Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Snakes and Ladders". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** A vibrant, family-friendly "Backyard Garden" aesthetic. The scene should be bright, utilizing high-saturation colors (Lush Green, Bright Yellow, Sky Blue) similar to the reference image. * **Camera:** Fixed perspective (orthographic or slightly tilted perspective camera) capturing the entire 10x10 board to prevent the need for scrolling on mobile screens. * **The Board:** A 10x10 grid plane placed on top of a seamless grass texture background. The tiles should alternate in color (e.g., light green and cream) or have a checkerboard pattern, clearly numbered 1 to 100 in a zigzag pattern (boustrophedon path). * **Game Pieces (Pawns):** Use low-poly geometric compositions (Sphere on top of a Cone/Cylinder) to represent classic board game pawns. Create 2 distinct colors (e.g., Red vs. Blue) for a 2-player mode. Materials should look like shiny plastic. * **Snakes & Ladders Models:** * **Ladders:** Simple 3D ladder models connecting specific lower squares to higher squares. * **Snakes:** Tube geometries extruded along a curve connecting specific high squares to lower squares. Give them a striped texture (orange/white or green/yellow) to match the cartoon style. * **Lighting:** Soft Ambient Light + a Directional Light (Sun) to cast soft shadows from the pawns onto the board, adding depth. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A looping, whimsical track featuring pizzicato strings, marimba, or light woodwinds to create a "sunny afternoon" vibe. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * *Dice Roll:* A realistic plastic rattling/clattering sound. * *Pawn Move:* A soft "pop" or "thud" for each tile hop. * *Ladder Climb:* A rising harp scale or a magical "ding" sound. * *Snake Slide:* A comical "slide whistle" descending pitch or a cartoonish "boing." * *Win:* Fanfare trumpets and confetti pop sound. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Game Logic:** Classic Snakes and Ladders rules on a 100-tile board. * **Turn-Based System:** 1. **State - Idle:** Player touches the "Roll Dice" button. 2. **State - Rolling:** A 3D cube (Die) spins and lands on a random number (1-6). 3. **State - Moving:** The active player's pawn advances X tiles. **Crucial:** The movement must be animated as individual hops between tiles, not a teleport. 4. **State - Event Check:** * If landing on a **Ladder Bottom**: Animate pawn sliding UP to the ladder top. * If landing on a **Snake Head**: Animate pawn sliding DOWN to the snake tail. 5. **State - Win Check:** If the player reaches exactly tile 100, they win. If they roll higher than needed, they bounce back (or stay put, depending on simplified logic preference—let's use bounce back for excitement). 6. **Switch Turn:** Pass control to the next player (or CPU). ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation:** Portrait Mode preferred (to accommodate the vertical nature of the 10x10 grid and UI). * **Main Action Button:** A large, circular "ROLL" button floating at the bottom center of the screen. It must be at least 80x80px for easy thumb access. * *Visual Feedback:* The button should depress or scale down slightly when tapped. * **Turn Indicator:** A clear UI banner at the top showing "Player 1's Turn" or "CPU's Turn" with a color matching the current pawn. * **Menu/Restart:** A small "Pause/Settings" icon in the top right corner (safe area compatible). * **Haptic Feedback:** Trigger `navigator.vibrate(50)` when the dice lands and when a snake bites the player. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
