Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Color Strips". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: A "Juicy" and "Clean" 2.5D aesthetic using an **Orthographic Camera** to maintain a perfect puzzle grid perspective. The overall look should mimic vector art but with 3D lighting and soft shadows. * **Color Palette**: Use a soft pastel peach/light orange background (hex: #FFCC99) to match the title art. The game elements (Dots and Strips) must use high-saturation, distinct candy colors: Bright Red, Electric Blue, Lime Green, Sunny Yellow, and Magenta. * **Models**: * **Dots**: Create using `THREE.CylinderGeometry` (short, coin-like) or flattened `THREE.SphereGeometry`. They should have a slight sheen (MeshStandardMaterial). * **Strips (Lines)**: Generate dynamically using `THREE.TubeGeometry` or `THREE.ExtrudeGeometry`. They should look like flexible rubber cables connecting the dots. * **Grid**: A subtle, slightly darker indented board or tile system to denote the playable area (e.g., 5x5 or 6x6 grid). * **Performance**: Use `InstancedMesh` for the grid tiles to reduce draw calls on mobile. Limit polygon count on the tube geometries (e.g., `radialSegments: 8`). ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A relaxing, "Zen" style loop. Soft electric piano or marimba sounds with a slow tempo to encourage thinking without stress. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Interaction Start**: A soft "bubble pop" sound when touching a colored dot. * **Drawing Loop**: A subtle, rising synth hum that changes pitch as the line gets longer. * **Connection Success**: A pleasant harmonious chime (C-Major chord note) when a strip successfully connects two matching dots. * **Invalid Move**: A soft "rubber band snap" or dull thud if the player tries to cross an existing line. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic**: The game is played on a grid (e.g., 5x5). The grid contains pairs of colored dots. The player must draw a continuous "Strip" (line) connecting matching colored dots. * **Rules**: 1. Strips can travel horizontally or vertically, but not diagonally. 2. Strips **cannot overlap** or cross each other. 3. To win a level, **all** colored pairs must be connected, and (typically) **all** grid cells must be filled/traversed. * **Level Progression**: Start with a simple 3x3 grid with 2 colors, scaling up to 6x6 with 5 colors. * **Win State**: When the last connection is made, emit a particle confetti explosion and display a "Level Complete" modal. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Touch Logic**: Implement a robust Raycaster system handling `touchstart`, `touchmove`, and `touchend` events. * **Tap & Drag**: Player touches a dot and drags their finger to draw the strip. The strip should visually "snap" to the center of the nearest grid cell to prevent messy drawing. * **Screen Adaptation**: Lock the game to **Portrait Mode**. The grid needs to be centered with margins for UI (Level counter at top, Reset button at bottom). * **Visual Feedback**: * The strip being drawn should have a slightly glowing emission material. * When a finger hovers over a valid grid cell, highlight that cell slightly. * **Haptics**: Trigger `navigator.vibrate(10)` (light impact) every time the strip enters a new grid cell, providing tactile confirmation of movement. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
