Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Dog Fight: The Great War". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** 2.5D Side-Scrolling aesthetic. Use Low-poly 3D models rendered with a Toon Shader (Cel Shading) to mimic the cartoon style of the original screenshot. * **Camera:** Use an `OrthographicCamera` to lock the view to a side profile (X-Y plane), ensuring a classic arcade feel. * **Player Asset:** A vintage WWI Biplane (e.g., Sopwith Camel) in Green/Yellow. Include a separate child mesh for the propeller to allow for rotation animation. * **Enemy Asset:** A distinctive Red Baron-style Triplane. * **Environment:** * **Sky:** A gradient blue background (Hex #87CEEB to #4682B4). * **Ground:** A low-poly terrain mesh at the bottom of the screen with green/brown coloring. * **Parallax:** Generate scrolling clouds and distant mountain silhouettes in the background to create a sense of speed. * **VFX (Particles):** * **Smoke:** Gray particle trails that emit from the tail when a plane takes damage. * **Muzzle Flash:** Yellow/White rapid flashes at the plane's nose when firing. * **Explosion:** Orange/Red expanding particles when a plane hits the ground or reaches 0 HP. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A looping, energetic military snare drum march or an uptempo ragtime piano track (reminiscent of the 1910s). * **SFX:** * **Engine:** A constant looping low-frequency drone (propeller noise). Pitch should slightly increase when the plane pitches up. * **Gunfire:** A rapid "Rat-a-tat-tat" sound. * **Impact:** A metallic "clank" when bullets hit a plane. * **UI:** Retro "Click" sounds for start/restart buttons. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanics:** The game runs on a 2D plane (locked Z-axis). The planes move forward automatically (constant X velocity). * **Physics:** * **Gravity:** There is a constant downward pull. * **Lift:** The plane only gains altitude when pitched upward. If the player does nothing, the plane eventually crashes into the ground. * **Combat:** * The player must align their nose with the enemy to shoot. * Bullets travel in a straight line with a slight gravity drop over distance. * **AI Behavior:** The enemy plane should attempt to match the player's Y-altitude and fire when in range, while avoiding the ground. * **Win/Loss:** * **Win:** Reduce Enemy HP to 0 (Enemy spirals down and explodes). * **Loss:** Player HP hits 0 OR Player crashes into the ground. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation:** **Landscape** (Horizontal) fixed. * **Touch Controls:** * **Left Screen (Pitch):** A vertical virtual slider or invisible touch area. Sliding a thumb UP angles the plane nose up; sliding DOWN angles it down. (Invert Y-axis option is not needed for this simple arcade style, stick to Up=Up). * **Right Screen (Fire):** A large, semi-transparent circular button (min 64x64px) acting as the trigger. Holding it down enables rapid fire (with a heat/cooldown mechanic to prevent spamming). * **UI:** * Top Left: Player Health Bar (Green). * Top Right: Enemy Health Bar (Red). * Center: "GAME OVER" / "VICTORY" overlay with a large "RESTART" button. * **Feedback:** * **Camera Shake:** Subtle camera shake when the player shoots or gets hit. * **Haptics:** Trigger `navigator.vibrate(50)` when firing and `navigator.vibrate(200)` on impact/crash. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
