Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Blocky Snakes - Voxel IO Arena**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Adopt a vibrant **Voxel Art / Low-poly style** reminiscent of *Crossy Road* or *Minecraft*. * **Snake Models**: The snake should be constructed from individual cubes (voxels). The head is distinct with large pixelated eyes and a protruding tongue (as seen in the reference image). The body segments follow the head in a smooth, trailing chain. * **Color Palette**: High saturation. The background should be a grid-like floor (light grey/white checkerboard) to help with depth perception, with a bright, cartoony skybox or solid gradient background. * **Collectibles (Candy)**: Instead of simple spheres, use rotating voxel shapes (cubes, pyramids) in neon colors (pink, cyan, lime) floating slightly above the ground. * **Performance Optimization (Mobile)**: * Use **InstancedMesh** for the floor grid and body segments to reduce draw calls. * Limit real-time shadows. Use a simple DirectionalLight for main illumination and a HemisphereLight for ambient fill. * Implement a simple LOD (Level of Detail) system: farther snakes can be rendered as simple colored lines or have fewer body segments visible. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM (Background Music)**: A fast-paced, looping **Chiptune / 8-bit upbeat track**. It should feel energetic and arcade-like, encouraging continuous movement. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Eating**: A crisp, retro "bloop" or "crunch" sound (8-bit style) when collecting candy. Pitch can slightly increase as the snake gets longer. * **Boost**: A continuous "whoosh" or "rocket fizz" noise when the player sprints. * **Crash/Death**: A digitized explosion sound or a comical "bonk" followed by a scattering sound (representing voxels falling apart). * **UI Click**: Standard retro blips. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanics**: * **Spawn**: Player starts as a small snake (Head + 5 body segments) at a random location on a finite but large map. * **Growth**: Consuming "Candy" adds 1 segment to the tail and slightly increases the score. * **Bot Simulation**: Since this is a frontend demo, simulate "Multiplayer" by adding 5-10 AI-controlled snakes. They should wander randomly, seek food, and turn away from edges/obstacles if possible. * **Speed Boost**: Holding a boost button consumes the snake's length (shrinks the snake) to gain temporary speed. * **Victory/Failure Condition**: * **Failure**: Hitting the body of another snake or the map boundary results in immediate "Death". The snake turns into a pile of "Candy" (food for others). * **Victory**: There is no end, but a "Leaderboard" (top right UI) tracks the longest snakes. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Touch Controls (Virtual Joystick)**: * Implement a **dynamic virtual joystick** on the left side of the screen. Wherever the user touches, the center of the joystick appears. Dragging directs the snake's head. * Movement must be **360-degree fluid**, not grid-based 90-degree turns. * **Action Button**: * Place a large, translucent "Sprint/Boost" button on the bottom-right corner (approx. 80px diameter). * **Camera Behavior**: * Top-down perspective (approx. 60-degree angle). The camera must smoothly follow the player's head with a slight "look ahead" offset based on current velocity. * **UI Layout (Responsive)**: * **Top-Left**: Live Score / Length counter. * **Top-Right**: Mini-Leaderboard. * **Center**: "Game Over" overlay with a large "Restart" button (min-height 50px for touch targets). * Ensure all UI elements are anchored properly for both Landscape and Portrait orientations, though **Landscape is preferred**. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.

Basic Rules

Your objective is simple yet challenging: navigate your blocky snake around the map, consuming colorful candy pieces to grow longer. Each piece of candy increases your snake's length and boosts your score. However, colliding with other snakes results in immediate elimination, making positioning and timing crucial for survival.

Strategic Elements

  • Encirclement tactics - trap smaller snakes by surrounding them
  • Speed boosts - sacrifice length for temporary speed advantages
  • Map awareness - learn candy spawn patterns and safe routes
  • Risk assessment - decide when to engage other players vs. play defensively

Controls and Operation

Mobile Controls

Pro Tips for New Players

  1. Start conservatively - focus on eating candy rather than hunting other snakes
  2. Use walls strategically - corner opponents against map boundaries
  3. Save speed boosts for crucial escape or attack moments
  4. Watch the minimap to avoid crowded areas when you're small
  5. Practice patience - rushing leads to unnecessary collisions
