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**: Create a **Low-Poly / Flat-Shaded** aesthetic with vibrant, saturated colors. The look should be cute, cartoonish, and relaxing (similar to "Pelican Party" style). * **The Player (Mama Duck)**: A simple white 3D duck model (composed of basic primitives like spheres/capsules to keep poly count low). Must have a subtle bobbing animation in the water. * **The Ducklings**: Smaller, yellow versions of the main duck. They must spawn randomly around the map. * **The Nest**: A large, circular structure made of twigs/leaves located at the center of the map. This is the "Safe Zone." * **The Water**: A large blue plane. **Crucial visual feedback**: Implement a "wake" or white trail particle system behind the ducks to indicate movement speed and direction. * **Environment Props**: Scattered lily pads, rocks, and reeds. Use **InstancedMesh** for these repetitive elements to ensure high FPS on mobile devices. * **Lighting**: Bright, sunny directional light with soft shadows. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A whimsical, acoustic guitar or ukulele-based track. It should be relaxing, repetitive, and summery. * **SFX - Quack**: A distinct "Quack" sound when tapping the screen or collecting a duckling. * **SFX - Splash**: Soft water splashing sounds during movement boosts or turns. * **SFX - Collect**: A satisfying "pop" or "chirp" when a stray duckling joins your line. * **SFX - Deposit**: A "cash register" style ding or fanfare when dropping ducklings off at the nest. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Collection Mechanic**: The player swims around an infinite (or large bounded) lake. Stray ducklings appear randomly. When the player gets close, the ducklings join the player, forming a **single-file line** behind the player (Snake-like mechanics). * **Scoring (The Nest)**: The player acts as a transport. Collected ducklings do not count as score until they are physically brought back to the **Nest**. Upon entering the nest radius, the ducklings disappear, and the score/nest level increases. * **Stealing Mechanic (PvP Simulation)**: * Generate AI Bot Ducks that wander the map collecting ducklings. * **The Intercept**: If Player A swims *through* the line of ducklings following Player B, the connection is severed. The cut-off ducklings immediately switch allegiance and start following Player A. * This is the core conflict: Protect your tail while trying to cut others' tails. * **Win/Loss**: There is no Game Over. The goal is to upgrade the nest size by delivering specific quotas of ducklings (e.g., 10 for Level 1, 50 for Level 2). ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Control Scheme**: **Floating Virtual Joystick**. The player touches anywhere on the screen and drags to steer the duck. The duck moves forward automatically; the joystick controls direction. * **Screen Orientation**: **Landscape** (Mandatory for IO games to see incoming threats). * **Camera**: Top-down isometric view. The camera must smooth-follow the player. As the line of ducklings grows, the camera should slightly zoom out to show the tail. * **UI Elements**: * **Score/Duck Counter**: Top center (Large text). * **Directional Arrow**: A UI indicator at the edge of the player's radius pointing towards the Nest (essential for navigation). * **Haptic Feedback**: Trigger a short vibration (if supported) when collecting a duckling or when your line is cut by an enemy. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
