Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Paper Minecraft (2.5D Side-Scrolling Sandbox)**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: A **2.5D side-scrolling aesthetic**. Use an `OrthographicCamera` to create a flat, paper-like perspective, but render the world using 3D `BoxGeometry` so blocks have slight depth and receive shadows. * **Textures**: Use low-resolution pixel art textures (16x16px) for blocks (Dirt, Grass, Stone, Wood, Leaves). The texture filtering should be set to `NearestFilter` to maintain the crisp pixelated look. * **Player Character**: A 2D flat plane (Sprite) representing "Steve", animated with simple UV offset shifting for walking and jumping animations. The character should always face the direction of movement. * **Environment**: A procedurally generated terrain on the X/Y axis (using Perlin noise for hills and caves). Include a dynamic Day/Night cycle that changes the background color (sky hex code) and ambient light intensity. * **Mobile Optimization**: Crucial requirement: Use `THREE.InstancedMesh` for rendering the terrain blocks to handle high object counts (1000+ blocks) without FPS drops on mobile devices. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **Background Music (BGM)**: A calm, melancholic piano track similar to "Sweden" by C418, playing on a loop during the day. Transition to silence or subtle wind noises at night. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Footsteps**: Rapid, soft clicking sounds tailored to the material (grass vs. stone). * **Mining**: A repeated "thud" or "crack" sound that pitches up slightly as the block breaks. * **Collection**: A satisfying "pop" sound when picking up floating item drops. * **UI**: High-pitched clicks for selecting items in the hotbar. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanics**: A side-scrolling survival loop. The player moves left/right, jumps, mines blocks, and places blocks. * **Game Modes**: * **Survival**: The player has a Health Bar (hearts) and Hunger Bar. Health regenerates if hunger is full. Zombies spawn at night or in dark caves; touching them deals damage. * **Creative**: No health/hunger. Instant block breaking. Infinite inventory. * **Interaction Logic**: * **Mining**: Holding input on a block gradually destroys it, dropping a smaller floating version of the block (loot) that attracts to the player when close. * **Crafting (Simplified)**: A simple 2x2 grid menu accessible via UI to convert Wood -> Planks -> Sticks -> Tools. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Screen Orientation**: **Landscape Mode** (Force landscape for a wider field of view). * **Movement Controls (Left Hand)**: * A floating **Virtual Joystick** on the bottom-left for horizontal movement. * Moving the joystick Up acts as a Jump trigger (or provide a dedicated Jump button near the right hand). * **Interaction Controls (Right Hand)**: * **Touch Input**: Since this is mobile, do not use a mouse cursor. * **Tap**: Place the selected block from the hotbar at the touched location. * **Long Press (Hold)**: Mine/Dig the block under the finger. Display a circular progress bar or cracking texture overlay during the hold. * **UI Layout**: * **Hotbar**: A centered row of 5-9 slots at the bottom of the screen. The active slot is highlighted larger. * **Inventory Button**: A button (min 44x44px) in the top-right corner to toggle the full crafting/inventory grid. * **Feedback**: Haptic feedback (vibration) when a block is successfully broken or placed. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
