Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Pinball Idle". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Vaporwave/Neon Arcade aesthetic. Use a high-contrast color palette: deep purple (`#2E004E`) for the floor background, bright neon yellow for UI text, and glowing cyan/magenta/lime green for game objects. * **Geometry**: Use low-poly primitives to ensure 60 FPS on mobile devices. * **Table**: A rectangular tray with a grid texture floor (white lines on purple). * **Bumpers**: Cylinders with emissive materials (glowing red/orange). * **Balls**: Simple spheres with a metallic or shiny material. * **Decor**: Small geometric shapes (stars, flat circles) scattered on the floor plane. * **Camera**: Fixed high-angle perspective (Isometric or top-down with a slight tilt), optimized for a **Vertical (Portrait)** aspect ratio to match a pinball table layout on a phone screen. * **Optimization**: Use `THREE.InstancedMesh` for the pinballs, as the game will eventually render many balls simultaneously. Use basic lighting (Ambient + Directional) or unlit emissive materials to save battery power. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A loopable, chill "Synthwave" or "Lo-fi Retrowave" track. Low tempo to encourage relaxing gameplay. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Collision**: A variety of retro synthesized "dings" and "bops" when balls hit bumpers. Pitch should vary slightly to prevent monotony. * **Income**: A soft "coin" or "cash register" sound whenever score is generated. * **UI**: A high-tech "click" sound when purchasing upgrades. * **Level Up**: A satisfying rising arpeggio chord. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic (Idle Physics)**: Unlike traditional pinball, the player does **not** control flippers. Balls spawn automatically from the top and bounce physically using a physics engine (e.g., Cannon.js integration). * **Scoring**: Every time a ball collides with a bumper, wall, or decorative object, the player earns "Cash". * **Progression/Upgrades**: * **New Balls**: Purchase to increase the number of balls on the table simultaneously. * **Add Obstacles**: Buy new bumpers/pegs to place on the empty board (increasing collision density). * **Income Multiplier**: Upgrade the value of each hit. * **Physics Tweaks**: Upgrade "Bounciness" (restitution) so balls stay alive longer before falling through the drain at the bottom. * **Reset**: When a ball falls out the bottom, it enters a queue to respawn at the top automatically. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Screen Orientation**: **Portrait Mode** strictly. The pinball table should fill the upper 70% of the screen. * **Control Scheme**: * **No Direct Control**: Players do not steer the balls. * **Upgrade Panel**: The bottom 30% of the screen is a dedicated UI panel for upgrades. * **Tap Interaction**: Tapping the playfield creates a small "repulsion" force (visualized as a ripple) to nudge balls slightly, giving the player something to do while waiting for money. * **UI Design**: * Buttons must be large (minimum 44x44px hit area) and clearly separated for thumb use. * Text should be large, bold, and readable on small screens. * **Feedback**: * **Visual**: Floating text pop-ups showing cash earned ("+$10") at the point of collision. * **Haptic**: Trigger `navigator.vibrate(5)` (short tick) whenever a ball hits a high-value bumper. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
