Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Gladiator: Castle Wars**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** Adopt a **2.5D Low-Poly aesthetic**. Use 3D models rendered from a side-scrolling orthographic perspective to mimic the original Flash game's layout but with modern depth. * **Character Models:** * **Hero:** A muscular gladiator with distinct color zones (skin, tunic, boots). Must have a visible weapon slot that changes appearance based on upgrades (e.g., Wooden Sword -> Iron Sword -> Magic Blue Sword). * **Enemies:** * *Goblins:* Small, yellow/green low-poly humanoids, wielding daggers. * *Skeletons:* Bone-white textured models with shields. * **Environment:** A scrolling "Forest Arena" background. Foreground should have a flat grassy plane. Background layers should include low-poly trees and a distant castle silhouette (parallax effect recommended). * **VFX:** * Floating damage numbers (Billboard text) popping up on hits. * Simple particle explosions (dust) when characters land or fall. * "Slash" trail geometry following the sword tip during attack animations. * **Mobile Optimization:** Use simple Lambert or Phong materials (no expensive PBR). Limit light sources to one DirectionalLight (Sun) and one AmbientLight. Merge geometries where possible. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A looping, rhythmic **orchestral battle march**. Heavy on percussion (drums) and brass sections to evoke a "Gladiator" feel. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * *UI:* A heavy "stone sliding" sound for button clicks. * *Combat:* Metallic "Clang" for blocks, wet "Thud" for hits on goblins, bone "Crunch" for skeletons. * *Loot:* A satisfying "Coin Jingle" when gold is awarded. * *Victory:* A short trumpet fanfare. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanism:** **Turn-Based Combat**. 1. **Player Phase:** Player selects an action (Attack, Heavy Strike, defend). 2. **Action Phase:** The gladiator runs to the enemy, performs the animation, deals damage, and returns to the start position. 3. **Enemy Phase:** Enemy attacks the player. * **Win/Loss:** * *Win:* Enemy HP reaches 0. Player gains Gold. * *Loss:* Player HP reaches 0. Game Over with a "Restart" button. * **Progression (Shop System):** Between waves, display a simple "Armory" UI overlay where players spend Gold to upgrade: * **Weapon:** Increases Attack Damage (changes sword color/model). * **Armor:** Increases Max HP. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation:** **Landscape Mode**. * **Combat UI:** Instead of small menus, use three large, distinct circular buttons on the bottom right of the screen (thumb zone): * **Sword Icon (Red):** Attack. * **Shield Icon (Blue):** Defend (reduces incoming damage). * **Potion Icon (Green):** Heal (cooldown based). * **Shop UI:** Large "Buy" cards that are easily tappable. * **Feedback:** * **Screen Shake:** Trigger a subtle camera shake (using noise or random offset) when a critical hit lands or the player takes heavy damage. * **Haptic:** If the browser supports it (`navigator.vibrate`), trigger a short 50ms pulse on impact. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
