Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Ant Art Tycoon". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Use a vibrant **Low-Poly Cartoon aesthetic** with Toon Shading (Cell Shading) to mimic the promotional art's playful vibe. The color palette should be bright and saturated (purples, oranges, and blues). * **Scene Layout (Studio/Gallery)**: * **Centerpiece**: An easel with a dynamic white canvas. * **The Artists**: Low-poly Ant models (3-5 to start) wearing berets. They should have simple animations (idle, running to canvas, painting motion). Use `THREE.InstancedMesh` for ants to optimize performance on mobile devices. * **The Buyers**: Simple, abstract low-poly humanoid figures that spawn at the entrance, walk to the painting, react, and leave. * **Environment**: A minimalist art studio room with wooden floors and a spotlight focused on the easel. * **Dynamic Painting Mechanism**: The canvas mesh must use a `THREE.CanvasTexture`. As ants "paint," randomly generate colorful splats/brushstrokes on this texture programmatically. * **Mobile Optimization**: Limit the total scene polygon count to under 30,000. Use baked lighting for the room shadows to save GPU resources. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A loop of **quirky, upbeat jazz** or "pizzicato strings" style music commonly found in simulation games. It should be relaxing but rhythmic to encourage clicking. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Painting**: Wet "squish" and "splat" sounds synced with the visual appearance of paint. * **UI/Clicking**: Soft "pop" sounds for menu interaction. * **Money**: A satisfying "Cha-ching" cash register sound when a painting sells. * **Reactions**: Murmuring sounds for buyers ("Hmm...", "Ooh!"), and a distinct "disappointed sigh" if the price is too high. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Phase 1: Creation (Idle/Clicker)**: * Ants automatically move between a paint bucket and the canvas. * **Interaction**: Tapping the screen frantically ("Clicker" mechanic) boosts the movement speed of the ants temporarily. * Progress bar fills up as the painting becomes more covered in color. * **Phase 2: Valuation**: * Once the painting is complete, the game pauses the ants. * A UI panel appears allowing the player to set a price tag. * **Phase 3: The Sale**: * NPC Buyers approach the artwork. Their "willingness to pay" is a hidden variable based on the painting's "quality" (random seed + upgrades). * **Logic**: If `Player Price` <= `Buyer Budget`, the item sells. If `Player Price` > `Buyer Budget`, the buyer leaves angry, and the player must lower the price or wait for a richer buyer. * **Phase 4: Upgrades**: * Use earned cash to buy: **More Ants**, **Faster Walk Speed**, **Better Colors** (increases base value of art), and **Bigger Canvas** (increases painting duration but higher max sell price). ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Screen Orientation**: **Portrait Mode** (Vertical) to allow for one-handed play. * **Controls**: * **Main Interaction**: Tap anywhere on the bottom half of the screen to boost ant speed. * **Pricing Slider**: A large, thumb-friendly horizontal slider UI to adjust the painting price. * **Upgrade Menu**: A scrollable HTML overlay at the bottom with large buttons (min-height 50px) for purchasing upgrades. * **Feedback**: * **Haptic Feedback**: Trigger a short vibration (`navigator.vibrate`) when a painting finishes and when a sale is made. * **Floating Text**: When a painting sells, show a floating `+$[Amount]` text animation that rises from the easel and fades out. * **Camera**: A fixed isometric camera angle (e.g., position `x: 10, y: 10, z: 10`, looking at origin) that frames the easel and the ant colony clearly on small screens. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
