Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "2048 - 3D Minimalist Edition". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Minimalist "2.5D" aesthetic. The view should be a fixed, slight perspective top-down camera (not strictly orthographic, to show depth) focused on the 4x4 grid. * **The Board**: A sleek, dark grey container with 16 recessed slots (4x4 layout). It should look like a high-quality plastic or matte metal tray. * **The Tiles**: Instead of flat squares, generate 3D rounded cubes (chamfered box geometry). * **Color Coding**: Implement the classic 2048 color scheme dynamically. 2 (Light Grey), 4 (Beige), 8 (Orange), 16 (Dark Orange), ..., 2048 (Gold). * **Text Rendering**: Use `CanvasTexture` to dynamically draw the numbers on the top face of the cubes. The font should be bold sans-serif (e.g., Arial or Roboto), white or dark grey depending on contrast. * **Lighting**: Soft, 3-point studio lighting to highlight the beveled edges of the tiles. Shadows should be soft. * **Optimization**: Use `InstancedMesh` if possible for performance, but given only 16 tiles max, standard Mesh is acceptable. Ensure low polygon counts for the bevels. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A calm, ambient, lo-fi electronic track that encourages concentration. It should loop seamlessly. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Slide**: A soft, quick "whoosh" sound (low volume) when tiles move. * **Merge**: A satisfying "pop" or "bubble" sound. *Creative Logic*: Increase the pitch of the pop slightly as the merged number gets higher (e.g., merging 1024s sounds higher/sharper than merging 2s). * **Win**: A short, triumphant chime. * **Game Over**: A low, descending tone or soft thud. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Initialization**: Start with a 4x4 empty grid. Spawn two random tiles (value '2' or '4') at random empty positions. * **Core Mechanics**: * Player inputs a direction. All tiles slide as far as possible in that direction. * **Merge Logic**: If two tiles of the same number collide while moving, they merge into one tile with double the value. A tile can only merge once per turn. * **Spawning**: After every valid move (where at least one tile moved or merged), spawn a new tile (90% chance of '2', 10% chance of '4') in a random empty slot. * **Animations**: * **Movement**: Smooth interpolation (lerp) from start position to end position (~100ms). * **Merge**: A "scale bounce" effect (scale up to 1.2x then back to 1.0x) to emphasize the combination. * **Spawn**: Scale from 0 to 1 for new tiles appearing. * **End Conditions**: * **Win**: A tile with value 2048 is created (Game allows endless play after, but shows a victory toast). * **Lose**: No empty spots remaining AND no adjacent tiles have the same value (no moves possible). ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Touch Controls**: Implement a robust Swipe detection system. * Detect `touchstart` and `touchend` coordinates. * Calculate the delta X and Y. * Trigger move only if the swipe distance exceeds a threshold (e.g., 30px) to prevent accidental twitches. * Prevent default scrolling behavior on the canvas (`touch-action: none` in CSS). * **Screen Orientation**: Portrait Mode preferred. The camera FOV should adjust so the board fits within the width of the screen. * **UI Layout**: * **Score Display**: Floating HTML/CSS overlay at the top center. Large, readable font. * **Reset Button**: A clearly visible "Restart" icon/button at the top right (min touch target 44x44px). * **Haptic Feedback**: Trigger `navigator.vibrate(50)` on a successful merge to provide tactile confirmation. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.

Game Introduction

About the Game

2048 is a captivating single-player mathematical puzzle game that has taken the world by storm. In this deceptively simple yet incredibly challenging brain teaser, your goal is to merge tiles with identical numbers until you create a tile with the value 2048. Each successful merge doubles the tile's value, creating an exponential progression that requires careful planning and strategic thinking.

The game features a clean, minimalist design with a 4x4 grid that provides just enough space to challenge your spatial reasoning skills. With its elegant simplicity and addictive gameplay mechanics, 2048 has become a modern classic in the puzzle game genre.

Core Features

Simple Yet Strategic Gameplay

2048 combines easy-to-understand rules with deep strategic depth. Anyone can learn the basic mechanics in seconds, but mastering the optimal strategies takes practice and skill. The limited 4x4 grid creates constant tension between making moves and preserving space.

Pure Mathematical Logic

This isn't just a game of chance – every move matters. Success depends on understanding number patterns, planning ahead, and managing the limited grid space efficiently. The doubling mechanic creates satisfying mathematical progression from 2 to 4, 8, 16, and beyond.

Brain Training Benefits

Regular play of 2048 helps improve: - Mathematical thinking and number recognition - Strategic planning and foresight - Pattern recognition skills - Spatial reasoning abilities - Problem-solving under pressure

Accessible Everywhere

Play instantly in any web browser without downloads or installations. The game works perfectly on desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones, making it the perfect quick brain workout wherever you are.

Gameplay Mechanics

Basic Rules

The rules are elegantly simple: 1. Start with two random tiles (usually 2 or 4) on the 4x4 grid 2. Use arrow keys to slide all tiles in one direction 3. When two tiles with the same number touch, they merge into one tile with double the value 4. After each move, a new tile appears randomly on the board 5. Continue merging until you reach the 2048 tile to win

Strategic Depth

While the rules are simple, the strategy runs deep. You must: - Plan several moves ahead to avoid filling the grid - Maintain free spaces for new tiles to appear - Build towards larger numbers systematically - Avoid random movements that can trap high-value tiles

How to Play

Controls

  • Arrow Keys : Move tiles up, down, left, or right
  • WASD Keys : Alternative movement controls
  • Touch/Swipe : On mobile devices, swipe in the desired direction
  • R Key : Restart the game at any time

Winning Strategy Tips

  1. Pick a corner : Keep your highest tile in one corner and build around it
  2. Work in one direction : Focus on moving tiles primarily in two directions
  3. Don't fill the grid : Always maintain at least a few empty spaces
  4. Think ahead : Consider how each move affects the entire board
  5. Be patient : Rushing leads to mistakes and blocked positions

Why Play 2048?
