Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Multiplayer Quick Tag**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** A **2.5D Voxel/Pixel Art style**. Although rendered in 3D using Three.js, the aesthetic should mimic the provided 8-bit screenshot. Use `THREE.BoxGeometry` to construct characters and the environment to look like 3D pixel art. * **Characters:** Create 4 distinct playable characters based on the screenshot colors: **Red, Green, Purple, and Yellow**. Characters should be blocky (voxel style) with simple animations (legs moving back and forth) when running. * **Environment (The Arena):** A contained platforming arena (side-scrolling view but fixed camera fitting the whole stage). * **Background:** A light blue sky with low-poly white clouds and a parallax layer of pixelated green trees. * **Platforms:** Static blocky platforms arranged in a way that allows verticality (jumping up/dropping down). * **Mobile Optimization:** Use `InstancedMesh` for repeating environment blocks to reduce draw calls. Use simple materials (Lambert or Basic) to ensure high FPS on mobile devices. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A fast-paced, high-energy **8-bit Chiptune** track that loops seamlessly, creating a sense of urgency. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Jump:** A retro synthetic "boing" or rising pitch sound. * **Tag:** A sharp "slap" or "hit" noise when players collide. * **Countdown:** A ticking clock sound for the last 5 seconds of a round. * **Elimination:** A descending "fail" sound when a player loses a life. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic:** A "Hot Potato" style Tag game. The game supports **1 Human Player vs 3 AI Bots**. * **Rules:** 1. At the start, one random player is marked as "IT" (visualized by a glowing particle effect or an arrow over their head). 2. The "IT" player moves slightly faster but must tag (touch) another player to pass the "IT" status. 3. **Tag Cooldown:** After tagging someone, the tagger cannot be tagged back for 1 second (to prevent instant reversals). 4. **Timer:** A round lasts 15-30 seconds. When the timer hits zero, the player currently marked as "IT" loses a life. 5. **Victory:** The last player remaining with lives wins. * **AI Behavior:** * If "IT": AI calculates the path to the nearest player and sprints toward them. * If "Not IT": AI calculates the path furthest away from the "IT" player (flee behavior). ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation:** **Landscape Mode** is mandatory. * **Touch Controls:** Implement a robust Virtual Gamepad on the screen canvas. * **Left Side:** Two large distinct buttons (or a virtual joystick) for **Left** and **Right** movement. * **Right Side:** Two large distinct buttons for **Jump** and **Tag/Dash**. * ** Responsiveness:** Movement must be snappy (high friction, instant acceleration) to allow for precision platforming. * **Feedback:** * Add **Screen Shake** slightly when a tag occurs. * Highlight the pressed virtual buttons visually to confirm touch input. * Ensure UI buttons have a hit area of at least 44x44px for accessibility. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
