Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Santa with a Shotgun**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** Use a **Low-Poly, Vibrant Cartoon style**. The aesthetic should be humorous and slightly edgy (juxtaposing Christmas cute with action movie tropes). * **Player Character (Santa):** Construct Santa using simple geometric primitives (Sphere for body, smaller spheres for limbs/head). He must wear a bright Red suit. Equip him with a clearly visible, oversized weapon (Shotgun/Rifle) modeled from elongated cubes/cylinders. * **Enemies (Elves):** Green, smaller geometric characters (cones/cubes) with pointy ears. They should look mischievous. * **Environment:** An infinite side-scrolling sky background. * **Background:** Gradient blue sky (Light blue to dark blue). * **Decor:** Floating clouds (white spheres merged together) moving at different speeds to create a parallax effect. * **Projectiles:** * Santa's Bullets: Bright yellow/orange glowing spheres or capsules (tracer rounds). * Elf Projectiles: Snowballs (white spheres) or Coal (black cubes). * **Mobile Optimization:** Use `BoxGeometry` and `SphereGeometry` with low segment counts. Reuse materials (`MeshLambertMaterial`) to minimize draw calls. Shadows can be baked or simplified (blob shadows) for performance. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM (Background Music):** A **Heavy Metal or Punk Rock arrangement of "Jingle Bells"**. fast-paced, high energy, driving drums and distorted guitars. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Shooting:** Loud, punchy shotgun blasts or rapid-fire machine gun sounds (depending on active weapon). * **Elf Hit:** High-pitched squeaks or cartoonish "Oof!" sounds. * **Explosion:** Confetti pop sound mixed with a standard explosion when an enemy dies. * **Santa Voice:** A gritty, action-movie style "Ho Ho Ho" upon starting the game. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Genre:** Side-Scrolling Aerial Shooter (Shmup). * **Core Mechanics:** * **Movement:** Santa flies freely on the X/Y plane within the screen bounds. The background scrolls infinitely from right to left. * **Combat:** Enemies (Elves) spawn from the right side of the screen at varying heights and fly towards the left. Some fly straight, some in sine-wave patterns. * **Shooting:** Santa fires projectiles to the right. * **Scoring:** +100 points for every Elf blasted. * **Health System:** Santa has 3 Hearts (represented by Gift Box icons in the UI). Taking a hit from an enemy or projectile removes a heart. * **Game Over:** When hearts reach 0, Santa spirals down off-screen. Display a "Game Over" modal with a "Try Again" button. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation:** **Landscape Mode** (Force landscape logic in camera aspect ratio). * **Control Scheme:** * **Left Thumb (Movement):** Implement a **Virtual Joystick** (Nipple.js style) on the bottom-left of the screen. It controls Santa's X/Y movement directly. * **Right Thumb (Action):** A large, red circular **"FIRE" button** on the bottom-right. Holding it down enables rapid fire (or repeated tapping for Shotgun). * **UI/HUD:** * Score display in the top-left (large, bold font). * Health (Lives) in the top-right. * UI buttons must have a hit area of at least **44x44 pixels** for accessibility. * **Feedback:** * **Visual:** Screen shake (camera jitter) slightly when shooting the shotgun or taking damage. * **Haptic:** Trigger `navigator.vibrate(50)` when shooting and `navigator.vibrate(200)` when hit. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
