Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Traffic Jam: Destruction**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** Hyper-casual, Low-Poly, and minimalist. Use a **flat shading** aesthetic (MeshLambertMaterial or MeshToonMaterial). The color palette should be vibrant and high-saturation (e.g., bright orange cars, yellow player car, bright cyan background). * **Camera:** Use an **OrthographicCamera** positioned at an isometric angle (approx 45 degrees pitch, 45 degrees yaw) to perfectly mimic the screenshot's perspective. The view should be static, focusing on the intersection. * **Models:** * **Cars:** Construct cars using simple `BoxGeometry`. They should be blocky and cute. No complex textures; use vertex colors or solid materials. Separation between the car body, windows (light blue), and wheels (dark cylinders). * **Environment:** A T-junction or crossroad intersection. The road should be dark grey with white dashed lane markers (simple planes). The area outside the road should be a solid, bright blue color (simulating water or a clean void) as seen in the screenshot. * **Effects:** When a collision occurs, generate a "Particle Explosion" using small cube primitives that scatter in all directions with physics gravity. * **Mobile Optimization:** Use `InstancedMesh` for traffic cars if possible, or object pooling to prevent garbage collection stuttering. Keep the polygon count extremely low. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A quirky, upbeat, and fast-paced "rush hour" style track. It should feel rhythmic to encourage timing actions. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Launch:** A quick "Swoosh" or engine rev sound when the screen is tapped. * **Crash (Core Feedback):** A loud, comical metal crunch or "Bam!" sound when the player hits a traffic car. * **Miss/Fail:** A "skid" sound or a comical "whistle drop" if the player misses the target and drives off the road. * **Score:** A satisfying "Ding" ascending in pitch as the combo streak increases. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic:** The player controls a car at the bottom of the screen (waiting to enter the intersection). Traffic flows horizontally across the screen at varying speeds and intervals. * **Goal:** Unlike traditional traffic games, the goal here is **Destruction**. The player must tap to launch their car forward to intentionally **T-bone (crash into)** the passing traffic. * **Cycle:** 1. Traffic moves automatically. 2. Player taps screen -> Player car accelerates forward instantly. 3. **Collision:** If Player Car hits Traffic Car -> +1 Point, particle explosion, and the Player Car immediately resets to the starting position for the next shot. 4. **Miss:** If Player Car passes through the gap without hitting anything -> Game Over. * **Difficulty:** As the score increases, traffic cars move faster, and the gaps between them become unpredictable (sometimes huge gaps, sometimes tight convoys). ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Control Scheme:** Single-tap mechanic. The entire screen is the "button." * `touchstart` / `pointerdown`: Trigger the "Drive" command. * **Orientation:** **Portrait Mode** (Vertical) is mandatory to allow the player to see the intersection clearly with one-handed operation. * **UI Layout:** * **Score:** Large, bold font centered at the top (with a subtle bounce animation on update). * **Start Screen:** Simple overlay "Tap to Crash". * **Restart:** Large, thumb-friendly "Play Again" button (min-height 60px) appearing immediately on Game Over. * **Haptic Feedback:** Trigger `navigator.vibrate(200)` specifically on the moment of impact (the crash) to provide satisfying tactile feedback. Trigger a double pulse on Game Over. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
