MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Match Arena: Puzzle Battle**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: "Juicy" and vibrant cartoon 3D style. The game should look like a high-quality mobile casual game. * **Gem Assets**: Create 5 distinct types of 3D gems using basic Three.js geometries to represent "Candies/Gems": * **Red Heart**: Low-poly heart shape or a sphere with red color. * **Blue Drop**: A teardrop shape or a cone/sphere combo. * **Green Triangle**: A tetrahedron or triangular prism. * **Purple Diamond**: An octahedron. * **Yellow Square**: A rounded cube or chamfered box. * **Material**: Use `MeshStandardMaterial` with high `roughness: 0.1` and `metalness: 0.3` to simulate a glossy, candy-like surface. Add a bright DirectionalLight to create specular highlights (shininess). * **The Board**: An 8x8 grid placed on a background that resembles a chocolate bar or a dark wooden board (dark brown colors) to provide high contrast for the colorful gems. * **Mobile Optimization**: Use `InstancedMesh` for the gems if possible for performance, or ensure geometry reuse. Keep the poly count low for each gem. Use a fixed camera angle (Orthographic or Perspective with narrow FOV) looking slightly down at the board, optimized for Portrait mode. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A playful, whimsical loop using synthesizer or pizzicato strings sounds. It should feel competitive but lighthearted (similar to *Candy Crush* or *Toon Blast*). * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Swap**: A quick "whoosh" or air-cutting sound. * **Match**: A satisfying, high-pitched "pop" or "ding" sound. * **Invalid Move**: A low-pitched "thud" or spring wobble sound. * **Combo/Cascade**: An ascending scale of chimes for subsequent matches in a single turn. * **Win**: A short triumphant fanfare. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic**: Classic Match-3. The player swaps adjacent gems to create horizontal or vertical lines of 3 or more identical gems. * **The "Arena" Twist (PvE)**: Instead of just clearing levels, the player is battling an AI "Piggy King". * **Turn-Based Battle**: The player has a limited number of moves (e.g., 20 moves). * **Scoring**: Every match generates points. * **Win Condition**: The player must reach a target score (e.g., 2000 points) before the moves run out. * **Cascade**: When gems are matched, they disappear (scale down to 0), and gems above fall down to fill the gap. New gems spawn at the top. * **Special Gems**: * Match 4: Creates a "Glowing Gem" that clears a whole row/column when matched. * Match 5: Creates a "Color Bomb" that clears all gems of a specific color. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Touch Controls**: Implement a Raycaster-based touch system. * **Gesture**: Detect "Swipe" gestures (TouchStart -> TouchMove -> TouchEnd) to trigger swaps. If the swipe distance is too short, treat it as a tap (Select first gem -> Tap second gem to swap). * **Orientation**: **Portrait Mode Only**. The camera and grid scaling must dynamically adapt to `window.innerWidth` / `window.innerHeight` to ensure the 8x8 grid fits perfectly within the width of a phone screen. * **Feedback**: * **Visual**: When a gem is selected, highlight it (e.g., scale up slightly or emit a glow). When gems match, spawn simple particle explosion effects. * **Haptic**: Trigger `navigator.vibrate(50)` on a successful match to provide tactile satisfaction. * **UI**: * Display "Moves Left" and "Current Score" vs "Target Score" at the top of the screen. * UI buttons and text must be large and legible on small screens. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
