Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Snakes and Ladders 3D Adventure**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** High-saturation, cartoon-style aesthetic similar to "Toon shading". The scene should feel like a digital board game played on a table. * **The Board:** A 10x10 grid (100 tiles total) modeled in 3D. Tiles should alternate between two distinct pastel colors (e.g., Sky Blue and Soft Red) with clear numbering (1 to 100) texture-mapped on top. The board follows a "boustrophedon" path (zig-zag upwards). * **Game Pieces:** * **Players:** 4 distinct low-poly pawns or "meeple" style character markers (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow). * **Obstacles:** 3D models of **Snakes** (coiled, cute cartoon style) connecting higher numbered tiles to lower ones. * **Aids:** 3D models of **Ladders** connecting lower numbered tiles to higher ones. * **Dice:** A 3D cube with standard dot textures, placed in a UI container or rolling on the board. * **Camera:** Use an **OrthographicCamera** fixed at an isometric angle to ensure the entire board is visible without distortion, or implement a smooth "follow-cam" that pans vertically as players ascend. * **Mobile Optimization:** Use simple Lambert or Phong materials for performance. Limit dynamic lights to one DirectionalLight (Simulating Sun) and one AmbientLight. Shadow maps should be low resolution or baked. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A cheerful, looping "Kids/Casual" style track. Instruments should include marimbas, flutes, or pizzicato strings to keep the mood lighthearted. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Dice:** Shaking sound (rattle) and a hard "clack" when the dice stops. * **Movement:** A "pop" or "hop" sound for every tile the player moves. * **Ladder:** An ascending harp glissando or magical chime. * **Snake:** A descending slide whistle or cartoonish "slip" sound. * **Victory:** Triumphant fanfare/confetti sound. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Setup:** Allow selection of 2 to 4 players (mix of Human vs. CPU). All tokens start at Tile 1. * **Turn Logic:** 1. **Roll:** Active player touches the "ROLL" button. 3D Dice animates/rotates physically. 2. **Move:** Token advances X tiles (1-6). Movement must be animated as individual hops (using `TWEEN.js` or equivalent interpolation), not instant teleportation. 3. **Check:** If token lands on the *bottom* of a Ladder -> Animate moving up to top. If token lands on the *head* of a Snake -> Animate sliding down to tail. 4. **Rule - The "6":** If a player rolls a 6, they get an immediate extra turn. 5. **Win Condition:** The first player to reach Tile 100 exactly wins. If the roll exceeds 100, the player bounces back the excess amount. * **CPU Logic:** If it's a CPU turn, add a 1-second delay before auto-rolling to allow the human player to follow the action. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation:** **Portrait Mode** (Vertical) is mandatory to accommodate the tall 10x10 board layout on mobile screens. * **UI/HUD:** * A large, thumb-friendly **"ROLL DICE" button** (minimum 88px height) fixed at the bottom center of the screen. * Current Player indicator at the top (e.g., "Player 1's Turn" with matching color background). * **Floating Text:** When a ladder is climbed or snake is hit, spawn floating 3D text (e.g., "NICE!", "OOPS!") that scales up and fades out (billboard style). * **Touch Feedback:** * Implement `navigator.vibrate(50)` on dice landing. * Implement `navigator.vibrate(200)` when sliding down a snake. * **Responsiveness:** The canvas must resize dynamically on window resize (`resize` event listener) to handle different aspect ratios without stretching the board. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.

Game Rules and Strategy

Basic Gameplay

Each player starts at square 1 and aims to reach square 100 first. Players take turns rolling a single die and moving their piece forward by the number shown. Landing on the bottom of a ladder allows you to climb to its top, while stepping on a snake's head sends you sliding down to its tail.

Special Rules

  • Rolling a 6 grants an extra turn
  • You must roll the exact number needed to reach square 100
  • If you roll higher than needed, you don't move on that turn
  • Players can share the same square

Winning Strategy Tips

While Snakes and Ladders is primarily a game of chance, understanding the board layout can help: - Memorize ladder locations (squares 1, 9, 21, 28, 36, 51, 71, 80) - Be aware of snake heads to anticipate potential setbacks - Stay positive - the longest snake can't eliminate all your progress - Remember that every player faces the same random challenges
