but red and dark grey. * **Environment:** * **Foreground:** A textured platform/bridge acting as the battlefield. * **Background:** A dynamic sunset gradient (warm yellow to orange) skybox with low-poly cloud meshes floating slowly. * **Castles:** Simple tower structures on the far left (Player Base) and far right (Enemy Base). * **VFX:** Pixelated particle explosions when blocks are destroyed or players are hit. * **Camera:** Orthographic Camera positioned for a side view (Platformer perspective), slightly elevated to show depth. * **Performance:** Use `InstancedMesh` if generating many blocks; keep shadow map resolution low for mobile optimization. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A heroic, upbeat 8-bit chiptune track simulating a medieval battle march (use a placeholder oscillator function or simple loop). * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Jump:** Short rising square wave. * **Attack:** White noise burst (sword swing) or high-pitch "pew" (arrow). * **Build:** A mechanical "clunk" sound. * **Hit/Damage:** A low-frequency crunch sound. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Objective:** Defeat the enemy AI knight or destroy the enemy castle core (a specific block in their base). * **Core Mechanics:** * **Combat:** Players can use melee (Sword) or ranged (Bow/Throwing). Holding the attack button charges a throw. * **Building:** Uniquely, the player can instantly spawn a "Block" (crate) to use as a shield against arrows or as a step to reach higher ground. Blocks have health and can be destroyed. * **Weapon Switching:** Cycle between Sword (high damage, short range) and Bow (low damage, long range). * **AI Behavior:** The Red Knight should have a simple state machine: Move towards player -> If close, Melee -> If far, Shoot Bow -> If low health, build block for cover. * **Win/Loss:** Deplete Enemy HP to win. Deplete Player HP to lose. Show a "Victory" or "Defeat" pixel-art style overlay. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation:** Landscape Mode (Fullscreen). * **Left Screen Area (Movement):** * **Virtual Joystick:** Floating joystick for Left/Right movement. * **Aiming:** If using the Bow, the joystick angle subtly influences trajectory. * **Right Screen Area (Actions):** Create a cluster of large, distinct buttons (min 44px touch target). * **Button A (Big):** Jump. * **Button B (Big):** Attack (Tap for slash, Hold & Release for throw). * **Button C (Small):** Build Block (places a crate directly in front). * **Button D (Icon):** Switch Weapon. * **Feedback:** * Add `window.navigator.vibrate(50)` on taking damage or hitting the enemy. * Buttons should visually depress/change opacity when touched. * Camera should have a slight "shake" effect on heavy impacts. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
