Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Classic Snakes and Ladders 3D". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Create a vibrant, cartoonish aesthetic similar to the reference image. The game board should be a flat 3D plane divided into a 10x10 grid (100 tiles total), numbered 1 to 100 in a "boustrophedon" path (zigzagging upwards). * **Environment**: The background should be a lush, top-down view of stylized grass (using a repeating texture) with scattered low-poly 2D billboard flowers to add depth without high polygon cost. The lighting should be bright and sunny (DirectionalLight) with soft shadows. * **Board Elements**: * **Ladders**: 3D models of wooden or colorful plastic ladders connecting lower tiles to higher tiles. They should look inviting and sturdy. * **Snakes**: Cartoonish 3D snakes (or curved tubes with snake textures) connecting high tiles to lower tiles. They should look mischievous but not scary. * **Player Pawns**: Simple, high-contrast pawn shapes (like "Parcheesi" or "Sorry!" game pieces) in distinct colors: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow. Use a shiny plastic material (MeshStandardMaterial with roughness 0.2). * **Dice**: A 3D cube with standard dot textures. It needs a tumbling animation capability. * **Performance**: Use simple geometries (BoxGeometry for tiles, CylinderGeometry for pawns) to keep the draw call count low for mobile browsers. Merge the board geometry where possible. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **Background Music (BGM)**: A cheerful, looping "picnic style" tune. It should feature pizzicato strings, a light flute melody, and a gentle acoustic guitar rhythm. The tempo should be moderate and relaxing. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Dice Roll**: A rattling sound of a die shaking in a cup, followed by a hard wooden "clack" when it lands. * **Pawn Move**: A "pop" or "hop" sound for each tile the player moves. * **Ladder Climb**: A rising, magical harp glissando or a "ding-ding-ding" ascending scale. * **Snake Slide**: A comical "whistle-down" slide whistle sound effect or a squishy rubber sound. * **Win**: A triumphant fanfare with confetti popper sounds. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Turn-Based System**: The game supports 2 players (Player vs AI or Player vs Player hot-seat). * **Core Mechanic**: 1. Active player taps the dice to roll (generate random 1-6). 2. Pawn automatically advances that many squares. 3. **Collision Check**: * If the pawn lands at the *bottom* of a **Ladder**, it automatically moves to the top of the ladder (Bonus). * If the pawn lands at the *head* of a **Snake**, it automatically slides down to the tail (Penalty). * **Winning Condition**: The first player to land exactly on square 100 wins. If a player rolls a number higher than needed to land on 100, they bounce back (excess movement moves them backwards from 100). * **Camera**: Use a fixed OrthographicCamera or a high-angle PerspectiveCamera to ensure the entire board is visible on portrait mobile screens without needing to zoom. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation**: **Portrait Mode** is preferred to accommodate the vertical nature of the 10x10 grid on mobile phones. * **Dice Interaction**: * Place a large, floating 3D die or a 2D UI button in the bottom center of the screen (the "Thumb Zone"). * **Touch Feedback**: When the dice is tapped, trigger a short vibration (using `navigator.vibrate(50)` if available) and animate the dice spinning rapidly before settling. * **UI Layout**: * Player turn indicator (e.g., "Player 1's Turn") should be at the top, large and readable. * Ensure all buttons have a minimum touch target size of 44x44 pixels. * **Visual Feedback**: When a pawn moves, do not just teleport it. Lerp (interpolate) the position so it hops from tile to tile smoothly. Highlight the current active player's pawn with a subtle glow or bobbing animation. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
