Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Daily Takuzu" (a 3D minimalist binary logic puzzle). Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** Minimalist, clean, and Zen. Use a "Flat 3D" aesthetic with an Orthographic Camera to maintain puzzle readability while utilizing 3D depth for polished feedback. * **The Grid (Core Asset):** Use `THREE.InstancedMesh` for the grid tiles to optimize performance for mobile devices (supporting up to 14x14 grids). * **Tile Geometry:** Rounded cubes (BoxGeometry with bevels) to give a tactile, "physical button" feel. * **Color Palette:** * **Empty:** Soft Off-White / Light Grey (`#F0F3F4`). * **Red State:** Vibrant, matte Red (`#E74C3C`). * **Black State:** Dark Slate / Charcoal (`#2C3E50`). * **Locked/Starting Tiles:** Same colors but with a subtle "metallic" roughness or a lock icon texture to distinguish them from player-editable tiles. * **Background:** A soothing, slow-moving gradient shader or a static tranquil color (e.g., muted sage green or soft lavender) that contrasts well with the red/black tiles. * **Lighting:** Soft ambient light combined with a directional light to cast soft shadows below the tiles, emphasizing depth. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A procedural or looped Ambient/Lo-Fi track. Think "Erik Satie" piano vibes or soft atmospheric pads to induce concentration. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Tile Tap:** A satisfying, organic "wooden block" click or soft "stone" clack. * **Invalid Move:** A subtle, low-pitched "thud" if the player tries to place a 3rd consecutive color. * **Victory:** A harmonious major-chord ascending arpeggio. * **UI Interaction:** Soft clicks for menu buttons. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Initialization:** The game starts with a menu to select Grid Size (8x8, 10x10, 12x12, 14x14) and Difficulty. The board is pre-filled with some locked tiles based on Takuzu logic. * **Core Mechanic:** * The grid consists of Red and Black squares. * **Interaction:** Tapping a cell cycles its state: **Empty -> Red -> Black -> Empty**. * **Rules (Validation Logic):** 1. **No Triplets:** Never allow three consecutive squares of the same color in a row or column. 2. **Balance:** Each row and column must contain an equal number of Red and Black squares. 3. **Uniqueness:** No two rows or columns can be identical. * **Victory Condition:** The board is completely filled, and all rules are satisfied. Show a "Success" modal with a "Next Daily Challenge" button. * **Helper Tools:** Include an "Undo" function and a "Restart" function. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Touch Controls:** Implement a precise Raycaster attached to `pointerdown` events. Support single taps to cycle tile colors. * **Camera Logic:** * Use an **OrthographicCamera**. * Implement automatic "fit-to-screen" logic: Determine the grid's bounding box and adjust the camera zoom so the entire grid fits within the safe area of a vertical mobile screen (Portrait Mode). * **Animations:** * **Flip Effect:** When a tile changes color, animate it rotating 180 degrees on the X-axis (like a card flip) rather than instantly changing color. * **Error Feedback:** If a move breaks the "No Triplets" rule immediately, shake the affected tiles slightly. * **UI Layout:** * Place the Grid in the visual center (slightly offset upwards). * Place "Undo", "Restart", and "Menu" buttons in the bottom 20% of the screen (the thumb interaction zone). * Ensure all touch targets are at least 44x44 pixels. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
