Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Daily Tracks". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Clean, minimalist "Digital Board Game" aesthetic. Use an **Orthographic Camera** (`THREE.OrthographicCamera`) to ensure the puzzle grid is perfectly flat and readable without perspective distortion. * **Color Palette**: * Background: Off-white or light cream (`#F5F5F5`) to simulate a drafting paper surface. * Grid Lines: Subtle light grey. * Tracks: Metallic grey (`#555555`) for rails, warm wood brown (`#8B4513`) for sleepers. * UI/Clues: Dark grey text for row/column numbers. * **Models (Low Poly)**: * **Track Piece**: Create a single generic cylinder/box group that can be transformed. It needs states for: Vertical, Horizontal, Top-Right Curve, Top-Left Curve, Bottom-Right Curve, Bottom-Left Curve. * **Start/End Points**: Distinctive markers (e.g., a green flag or a small station box). * **Markers**: An 'X' mesh (red or grey) to denote "no track" zones. * **Performance Optimization**: * Use `THREE.InstancedMesh` for the grid tiles if possible to reduce draw calls, as grids can go up to 15x15. * Textures should be procedural (colors) or very low resolution (512x512 max). ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A relaxing, looping lo-fi or acoustic guitar track. It should be non-intrusive to aid concentration. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Placement**: A satisfying "wooden clack" or "snap" sound when a track piece is placed. * **Error**: A subtle low-pitch "thud" if a move is invalid (optional). * **Win**: A cheerful train whistle followed by the sound of a train chugging along the tracks. * **UI**: Soft clicks for menu buttons (Undo, Restart). ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Objective**: Connect the **Start** tile to the **End** tile with a continuous single track. * **Constraints**: * **Clue System**: The top and left sides of the grid must display numbers. These numbers indicate exactly how many track segments are in that specific column or row. * **Path Logic**: The track cannot cross itself. It must be a single continuous line. * **Win Condition**: The level is complete when: 1. Start and End are connected. 2. Every row and column has exactly the number of track pieces specified by the clues. * **Victory Animation**: Upon solving, spawn a simple cube or low-poly train model that traverses the created path from Start to End. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Touch Interaction**: * **Drag-to-Draw**: Implement a raycaster system where the user touches a tile and drags to an adjacent tile. The system should automatically calculate the correct track piece (straight or curve) based on the direction of entry and exit. * **Tap-to-Mark**: A double-tap or a toggle button in the UI should allow the user to place an 'X' (blocker) on a tile. * **Camera**: Fixed top-down view. No rotation needed. Allow **Pinch-to-Zoom** and **Two-finger Pan** if the grid is larger than the screen width (e.g., 15x15 mode). * **Screen Adaptation**: * Responsive design that detects Portrait vs. Landscape. * In Portrait: Grid in center, Clue numbers on Top/Left, UI buttons (Undo, Restart, Easy/Hard) at the bottom. * Ensure touch targets are at least 44x44 pixels. * **Feedback**: Highlight the current tile under the finger/cursor with a semi-transparent color. Provide haptic feedback (vibration) on valid track placement if the device supports it. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.

Game Mechanics

The puzzle revolves around constructing a continuous railway track that meets specific numerical requirements. Each row and column displays a number indicating how many track segments must pass through that line.

Track Construction Rules

  • Tracks can only be straight lines or 90-degree curves
  • The complete track must connect from the designated start to end points
  • Track segments cannot cross or overlap themselves
  • Each row and column must contain the exact number of track pieces shown in the clues

Strategic Elements

Success requires careful planning and logical deduction. You must analyze the numerical clues to determine where track segments can and cannot be placed, gradually building the complete railway path.

How to Play

Basic Controls

  1. Drag and Drop : Select track pieces and drag them onto the grid
  2. Track Types : Use straight tracks and curved (90-degree) pieces
  3. Helper Tiles : Utilize X, ?, and blank tiles to mark impossible or uncertain spaces
  4. Undo Function : Made a mistake? Use the undo button to reverse your last move
  5. Restart Option : Start completely over if you need to rethink your strategy

Solving Strategy

  1. Analyze Clues : Study the numbers around the grid perimeter
  2. Start Simple : Begin with rows or columns that have obvious solutions
  3. Mark Impossibilities : Use X tiles to block spaces where tracks cannot go
