Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Classic Rummy". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Adopt a sleek, premium casino aesthetic. Use a dark, rich felt texture (deep emerald green or burgundy) for the table surface to contrast sharply with the cards. The overall lighting should be a soft, warm overhead spotlight effect that creates subtle shadows under the cards to give them depth (2.5D perspective). * **Card Assets**: Procedurally generate playing cards using canvas textures or load a lightweight sprite sheet. Cards must be crisp and legible on small screens. Use standard French suits (Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, Spades). The J, Q, K face cards should have simplified, elegant vector art to reduce noise. * **UI Elements**: Use a gold/metallic finish for buttons and headers (referencing the "Rummy" logo in the screenshot). * **Performance**: Since this is a card game, keep the poly count extremely low. Each card should be a simple PlaneGeometry or a thin BoxGeometry. Use InstancedMesh for the deck to optimize draw calls. * **Camera**: Use an OrthographicCamera or a fixed PerspectiveCamera looking down at a 60-degree angle to ensure the playing field is flat and readable, maximizing screen real estate for the player's hand. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A loop of smooth, low-tempo Jazz or Lounge piano music. It should be relaxing and unobtrusive, evoking a high-end card room atmosphere. * **SFX**: * **Card Flip**: A crisp "snap" sound. * **Card Shuffle**: The sound of a riffle shuffle when the game starts. * **Deal**: A "woosh" sound for cards flying to the hand. * **Select/Tap**: A subtle wooden "tock" sound. * **Meld/Set Success**: A satisfying major chord chime or a "ding" indicating a valid move. * **Victory**: A short, celebratory brass fanfare. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic**: Turn-based Rummy (Gin Rummy variant). 1. **Draw**: Player starts turn by dragging a card from the Stockpile (face down) or Discard Pile (face up). 2. **Meld (Optional)**: Player checks if they have sets (3 or 4 of a kind, e.g., 7? 7? 7?) or runs (3+ consecutive cards of same suit, e.g., 4? 5? 6?). 3. **Discard**: Player must end their turn by dragging one card to the Discard Pile. * **AI Opponent**: A basic AI that draws, attempts to form internal sets, and discards the least useful card (highest value unrelated card). * **Win Condition**: The first player to "Go Out" (form valid combinations with all cards in hand plus one discard) wins the round. * **Scoring**: Face cards = 10 points, Aces = 1 point (low), Number cards = face value. The loser's remaining hand value is added to the winner's score. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation**: **Landscape Mode** is mandatory to allow sufficient width for displaying a hand of 7-10 cards clearly. * **Touch Interactions**: * **Drag & Drop**: The primary interaction. Users drag cards from the pile to their hand, rearrange cards within their hand, and drag a card to the discard pile. * **Snap-to-Grid**: Cards released near the discard pile or hand slots must snap into position smoothly (using Tween.js for animation). * **Hit Areas**: Make the invisible raycast hit areas for cards 20% larger than the visual mesh to accommodate "fat finger" errors on mobile. * **Visual Feedback**: * **Selection Highlight**: When a card is touched, lift it slightly (z-axis) and add a glowing yellow border (OutlinePass). * **Valid Move Hint**: If a player drags a card near a valid destination (like the discard pile), the destination should pulse. * **UI Layout**: * **Player Hand**: Centered at the bottom of the screen. Cards overlap slightly but fan out or separate when touched. * **Opponent Hand**: Top of screen, showing only card backs. * **Decks**: Center of the table. Left = Stockpile, Right = Discard Pile. * **Buttons**: A prominent "Sort Hand" button (sorts by Rank/Suit) near the player's hand. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
