Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Ringo Starfish". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** 2.5D Side-Scroller with a retro "16-bit" Pixel Art aesthetic. Use an **Orthographic Camera** to maintain strict 2D perspective. * **Texture Rendering:** All textures must use `THREE.NearestFilter` for `magFilter` and `minFilter` to ensure the pixel art remains crisp and sharp, avoiding the blurry look on high-DPI mobile screens. * **World Construction:** * **Foreground:** Tile-based environment using plane geometries. Key tiles: Grass blocks with dirt underneath, wooden crates, and floating platforms. * **Background:** A multi-layered parallax scrolling background. Layer 1 (Furthest): Solid cyan sky. Layer 2: Large, white, fluffy pixelated clouds. Layer 3: Distant palm trees or island silhouettes. These layers should move at different speeds relative to the camera to create depth. * **Characters:** * **Protagonist (Ringo):** A pink starfish humanoid character rendered as a Sprite or Plane with texture animation frames (Idle, Run, Jump, Swim). * **Enemies:** Generic pixel monsters (e.g., crabs, walking blobs) that patrol platforms. * **Performance Optimization:** Use a Texture Atlas (Sprite Sheet) for all game elements to reduce draw calls. Implement object pooling for projectiles and particles (e.g., when collecting coins or shooting). ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM (Background Music):** An upbeat, tropical-themed "Chiptune" track. Think Calypso style mixed with 8-bit Nintendo vibes (steel drums emulated via synth). It should loop seamlessly. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Jump:** A classic rising "boing" or 8-bit jump sound. * **Fire/Shoot:** A quick "pew" or bubble-pop sound. * **Collect:** A high-pitched "ding" or "sparkle" sound for gathering crystals/coins. * **Swim:** Bubbling water sounds when the character enters water zones. * **Damage/Death:** A low-pitch "thud" or retro dissolve noise. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanics:** Typical "Mario-style" platformer physics. The player moves left to right, jumping over gaps and spikes. * **Physics:** * **Land:** High-friction movement, instant stopping, and "coyote time" (allowing a jump slightly after walking off a ledge). * **Water:** If the player enters a water zone, gravity is reduced, and movement becomes floaty; the jump button becomes a "swim up" impulse. * **Combat & Abilities:** * **Firepower:** Pressing the attack button shoots a projectile horizontally. * **Invincibility:** A temporary power-up (star or potion) makes the player immune to damage and faster. * **Objective:** Reach the flag or portal at the end of the level. Collect all gold coins/crystals for a perfect score. * **Checkpoint System:** Detect collision with invisible checkpoint markers. On death, respawn the player at the last visited checkpoint coordinate rather than the start. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Screen Orientation:** Optimized for **Landscape** mode. Force resize logic to fit the game container to the window inner height/width. * **Touch Controls (Virtual Gamepad):** * **Left Side:** An invisible or semi-transparent Virtual Joystick (or D-Pad) for horizontal movement. It should handle "touchmove" events for smooth analog-to-digital conversion. * **Right Side:** Two distinct circular buttons (radius ~60px): * **'A' Button (Bottom):** Jump / Swim. * **'B' Button (Top/Left of A):** Fire / Attack. * **Feedback:** Implement `navigator.vibrate(50)` on mobile devices when the player gets hit or collects a key item. Buttons should visually scale down slightly when pressed. * **UI Layout:** Place the Score and Life counters in the top-left and top-right corners, ensuring they have sufficient padding (safe area) from the screen edges for notched phones. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
