Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Dino Dig - Archaeological Excavation". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Realistic archaeological simulation. Use a palette of earthy tones (ochre, tan, brown, grey). The rendering should aim for a semi-realistic look similar to the "Walking with Dinosaurs" movie aesthetic, rather than low-poly cartoon style. * **Camera**: Fixed top-down perspective (orthographic or high-FOV perspective) focusing on a patch of ground (the "Dig Site"). * **Terrain Layers**: * **Top Layer**: Loose sand/dust (requires Brushing). * **Middle Layer**: Hard dirt/rock encrusting the bones (requires Picking). * **Bottom Layer**: The fossil bed containing the dinosaur skeleton (Ribcage, Skull, or Tail similar to the provided screenshot). * **Tools**: 3D models or high-quality sprites for a **Brush**, **Pickaxe**, and **Shovel** visible in the UI. * **VFX**: Particle effects when digging (dust clouds for brushing, rock chips for picking). A "shimmer" effect on the bone when fully revealed. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: Cinematic, orchestral, and awe-inspiring (reminiscent of nature documentaries), but kept ambient and low-volume to not distract from the digging. * **SFX**: * **Digging**: Gritty crunching sounds for the pickaxe; soft, sandy sweeping sounds for the brush. * **Discovery**: A metallic "clink" or heavy thud when a tool hits a hidden bone. * **Success**: A short triumphant orchestral swell when the fossil is 100% revealed. * **UI**: Soft stone sliding sounds for menu interactions. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Mechanic - The Excavation**: The core loop is "layer removal." The player is presented with a patch of ground hiding a fossil. * The player must switch tools to remove different types of terrain. * **Pickaxe**: Breaks hard rocks (Tap interaction). If used on the bone directly, it damages the "Fossil Quality" score. * **Brush**: Clears away the final layer of dust to reveal the bone (Swipe/Rub interaction). * **Progress & Win State**: A percentage bar shows "Excavation Progress." Once the bone is >95% revealed without excessive damage, the level is won. * **Reward**: Upon winning, the skeleton animates (rattles), and a popup appears showing the dinosaur "alive with skin" (concept art style) with a fun fact, fulfilling the educational aspect. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation**: Portrait mode (for one-handed play) or Landscape (for tablet view), focusing on a large interactive dig area. * **Touch Controls**: * **Tool Swapping**: A bottom-bar UI with large icons (min 44px touch target) to toggle between Pickaxe and Brush. * **Interaction**: * **Tap**: To use the Pickaxe (removes chunks of hard dirt). * **Drag/Rub**: To use the Brush (uses a dynamic texture mask to "erase" the sand layer). * **Haptic Feedback**: Crucial for mobile immersion. * Light vibration when brushing sand. * Heavy vibration when the pickaxe hits rock. * Distinct "Double Pulse" when a tool hits the actual bone (warning the player). * **UI Layout**: Keep the excavation area in the center. Tool selector at the bottom thumb zone. Progress bar and "Fossil Health" bar at the top. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
