Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Starve.io". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Low-poly, stylized "Toon" aesthetic similar to the screenshot. Characters should be represented as simple geometry (rounded cubes) with distinct accessories (e.g., a winter hat). The color palette should feature high contrast: bright warm colors (orange/red) for fire and enemies against a cool, desaturated background (white/blue) for the snowy environment. * **Environment Generation**: Create a procedural, infinite-feeling flat plane (using `THREE.PlaneGeometry`) textured to look like snow. Populate the world with resource nodes: Low-poly trees (wood), rocks (stone), and berry bushes (food). * **Entities**: * **Player**: A white cube with eyes and a hat. Equipped with a tool (shovel/pickaxe). * **Enemies (Mobs)**: "Fire Spirits" or "Zombies" represented as floating, glowing spheres or dark cubes with aggressive follow behavior. Use `THREE.MeshStandardMaterial` with an emissive property for the fire spirits to make them glow. * **Mobile Optimization**: * Use `THREE.InstancedMesh` for repeating environmental assets (trees, rocks) to reduce draw calls. * Limit real-time shadows (`castShadow`) to the player and immediate light sources (campfires). Use baked lighting or simple ambient occlusion for the terrain. * Camera: High-angle Orthographic Camera to provide a clear overview of the arena, locked to follow the player smoothly. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A minimal, atmospheric track featuring wind howling (winter theme) and subtle percussion that intensifies during night cycles or combat. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Interaction**: "Chop" sound for wood, "Clink" for stone, "Crunch" for eating. * **Environment**: Crackling fire sound (positional audio when near a campfire). * **UI**: Soft "pop" for inventory selection. * **Combat**: "Thud" for taking damage, high-pitched "shatter" when an enemy is defeated. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Stats**: Implement a HUD tracking **Health**, **Hunger** (decreases over time), and **Temperature/Cold** (decreases rapidly if away from fire/warmth). * **Day/Night Cycle**: Implement a global lighting change. Nighttime makes the screen dark and increases the rate of the "Cold" meter dropping, forcing players to craft torches or campfires. * **Gathering & Crafting**: Players must approach trees/rocks and use the "Attack" action to gather resources. These resources are used to craft walls, spikes, and weapons via a simple UI menu. * **Combat & Survival**: Players must fend off AI mobs (spiders/wolves/spirits) and other players. The goal is to survive the longest. Game Over occurs if Health reaches 0 (due to starvation, freezing, or damage). ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Dual Virtual Joysticks**: * **Left Joystick**: Controls character movement (Velocity). * **Right Joystick**: Controls character rotation/aiming. Releasing the right joystick triggers the "Attack/Gather" action in that direction. * **UI Layout (Landscape)**: * **Status Bars**: Top-left corner (Health/Hunger/Cold). * **Inventory/Crafting Bar**: Bottom center. Touchable slots (minimum 44x44px) to select active items (Wood, Stone, Sword, Campfire). * **Action Button**: A secondary large button on the right for "Pick Up Item" (E key equivalent). * **Feedback**: * **Haptic Feedback**: Trigger a short vibration (`navigator.vibrate`) when the player takes damage or successfully gathers a resource. * **Visual Feedback**: Display floating damage numbers and a "white flash" on the character material when hit. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
