Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Diep.io Clone (3D Top-Down Tank Shooter)". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Minimalist geometric aesthetic ("2.5D" style). The game should look like the classic 2D .io game but rendered with 3D primitives. * **Player Tank**: A `CylinderGeometry` (the body, Blue color) with a horizontal `BoxGeometry` attached as the cannon barrel. The tank should rotate to face the aiming direction. * **Fodder/Shapes (XP sources)**: * Yellow Squares (Low XP): `BoxGeometry`. * Red Triangles (Medium XP): `TetrahedronGeometry` or `ConeGeometry`. * Purple Pentagons (High XP): `CylinderGeometry` (5 segments). * *Note*: These shapes should slowly rotate on their local axes to add visual interest. * **Background**: A large, light grey plane with a darker grid pattern texture (`GridHelper` logic) to emphasize movement. * **Performance Optimization**: Use `InstancedMesh` for rendering projectiles (bullets) and background shapes to ensure 60FPS on mobile devices. Low polygon counts for all models. Shadows should be disabled or baked to save battery. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: An upbeat, repetitive chiptune or minimal techno loop. It should be low-volume and focus on concentration. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Shooting**: A sharp, short "pew" or "thud" sound (varied slightly in pitch to avoid fatigue). * **Impact**: A metallic "tink" when bullets hit shapes/enemies. * **Destruction**: A crunching or shattering sound when a shape or tank is destroyed. * **Level Up**: A rising, positive chime sound. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic**: The player controls a tank in an open arena. The goal is to survive and grow. * **Progression**: Destroying shapes drops "XP". As XP fills a bar, the player levels up. * **Upgrade System**: Upon leveling up, the player receives a skill point to upgrade one of 8 stats (Regen, Max Health, Body Damage, Bullet Speed, Penetration, Bullet Damage, Reload, Move Speed). * **Combat**: Bullets must have travel time (not hitscan). Shooting creates a small recoil force on the tank's movement. * **Win/Loss**: * **Loss**: HP reaches 0 (Game Over screen with final score). * **Win**: Technically endless, but high score is the goal. * **Enemy AI**: Simple AI bots that wander, aim at the player if in range, and shoot. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Control Scheme**: Dual Virtual Joysticks (Twin-stick shooter style). * **Left Stick**: Controls movement (WASD logic equivalent). * **Right Stick**: Controls aiming rotation and firing. Holding the stick in a direction fires continuously; releasing stops firing. * **Screen Orientation**: **Landscape Mode** only. * **UI Layout**: * **Upgrade Menu**: A collapsible or semi-transparent panel on the **bottom-left** containing large buttons (min 44x44px) for the 8 stats. Buttons must handle multi-touch (tapping upgrade while moving). * **Health/XP**: Floating bars above the tank model for immediate feedback. * **Feedback**: * **Haptic**: Trigger a short vibration (using `navigator.vibrate`) when the player takes damage or destroys a large pentagon. * **Visual**: The tank should flash white briefly when taking damage. Floating text numbers pop up when damage is dealt. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.

Eight Customizable Stats

Every level gained provides upgrade points to enhance your tank across eight critical areas:

Gameplay Strategy

Early Game Survival

New players should focus on destroying geometric shapes scattered across the map to gain experience safely. Avoid confronting other players until you've reached at least level 15 and chosen your first tank evolution.

Mid-Game Development

Once you've selected your tank class, develop a focused upgrade strategy. Defensive builds prioritize health and regeneration, while offensive builds emphasize bullet damage and speed. Balanced builds offer versatility but may lack specialization.
