Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**PickCrafter 3D**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Voxel/Pixel-Art aesthetic transformed into 3D. The scene should be bright, colorful, and cartoonish. * **Central Object (The Block)**: Create a large, rotatable 3D Cube in the center of the screen representing the current resource (starting with "Dirt", progressing to "Stone", "Iron", "Gold", "Diamond"). Use simple textures with pixelated noise. * **The Tool (The Pickaxe)**: A 3D model of a Pickaxe (constructed from small cubes/voxels to mimic the pixel art style in the reference image) positioned in the foreground, angled as if held by a first-person player. * **Background**: A dynamic, animated background. Recreate the "starburst" effect from the screenshot using a shader or a rotating mesh behind the main block, using purple and pink hues. * **Particle Effects**: When the block is tapped, generate "debris" particles (small cubes) that explode outward from the impact point and fade away. * **Optimization**: Use `InstancedMesh` for particles to maintain 60FPS on mobile. Keep geometry simple (BoxGeometry). ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A lighthearted, looping "Chiptune" or 8-bit synth-pop track that is upbeat but not distracting. * **SFX - Mining**: Distinct sounds for hitting different materials (e.g., a dull "thud" for dirt, a sharp "clink" for stone/ores). Pitch shift the sound slightly on each tap to prevent audio fatigue. * **SFX - Collection**: A satisfying "pop" or magnetic sound when resources are collected. * **SFX - UI**: crisp "click" sounds for opening menus and buying upgrades. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic**: The user taps anywhere on the screen to swing the pickaxe. Each tap deals damage to the central Block. * **Block Destruction**: The block has a health bar. When health reaches 0, the block breaks (playing a fracture animation), resources are added to the inventory (e.g., "+1 Dirt"), and a new block immediately spawns. * **Progression System**: * **Currency**: "Picks" (currency earned by breaking blocks). * **Upgrades**: A shop menu to buy: 1. **Strength**: Increases damage per tap. 2. **Critical Chance**: Chance to deal double damage. 3. **Passive Drill**: A visible drill that automatically damages the block every second (Idle mechanic). * **Biomes**: After breaking a certain number of blocks, the background color changes, and the block types upgrade (e.g., Plains -> Desert -> Cave). ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Touch Controls**: Implement a full-screen invisible touch zone. Tapping *anywhere* triggers the pickaxe swing. This ensures one-handed playability. * **Screen Orientation**: Force **Portrait Mode** layout. * **Haptic & Visual Feedback**: * Trigger `navigator.vibrate(50)` on every tap (if supported) for tactile feedback. * Implement "Juice": The central block should scale down slightly (`0.9x`) on impact and bounce back (elastic easing). The whole camera should have a very subtle shake effect on critical hits. * **Floating Text**: Display damage numbers and resource gains (`+1`) floating upwards from the block on every tap. * **UI Layout**: * Top Center: Current Block Health Bar and Block Name. * Top Right: Total Resource Counter. * Bottom: Large, thumb-friendly buttons (minimum 48px height) for "Gear/Upgrades" and "Biomes". These should open overlays, not change the scene. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
