Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Helix Jump". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Minimalist, high-contrast, "hyper-casual" aesthetic. * **The Tower**: A central vertical cylinder (White). Attached to it are circular platform slices (`RingGeometry` or `TorusGeometry` segments) arranged in a helix pattern. * **Safe Zones**: Bright Orange platforms. * **Danger Zones**: Darker/Red segments on the platforms (randomly placed). * **The Player**: A bright Red sphere (`SphereGeometry`) that bounces rhythmically. * **Background**: A simple gradient skybox (e.g., Cyan to Deep Blue) that contrasts well with the orange/white foreground. Background color should shift slightly every level. * **VFX**: * **Paint Splats**: When the ball bounces on a platform, leave a small flat decal (a circle plane) on the surface to indicate impact. * **Trail**: A particle trail follows the ball when it falls through multiple layers (combo). * **Explosion**: When a platform is destroyed (Fireball mode), it should shatter into triangular particles. * **Mobile Optimization**: Use low polygon counts for the sphere (32 segments) and cylinder. Use `MeshLambertMaterial` or `MeshPhongMaterial` for performant lighting. Reuse geometries for platforms. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A repetitive, hypnotic, upbeat electronic track (120 BPM) to encourage flow state. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Bounce**: A short, high-pitched "plop" or "boing" sound (vary pitch slightly per bounce). * **Pass**: A "whoosh" sound when falling through a gap. * **Impact/Break**: A crunching/shattering sound when breaking a platform in Fireball mode. * **Game Over**: A dissonant "buzz" or low thud. * **Level Complete**: A cheerful ascending chime. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Physics**: The ball bounces automatically on the Y-axis. It has constant gravity. The bounce height is fixed. The ball does *not* move on X or Z axes relative to the screen center; the world rotates around it. * **Core Mechanic**: * The player rotates the **Tower** (cylinder + platforms), not the ball. * The ball falls through gaps in the platforms. * **Win Condition**: Reach the bottom platform to trigger the "Level Complete" state and load the next helix. * **Fail Condition**: Touching a "Danger Zone" (Red segment) results in immediate Game Over. * **Combo System (Fireball Mode)**: * If the ball passes 3 or more platforms without touching them (free fall), it gains a "Fireball" visual effect (glow/flame). * The next impact while in Fireball mode will **destroy** the platform (even if it's a danger zone) and reset the bounce height. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Input Handling**: * **Type**: Horizontal Drag / Swipe. * **Events**: Listen for `touchmove` (mobile) and `mousemove` (desktop fallback). * **Logic**: Calculate the horizontal delta (change in X position) of the touch. Map this delta to the `rotation.y` of the central Tower group. * **Sensitivity**: High sensitivity is needed. Small thumb movements should rotate the tower significantly. * **Camera Behavior**: * A `PerspectiveCamera` positioned slightly above and away from the ball (angled down ~45 degrees). * **Smooth Follow**: The camera must strictly follow the Ball's Y-position (using `Math.lerp` for smoothness) but stay fixed in X and Z. * **UI/UX**: * **Score**: Large, minimalist number at the top center. * **Progress Bar**: A vertical bar on the right edge showing distance to the bottom. * **Restart**: A large, thumb-friendly transparent overlay button (full screen or 80% width) appears on Game Over. * **Haptic Feedback**: Trigger `navigator.vibrate(20)` on every bounce and `navigator.vibrate(50)` on platform destruction/Game Over. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
