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:** Low-poly, hyper-casual aesthetic similar to "Crossy Road" or standard .io games. Use **Orthographic Camera** positioned isometrically (high angle, rotated 45 degrees) to replicate the screenshot's perspective. * **Color Palette:** High saturation and contrast. * **Background:** A solid, vibrant cyan/sky blue (#29B6F6) representing water or void. * **Roads:** Dark asphalt (#333333) with crisp white dashed lane markers. Roads should appear as floating platforms. * **Cars:** Blocky, simple geometries (BoxGeometry). Player cars are bright Yellow; Enemy/Traffic cars are bright Orange. Wheels can be simple dark cylinders. * **VFX (Visual Effects):** * **Explosions:** When cars collide, generate a particle system burst (cubes or triangles) in the color of the cars involved. * **Smoke:** Little puff particles when a car accelerates. * **Screen Shake:** The camera must shake violently but briefly upon successful impact to sell the "destruction" feel. * **Mobile Optimization:** Use `InstancedMesh` for road segments if possible. Implement object pooling for cars and particles to avoid garbage collection stutters on mobile devices. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM (Background Music):** A fast-paced, quirky, and rhythmic track (ticking clock style or energetic ska/polka) to build tension and encourage timing. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Launch:** A "Vroom" or engine rev sound when the screen is tapped. * **Impact:** A comedic but loud "Metal Crunch" or "Crash" sound. * **Score:** A satisfying "Ding" or "Cash register" sound overlaid on the crash. * **Miss:** A "Screeching halt" or "Sad trombone" if the player misses the traffic and drives off the road. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic:** Unlike traditional traffic games where you avoid cars, here the goal is to **cause accidents**. * **Setup:** The player has a queue of yellow cars waiting at a T-junction (bottom of screen). * **Traffic:** A continuous stream of orange cars drives horizontally across the screen on the main road. * **Action:** The player must time their input to launch their car forward so it T-bones (crashes into) a passing orange car. * **Win/Loss Condition:** * **Success:** Hitting a car creates a wreck, clears the intersection instantly (despawns), adds +1 to Score, and brings up the next player car. * **Failure:** If the player launches too early (hits nothing and falls off the road) or too late (hits the gap between cars), the game is over. * **Progression:** Traffic speed should increase slightly after every 5 successful crashes. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Controls:** **Single-tap anywhere on the screen**. This is a "One-Touch" arcade game. No virtual joysticks needed. * **Orientation:** **Portrait Mode** (Vertical) to allow for easy one-handed play on smartphones. * **UI/UX:** * **Start Screen:** A large "Tap to Start" overlay. * **Score:** Displayed clearly at the top center in a large, bold, sans-serif font (white with black outline). * **Restart:** On Game Over, a large "Replay" button (minimum 60x60 pixels touch area) centered on the screen. * **Haptic Feedback:** Trigger `navigator.vibrate(200)` (strong vibration) on every successful crash. This is crucial for the tactile feel of "destruction." Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
