Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**3D Minimalist 2048**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** Clean, matte, minimalist aesthetic resembling the original flat design but elevated to 3D. Use an **Orthographic Camera** positioned at an isometric angle (approx 45 degrees) to maintain a clear view of the grid without distortion. * **Grid Container:** A rounded 4x4 baseplate (recessed slightly) with a "Background" color of `#bbada0`. The empty tile slots should be visible as slightly darker indentations (`#cdc1b4`). * **Tile Models:** Low-poly rounded cubes (ChamferBox). Textures/Materials must change color dynamically based on the number value: * 2: `#eee4da` (Light Beige) * 4: `#ede0c8` (Beige) * 8: `#f2b179` (Light Orange) * 16: `#f59563` (Dark Orange) * 32/64/etc: Shift towards reds and eventually yellows (Gold) for 2048. * **Typography:** Use 3D text or high-res texture sprites for the numbers on the tiles. Font should be bold Sans-Serif (like Arial or Helvetica), dark grey (`#776e65`) for low numbers and white (`#f9f6f2`) for numbers above 4. * **Animations:** Crucial for game feel. * **Spawn:** Tiles scale up from 0 to 1 (pop-in effect). * **Merge:** Tiles should pulse/scale up slightly (e.g., to 1.2x) and then settle back down when merged. * **Movement:** Smooth linear interpolation (Lerp) or Tweening for sliding tiles. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A quiet, "Zen" lo-fi electronic track or soft ambient jazz piano. It must be loopable and non-intrusive to aid concentration. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Slide:** A soft, short "swoosh" or friction sound (cloth on wood). * **Merge:** A satisfying, crisp "pop" or wooden "clack" sound. Pitch should slightly increase as numbers get higher. * **Game Over:** A low, descending chord. * **Win (2048):** A bright, triumphant chime or fanfare. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Initialization:** Start with a 4x4 grid. Spawn two tiles at random empty positions. 90% chance of a '2', 10% chance of a '4'. * **Movement Logic:** * Player swipes to move *all* tiles in that direction. * Tiles slide until they hit the wall or another tile. * **Merge Rule:** If two tiles of the same value collide, they merge into one tile with double the value (e.g., 8+8=16). A tile can only merge once per turn. * **Turn Progression:** If the grid state changes (at least one tile moved or merged), spawn a new random tile (2 or 4) in an empty slot. * **Scoring:** Add the value of the merged tile to the Total Score (e.g., creating a 16 adds 16 points). * **Win/Loss Conditions:** * **Win:** Create a tile with value 2048. (Offer an option to "Keep Playing"). * **Loss:** The grid is full, and no adjacent tiles have matching numbers (no valid moves possible). Display a "Game Over" UI overlay. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Touch Controls:** Implement a robust swipe detection system (touchstart, touchend). * Calculate the delta X and Y. * If horizontal delta > vertical delta: Trigger Left/Right move. * If vertical delta > horizontal delta: Trigger Up/Down move. * Set a minimum swipe distance threshold (e.g., 30px) to prevent accidental moves. * **Orientation:** Lock the game container to portrait aspect ratio (or square), centered on the screen, to ensure playability on both phones and tablets. * **Haptic Feedback:** Trigger a light vibration (Taptic Engine style) on every successful merge using `navigator.vibrate(50)` if supported. * **UI Layout:** Place the Score and "New Game" button above the 3D canvas. Ensure buttons have a minimum touch target of 44x44px. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.

Game Introduction

About 2048

2048 is a captivating single-player sliding tile puzzle game that has become a global phenomenon since its release. This mathematical puzzle challenges players to slide numbered tiles on a 4x4 grid, merging identical numbers to create larger values until reaching the ultimate goal: the 2048 tile.

The game begins with two tiles (either 2 or 4) randomly placed on the grid. Players use strategic thinking and forward planning to slide tiles in four directions, causing identical numbers to merge and double in value. What starts as simple addition quickly becomes a complex strategic challenge that tests your mathematical skills and spatial reasoning.

Game Strategy and Tips

Corner Strategy

The most effective approach is the corner strategy : - Keep your highest-value tile in one corner - Build descending number patterns around this corner - Never move your highest tile from its corner position - Fill the entire edge to protect your high-value tiles

Advanced Techniques

  • Pattern Recognition : Learn to identify beneficial merge opportunities
  • Forward Planning : Always consider how your current move affects future options
  • Board Management : Avoid spreading high-value tiles across the center
  • Patience : Resist hasty moves that might seem immediately beneficial

  2. Tile Movement : All tiles slide in the chosen direction until hitting a wall or another tile
  3. Merging Rules : Identical adjacent tiles combine into one tile with double the value
  4. New Tile Spawn : After each move, a new tile (2 or 4) appears randomly
  5. Winning Condition : Create a tile with the value 2048
  6. Game Over : No empty spaces remain and no merges are possible

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Choose a corner for your highest-value tile strategy
  2. Make your first move to start combining tiles
  3. Focus on building larger numbers near your chosen corner
