Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Beetle Solitaire". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: "Spooky-Cute" cartoon aesthetic. Use a color palette dominated by deep purples (background) and vibrant oranges (UI/Highlights), matching the game's logo. * **The Table**: A flat 3D surface with a dark purple texture featuring a subtle, scrolling spiderweb shader effect. * **Cards**: * Use `THREE.BoxGeometry` with very slight thickness to give cards a tactile 3D feel. * **Card Backs**: Texture featuring a stylized spiderweb pattern. * **Card Fronts**: Standard crisp solitaire faces, but replace the "Suits" icons with insect-themed variants (e.g., Spiders, Beetles, Flies, Ants) or keep standard suits but add a "web" overlay on the Kings. * **Particle Effects**: When a full stack (King to Ace) is completed, trigger a particle system where the cards dissolve into small glowing "beetles" that fly off-screen (symbolizing freeing them). * **Mobile Optimization**: Use `InstancedMesh` for the cards to reduce draw calls. Use low-poly geometry for any decorative elements. Ensure textures are compressed (basis/ktx2) if external, or procedurally generated canvas textures for performance. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A loopable, mischievous, and lighthearted track using pizzicato strings and woodwinds (reminiscent of Danny Elfman), creating a "sneaky" atmosphere without being distracting. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Card Flip**: A crisp, paper-snap sound. * **Card Land**: A soft thud/tap sound. * **Shuffle**: A classic riffling sound when dealing from the stockpile. * **Beetle Freed**: A magical chime or "pop" sound when a stack is completed. * **Error**: A dull wooden "thump" or "buzzer" sound if the player tries an invalid move. * **UI Click**: A wooden block click sound. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic**: Standard **Spider Solitaire** rules. * **Setup**: 10 columns of cards. Top card face up. * **Movement**: Drag cards to stack them in descending order (K, Q, J, 10... A). * **Suit Rules**: You can place any card on a card of one higher rank (e.g., 9 on 10) regardless of suit. However, you can only *move* a stack of cards if they are all the same suit. * **Empty Slots**: Any card or stack can be placed in an empty column slot. * **Stockpile**: Clicking the deck deals a new row of cards (one to each column). * **Win Condition**: Assemble 4 complete sets of King through Ace of the same suit. When a set is complete, it is removed from the board. * **Lose Condition**: The 30-minute countdown timer reaches zero, or no legal moves remain. * **Features**: * Include a "Score" counter. * Include a "Timer" display (countdown from 30:00). * Include an "Undo" button (limit to 3 uses per game as per description). ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Camera**: Use an Orthographic Camera to ensure card perspective remains consistent and tap targets are accurate across the screen. * **Touch Interaction**: * Implement a robust Raycaster for touch events (`touchstart`, `touchmove`, `touchend`). * **Drag & Drop**: Cards should visually lift (add shadow, slight Y-axis increase) and follow the finger/cursor 1:1 with no lag. * **Snap-to-Grid**: When a card is dropped near a valid target, it should smoothly lerp (animate) into the correct position. If dropped in an invalid spot, it snaps back to the origin. * **Smart Click**: Tapping a card should automatically move it to the best available legal spot if one exists. * **Screen Orientation**: **Portrait Mode** preferred for mobile to allow long columns of cards to be visible. * **UI Layout**: * Place the "Stockpile" deck at the bottom right. * Place "Undo" and "Restart" buttons at the bottom left (thumbs reach zone). * Buttons must have a hit area of at least 44x44 pixels. * **Feedback**: Trigger `navigator.vibrate(10)` (Haptic Feedback) when a card is successfully docked. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
