Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Ducklings.io". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** Adhere to a "Low-Poly, Vibrant" aesthetic similar to the reference image. Use flat shading (MeshLambertMaterial or MeshToonMaterial) to create a clean, vector-art look in 3D. * **The Pond:** Create a large, flat plane for the water. Instead of realistic water reflections, use a custom shader or texture animation to simulate stylized ripples and waves. The water color should be a bright cyan (#00BFFF). * **Player Character (The Duck):** A low-poly white duck composed of simple primitives (spheres, cones) merged together. It must have a distinct orange beak. Add a "trail renderer" or particle emitter behind the duck to simulate a wake/ripples as it moves. * **NPCs:** * **Lost Ducklings:** Smaller, yellow versions of the duck geometry. * **Enemy Ducks:** Different colored hats or body tints to distinguish them. * **Motorboats:** Blocky, red/brown shapes that move in straight lines across the map as hazards. * **The Nest:** A distinct circular area made of brown "twigs" (cylinders) where the player deposits ducklings. * **Mobile Optimization:** Use `InstancedMesh` for the lost ducklings and environment props (reeds, lilies) to maintain high FPS on mobile devices. Limit the scene to one main directional light and soft ambient light. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A relaxing, whimsical acoustic loop with a slow tempo to match the drifting nature of swimming. Think "sunny day at the park." * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Movement:** Continuous soft water splashing sound when moving at top speed. * **Collection:** A high-pitched "Squeak" or "Cheep" when picking up a lost duckling. * **Deposit:** A satisfying "Cha-ching" or "Happy Quack" fanfare when delivering ducklings to the nest. * **Damage/Theft:** A "Bonk" sound if hit by a boat, or a "Sad Quack" if ducklings are stolen. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanics:** The player swims around an infinite (or looping) pond. The goal is to touch stray ducklings, causing them to follow the player in a line (like a snake game). * **Scoring & Progression:** The player must guide the line of ducklings back to the "Nest." Only upon reaching the nest are points awarded and the nest visually upgrades (gets bigger or adds decorations). * **Conflict - Theft:** If an enemy AI duck crosses the player's line of ducklings, the ducklings behind the cut point switch allegiance and follow the enemy duck. The player can do the same to enemies. * **Conflict - Hazards:** Motorboats travel across the screen. Colliding with a boat results in a "Game Over" or loss of all current ducklings. * **Win/Loss:** The game is endless. The "Score" is the total number of saved ducklings. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Control Scheme:** Implement a **Dynamic Virtual Joystick**. * The player touches anywhere on the screen to anchor the joystick center. * Dragging defines the direction and speed (magnitude) of the duck. * The duck should have a slight "turning radius" (inertia) rather than snapping instantly to the new direction to simulate swimming physics. * **Camera:** Use an Orthographic Camera positioned at a high angle (top-down or slight isometric, e.g., position (0, 20, 10) looking at (0,0,0)). The camera must smoothly lerp (follow) the player's position. * **UI/UX:** * **Portrait/Landscape Support:** The game needs to handle `window.resize` events dynamically, adjusting the camera frustum aspect ratio. * **Score Counter:** A large, readable font (e.g., Fredoka One or similar rounded font) in the top center, showing the count of saved ducklings. * **Haptic Feedback:** Trigger `navigator.vibrate(50)` when a duckling is collected and `navigator.vibrate(200)` when colliding with a boat. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.

Swim around the pond to find and collect lost ducklings scattered throughout the water. Each duckling you rescue follows behind you in a growing chain, creating satisfying visual feedback as your family grows.

Player vs Player Elements

Other players can intercept and steal your ducklings if they get too close. Protect your collection by avoiding other ducks and choosing strategic routes around the pond.
