Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "A Dark Room (3D Minimalist Reimagining)". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: High-contrast, minimalist Noir/Atmospheric style. The background must be pure black (`#000000`). * **Central Asset**: A dynamic **Campfire** in the center of the screen. Use `THREE.Points` or custom shader particles to create a flickering flame effect. The fire should emit a warm point light (Orange/Red) that illuminates a small radius of the floor. * **The Room**: The floor should be a subtle, dark gray grid or plane that fades into darkness at the edges (fog). As the player progresses, simple low-poly geometric shapes (representing supplies or structures) should fade into existence within the light's radius. * **UI/Text**: Since the original is text-based, use floating 3D text or a HUD overlay (Canvas texture) for the game log (e.g., "The fire is dead.", "The room is freezing.") using a distressed, typewriter-style font similar to the screenshot. * **Mobile Optimization**: Use simple geometry (primitives) for world objects to maintain high FPS. Limit real-time shadows to the central fire only. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A very quiet, eerie ambient drone (wind howling softly outside). It should feel isolating. * **SFX - Fire**: A continuous crackling sound loop. The volume and intensity should link to the "fire strength" variable (louder when stoked, silent when dying). * **SFX - UI**: A mechanical "typewriter" clack or a dull wooden thud when buttons are pressed. * **SFX - Event**: A hollow, echoing chime when a new event/button unlocks. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **The Spark (Start)**: The screen is pitch black with only a "Light Fire" button. * **Core Mechanic (Idler/Management)**: Once lit, the fire has a "Fuel" variable that decreases over time. The player must tap "Stoke Fire" to keep the room warm. * **Progression**: * If the fire stays lit for $X$ seconds, a "Stranger" arrives (text log update). * New buttons unlock: "Gather Wood" (cooldown based) and "Check Traps". * **Resource Display**: Show resources (Wood, Meat, Fur) as simple counters at the top of the screen. * **Lose State**: If the fire goes out, the screen fades to black, the temperature drops, and the text "A Dark Room" fades in. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation**: **Portrait Mode** (Vertical) to mimic a mobile text-adventure layout. * **Input Scheme**: * **Main Interaction area**: The bottom half of the screen contains large, touch-friendly buttons (min-height 60px) for actions ("Stoke Fire", "Gather Wood"). * **Visual Feedback**: When "Stoke Fire" is tapped, the 3D fire should flare up (scale up) briefly, and the screen should shake slightly. * **Haptics**: Trigger `navigator.vibrate(20)` on every button press for tactile feedback. * **Camera**: Fixed isometric view looking down at the fire. No manual camera control (to maintain the mystery of what lies beyond the darkness). Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
