MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Drip Drop". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: "2.5D" Cartoon aesthetic. Use 3D primitives but apply a **Toon Shader (Cel Shading)** or flat materials with black outlines to mimic the source image's vector art style. * **Color Palette**: High saturation. Sky Blue (`#87CEEB`) background, Vibrant Green (`#32CD32`) for the bottom horizon/ground, Bright Red (`#FF4500`) for the Player Ball, and Pure White (`#FFFFFF`) for the Paddle. * **Player (The Ball)**: A red sphere. Add a simple texture or child meshes (two black cylinders for eyes, one curve for a smile) to give it a face. * **The Paddle**: A white, curved platform (concave upward like a shallow bowl or half-pipe slice) to allow the ball to roll inside it. * **Hazards (Rain)**: Blue teardrop shapes or simple cones (`ConeGeometry`) pointing downwards. * **Decorations**: A simple smiling Sun mesh in the top corner (static or slowly rotating). * **Mobile Optimization**: Use `BufferGeometry` for all meshes. Low polygon count for the ball (32 segments). Limit dynamic lights; use one Directional Light (mimicking the sun) and strong Ambient Light. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A lighthearted, pizzicato-string or marimba-based loop. Tempo should be moderate (approx. 100-110 BPM) to reflect a casual but active atmosphere. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Slide**: Soft "swoosh" sound when moving the paddle quickly. * **Rain Drop**: A water "plop" sound when rain hits the paddle or ground. * **Game Over (Wet)**: A "hiss" or "splash" sound if rain hits the ball. * **Game Over (Fall)**: A cartoonish "whistle-drop" or dull "thud" if the ball falls off the screen. * **Scoring**: A soft "ding" every 5 seconds of survival. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Start State**: The white paddle is centered at the bottom 1/4 of the screen. The red ball drops from above and lands in the center of the paddle. * **Core Mechanic**: * **Balancing**: The ball simulates physics (gravity, friction, momentum). If the paddle moves left, the ball's inertia should make it roll right relative to the paddle. The paddle's curve naturally centers the ball if stationary, but quick movements destabilize it. * **Rain Avoidance**: Raindrops spawn randomly at the top of the screen (X-axis varying) and fall vertically. The player must slide the paddle to dodge the rain so it doesn't hit the ball. * **Lose Conditions**: 1. **Contact**: A raindrop collides with the Red Ball (Raycaster or BoundingSphere check). 2. **Falling**: The Red Ball rolls off the edge of the paddle and falls below the screen bottom. * **Scoring**: Score is based on **Survival Time**. Display a counter at the top center that increases by 1 for every second survived. * **Difficulty Curve**: As time progresses, spawn rain more frequently and slightly increase the fall speed of the rain. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Screen Orientation**: Lock to **Portrait Mode** (Vertical) preference. * **Controls**: * **Touch/Drag**: Implement a 1:1 horizontal drag control. The user can touch *anywhere* on the screen and drag left/right. The paddle's X position follows the finger's X position (clamped to screen edges). * **Mouse Fallback**: Support mouse movement for desktop testing. * **UI Elements**: * **Score HUD**: Large, readable font (sans-serif) at the top center. * **Game Over Screen**: A semi-transparent overlay with the Final Score and a large "Tap to Restart" button (minimum touch target 44x44px). * **Feedback**: * **Visual**: Slight screen shake (camera jitter) when the ball falls off or gets hit. * **Haptic**: Trigger `navigator.vibrate(200)` upon Game Over. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
