Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**The Pumpkin: Trick or Treat Panic**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Use a **Low-Poly, Cel-Shaded (Toon)** aesthetic to match the "Cute" and "Funny" tags. The palette should be vibrant: Pumpkin Orange, Midnight Purple, Slime Green, and Moonlight Yellow. * **Main Character**: A round, bouncy Pumpkin with stick-figure legs and arms. It must wear a black **Top Hat** (referencing the original thumbnail). * **NPCs**: * *Trick-or-Treaters*: Small, cute figures in simple costumes (ghost sheets, witch hats) holding bags. * *Vandals*: Taller, "mean-looking" figures (maybe wearing hoodies) holding baseball bats. * **Environment**: A stylized 2.5D suburban sidewalk at night. Features include silhouetted houses in the background, streetlamps casting conical spotlights, and a dark purple sky with a full moon. * **Mobile Optimization**: Use simple geometric primitives (spheres, cylinders, cubes) with minimal textures. Use `MeshToonMaterial` for the cartoon look without expensive lighting calculations. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A "spooky but silly" track. Think pizzicato strings and a theremin, resembling a lighthearted version of a Danny Elfman score. * **SFX**: * *Scream*: A comical, high-pitched "Boo!" or gibberish scream. * *Jump*: A cartoonish "Boing" spring sound. * *Search/Eat*: A rapid munching or rummaging sound. * *Damage/Game Over*: A distinct "Splat" sound (pumpkin smashing). * *Success*: A "Cha-ching" or candy rattling sound. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanics**: The player moves left/right on a sidewalk. 1. **Scare**: When near a *Trick-or-Treater*, the player presses the "Scream" button. The kid runs away, dropping a **Candy Bag**. 2. **Loot**: The player must walk over to the Candy Bag and press the "Search" button (or hold it) to collect points (Candy). 3. **Survive**: *Vandals* patrol the street. The player must use the "Jump" button to hurdle over them or their attacks. * **Win/Loss**: * *Score*: Based on candy collected. * *Game Over*: If a Vandal touches the player, the pumpkin gets smashed (instant loss). ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation**: **Landscape Mode**. * **Left Screen Area**: A **Virtual Joystick** (or large invisible touch area) for moving Left and Right. * **Right Screen Area**: Three distinct, large action buttons (min 60x60px): 1. **Jump Button** (Bottom Right - easiest to reach). 2. **Scream Button** (Top Right). 3. **Search Button** (Left of the Jump button). * **Feedback**: * Trigger `navigator.vibrate(50)` on successful Scream or Candy collection. * Visual "Pop" effect on buttons when pressed. * Display floating text ("+10 Candy!", "Boo!") above the character during actions. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
