Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Tiny Tanks Mobile Remake". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: "Voxel Toy" aesthetic. Use a Top-Down **Orthographic Camera** to mimic the classic 2D pixel art look but with 3D depth. The game should feel like toy tanks fighting on a wooden tabletop. * **Tank Model**: Create a low-poly tank composed of two main groups: `Body` (chassis with treads) and `Turret` (cannon). The Turret must rotate independently of the Body. * *Player*: Green body, darker green treads. * *Enemy*: Red body, darker red treads. * **Environment**: A tiled arena. * *Floor*: A texture resembling light wood planks (repeating pattern). * *Walls*: Brown blocky obstacles arranged in a maze-like grid. * **Particles**: Simple cubic particles for bullet trails (smoke puffs) and explosions (orange/yellow cubes scattering). * **Performance**: Use `InstancedMesh` for floor tiles and wall blocks to reduce draw calls. Target 60 FPS on mobile devices. Use `THREE.BoxGeometry` for almost everything to keep geometry simple. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A looped, 8-bit style "military march" tune—upbeat and arcade-like (using a synthesizer library or placeholder HTML5 Audio). * **SFX**: * *Shoot*: A retro "Pew" or compressed cannon fire. * *Ricochet*: A high-pitched metallic "Ping" when bullets hit walls. * *Explosion*: A crunchy 8-bit noise. * *Engine*: A subtle, low-frequency hum when the tank moves. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic**: A "Twin-Stick" shooter. The player moves the tank and rotates the turret to shoot enemies. * **Ricochet System (Critical)**: Bullets must NOT disappear immediately upon hitting a wall. They must bounce off walls based on reflection vector math (angle of incidence = angle of reflection). Bullets expire after 3 bounces or 2 seconds. * **Combat**: * Player vs. 2-3 AI Tanks. * AI behavior: Move randomly within the grid, raycast to detect the player, and shoot if there is a clear line of sight (taking wall bounces into account if possible, otherwise direct line). * One hit kills for both player and enemies to keep the pace fast (Arcade style). * **Win/Loss**: * *Win*: All enemy tanks destroyed -> Show "Mission Clear" overlay. * *Loss*: Player hit by a bullet (enemy's or their own ricochet) -> Show "Game Over" overlay with a "Retry" button. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Control Scheme**: **Dual Virtual Joysticks** (On-screen overlays). * **Left Joystick (Bottom-Left)**: Controls tank **Movement** (WASD logic). The tank body rotates to face the movement direction. * **Right Joystick (Bottom-Right)**: Controls turret **Aiming**. The turret rotates to face the joystick direction. * **Firing Mechanism**: The tank fires automatically at a fixed rate (e.g., 2 shots per second) as long as the Right Joystick is being held/aimed. * **Screen Adaptation**: * Force `touch-action: none` in CSS to prevent browser scrolling/zooming. * Support both Landscape (preferred) and Portrait (camera zooms out slightly) orientations. * Responsive UI: Pause button in the top-right corner (minimum 44x44px touch target). * **Feedback**: Add a subtle "Screen Shake" effect (camera vibration) when a tank explodes. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
