Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Toonle: Frame-by-Frame Animation Studio**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** A clean, minimalistic 2D interface embedded within a 3D workspace. The aesthetic should be "Digital Paper" — crisp white canvas areas, soft drop shadows for depth, and rounded UI elements. The background should be a subtle, calming gradient (e.g., light cyan to pastel blue) or a desk texture to give the feeling of an animator's workspace. * **3D Elements:** While the drawing is 2D, represent the "frames" as physical film strips or paper sheets floating in 3D space. When the user switches frames, animate the camera or the paper stack to simulate flipping a page (onion skinning metaphor). * **Tools:** Render 3D representations of drawing tools (pencil, brush, eraser) that hover near the active canvas. * **Performance:** Since this involves drawing, prioritize canvas texture performance. Use low-poly meshes for UI decorations and optimize the line rendering (use performant line shaders or texture-based strokes rather than heavy geometry for every pixel). ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A very lo-fi, chill-hop, or acoustic guitar track. It needs to be repetitive but non-intrusive to aid concentration and creativity. * **SFX:** * **Drawing:** Distinct sounds for different tools (scratchy pencil sound for sketching, wet marker sound for coloring, soft rubbing sound for erasing). * **UI:** Satisfying "pop" or "click" sounds when selecting tools or colors. * **Animation Playback:** A rapid "film projector" clicking sound or paper flipping sound when the user hits "Play" to preview their animation. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic:** The user draws on a central canvas. They can add a new frame, which saves the current drawing and clears the canvas for the next frame. * **Onion Skinning:** Crucial feature. When drawing on Frame 2, Frame 1 should be visible as a faint, semi-transparent layer underneath to guide the animation movement. * **Playback:** A prominent "Play" button compiles the frames and loops them at a set frame rate (e.g., 12 FPS) to show the animation. * **Tools:** * **Brush Size:** A slider to adjust thickness. * **Color Palette:** A simple color picker. * **Eraser:** To remove mistakes. * **Copy/Paste Frame:** To duplicate the previous drawing for slight modifications. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Touch Input (Critical):** The drawing logic must map touch coordinates (touchstart, touchmove, touchend) precisely to the Three.js 3D plane or 2D canvas texture. It must support multi-touch rejection (so resting a palm doesn't draw, if possible, or strictly follow the primary touch point). * **Orientation:** Support both Portrait (for tall animations) and Landscape (for widescreen). The UI should flow responsively (tools at the bottom for portrait, on the side for landscape). * **UI Sizing:** All buttons (Play, Add Frame, Tools) must be at least 44x44 pixels. The color picker should be large enough to tap easily. * **Gestures:** * **Two-finger pinch:** To zoom in/out of the canvas. * **Two-finger drag:** To pan around the canvas while zoomed in. * **Undo/Redo:** Implement a prominent "Undo" button or a double-tap gesture (optional but recommended). * **Feedback:** When a tool is selected, it should visually scale up slightly or highlight. Drawing strokes should appear instantly without lag. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
