Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Traffic Loop". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** Create a "Stylized Low-Poly Toy City" aesthetic. The world should feel vibrant and colorful, like a living diorama. Use simple geometric shapes (BoxGeometry, CylinderGeometry) to construct cars, buildings, and trees to ensure high performance on mobile devices (aim for <60 draw calls). * **The Track:** Generate a closed-loop road system (e.g., a rounded rectangle or figure-8 shape) using a custom mesh or texture. The road should have lane markings. * **The Cars:** Create distinct car models based on "Tiers." * Tier 1: Small hatchback (White). * Tier 2: Sedan (Blue). * Tier 3: Sports car (Red). * Tier 4: Truck (Gold). * *Note:* Cars must visually "snap" to the road lanes or the central "Parking/Merging Grid." * **Environment:** Surround the track with simplified skyscrapers and trees. Use a soft, warm directional light + ambient light to create a cheerful "morning rush hour" vibe without harsh shadows. * **UI Overlay:** Use HTML/CSS overlays for the HUD. A "Buy Car" button at the bottom center, and a "Total Cash" display at the top center. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A lighthearted, rhythmic "City Pop" or "Bossa Nova" track that loops seamlessly. It should be relaxing, reinforcing the "Idle" nature of the game. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Merge:** A satisfying, high-pitched "Pop" or "Blob" sound when two cars combine. * **Income:** A "Ka-ching" or coin sound every time a car crosses the Start/Finish line. * **Speed Up:** A revving engine sound when the player taps the screen to boost speed. * **UI:** A soft click sound for buying cars. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **The Core Loop:** 1. **Buy:** Player taps a button to spawn a Level 1 car in the central "Parking Grid." 2. **Merge:** Player drags and drops a car onto another car of the same level to merge them into a higher-level vehicle (Level 1 + Level 1 = Level 2). 3. **Race:** Player drags a car from the Parking Grid onto the Road Loop. The car automatically drives around the loop. 4. **Earn:** Every time a car completes a lap (passes a checkpoint), the player earns currency. Higher-level cars are faster and earn more money per lap. * **Traffic Logic:** Cars on the track must follow a predefined path (`CatmullRomCurve3`). They should have simple collision avoidance (slowing down if the car in front is close). * **Idle Mechanic:** Cars continue to drive and earn money even if the player isn't interacting. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Camera Control (Touch):** * **One-finger drag (on background):** Rotates the camera around the city center (OrbitControls logic, but smoothed). * **Pinch:** Zooms the camera in and out. * **Game Interaction (Raycaster):** * **Drag & Drop (Primary):** Implement `touchstart`, `touchmove`, and `touchend` events. Raycast to detect if the user is touching a car. If dragging, the car should float slightly above the ground. If dropped on a matching car -> Merge. If dropped on the Road -> Start Driving. * **Tap (Secondary):** Tapping anywhere on the road area triggers a temporary "Speed Boost" for all active cars (x2 speed for 2 seconds) to simulate clearing traffic. * **UI Design:** All buttons (Buy, Upgrade) must be in the bottom 25% of the screen (Thumb Zone). Buttons should be large (min 44x44px) with visual press-down feedback. * **Feedback:** Trigger `navigator.vibrate(20)` (Haptic Feedback) whenever a successful merge occurs. Show floating text ("+$100") near the car when it earns money. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
