Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Idle 3D Printer Factory**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Adopt a "Clean Industrial" aesthetic with low-poly, flat-shaded 3D models. The color palette should feature warm oranges (like the screenshot background) for the environment, contrasting with sleek whites, blacks, and blues for the machinery. * **Camera Perspective**: Use an isometric or high-angle perspective (orthographic camera preferred) to allow the player to view multiple printer stations simultaneously on a mobile screen. * **Core Assets**: * **3D Printers**: Stylized gantry-style printers. Key detail: The printer head (nozzle) must physically move back and forth along the X/Z axis while "printing." * **Products**: Simple geometric shapes initially (cubes, spheres), evolving into more complex low-poly items like robot heads (as seen in the screenshot), toy cars, or gears. * **Conveyor Belt**: A simple moving belt texture or segmented mesh that transports finished goods off-screen to a "Shipping" crate. * **Performance Optimization**: Use InstancedMesh for the printed products and conveyor segments to maintain 60 FPS on mobile devices. Use simple Lambert materials rather than expensive PBR materials. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A rhythmic, loopable "Lo-Fi Factory" track. Think light electronic beats mixed with mechanical rhythmic sounds (clinking, whirring) to create a productive but relaxing atmosphere. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Printing**: A high-pitched, synthesized *zzzt-zzzt* stepper motor sound that varies slightly in pitch to mimic printing movement. * **Completion**: A satisfying *ding* or "pop" sound when a model finishes. * **Selling**: A coin *cha-ching* sound when an item leaves the conveyor belt. * **Upgrade**: A heavy mechanical *clunk-hiss* (pneumatic sound) when buying a new machine or upgrading speed. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Loop**: 1. **Print**: Printers automatically generate progress bars. When full, a 3D object spawns. 2. **Transport**: The object moves along a conveyor belt to the right edge of the screen. 3. **Sell**: When the object exits the screen, the player earns Money ($). 4. **Upgrade**: Player spends Money to buy more printers (up to 6 slots), increase "Print Speed," or increase "Product Value." * **Clicker Mechanic**: Tapping a printer instantly boosts its progress bar by a significant amount (e.g., +10%), allowing active play to speed up the passive idle generation. * **Visual Progression**: As the "Product Value" is upgraded, the mesh being printed should change (Cube -> Pyramid -> Gear -> Robot Head), giving visual feedback of progress. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Screen Orientation**: **Portrait Mode** (Vertical) is mandatory. The factory layout should stack printers vertically (e.g., 2 columns of 3) so the user can easily scroll or see them all with one hand. * **Touch Interactions**: * **Tap to Speed Up**: Implement a Raycaster. Tapping any 3D printer mesh triggers a "wobble" animation (squash and stretch) and accelerates the printing process. * **UI Layout**: All upgrade buttons must be at the **bottom** of the screen (Thumb Zone). Buttons should be large (min height 50px) and distinctly colored (e.g., Green for "Buy/Upgrade"). * **Feedback**: * **Haptic**: Trigger a very short, light vibration (using `navigator.vibrate(10)`) on every tap interaction. * **Floating Text**: When a product sells, show a floating "+$10" text that drifts upward and fades out. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
