Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Drop & Merge: 2048 Physics Puzzle". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Create a **2.5D orthographic view**. The game board should be a vertical grid (5 columns x 7 rows) set against a dark, matte navy-blue background (`#1a1a2e`). * **Block Design**: Generate **rounded cubes** (chamfered box geometry) for the number blocks. They should look glossy and tactile. Use a vibrant color palette mapped to numbers (e.g., 2: #FF5E78 [Pink], 4: #4AE7A4 [Green], 8: #42C2FF [Blue], 16: #4255FF [Dark Blue], 32: #FFB342 [Orange], etc.). Textures should display the number centered in white, bold font (Arial/Roboto). * **Lighting**: Use a three-point lighting setup (Ambient + Directional) to create soft shadows and specular highlights on the glossy blocks, enhancing the "candy-like" aesthetic. * **Effects**: Implement a simple particle explosion system using `THREE.Points` that triggers when two blocks merge (confetti style, matching the color of the merged block). * **Mobile Optimization**: Use a single shared geometry for all blocks (instanced mesh if possible, or cloned meshes) to keep draw calls low. Limit shadow map resolution. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A relaxing, low-tempo "lo-fi hip hop" or "ambient electronic" track that helps concentration but isn't distracting. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Drop**: A "whoosh" sound when the block falls rapidly. * **Impact**: A soft wooden "thud" when a block lands. * **Merge**: A satisfying, high-pitched "pop" or "ding" (rising in pitch as the number gets higher) for successful merges. * **Combo**: A rapid succession of chime sounds if multiple merges happen in one turn. * **Game Over**: A descending, dissonant tone. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Spawn**: A new block (usually 2, 4, 8, or rarely 16) spawns at the top of the selected column. * **Drop Logic**: Unlike Tetris, the player chooses a column (1-5) and the block falls straight down to the lowest empty slot. * **Merge Mechanics**: When a falling block lands on a static block of the **same number**, they merge into a single block with the sum value (e.g., 4 falling on 4 becomes 8). * **Chain Reaction**: If the new merged block is adjacent to another block of the same number (vertically or horizontally), they merge again instantly. * **Score System**: Score += (New Number Value). Display high score at the top. * **Lose Condition**: If any column fills up to the "Danger Line" (top row) and a new block cannot spawn or be placed, trigger Game Over state. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Input Handling**: * **Touch & Drag**: The player touches anywhere on the bottom 2/3 of the screen and drags horizontally to move the "falling block" indicator across the 5 columns. * **Release to Drop**: Upon releasing the finger, the block drops instantly into the highlighted column. * **Visual Feedback**: * Show a "Ghost Block" or a light beam highlighting the column where the block will land while dragging. * Add **Haptic Feedback** (using `navigator.vibrate` if available): A light tap on block landing, a medium vibration on merge, and a heavy vibration on Game Over. * **UI/UX**: * Ensure the game canvas scales to `window.innerWidth` and `window.innerHeight`. * Prevent default browser scrolling/zooming gestures (`touch-action: none`). * The restart button on the Game Over screen must be large (min 44x44px) and easily accessible. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.

Game Introduction

About the Game

Drop & Merge the Numbers is a captivating puzzle game that combines the beloved mechanics of 2048 with exciting dropping gameplay. This addictive merge puzzle challenges you to strategically drop numbered blocks, merge identical numbers, and create increasingly larger values. Your ultimate goal is to reach the coveted 2048 tile while achieving the highest score possible.

The game features colorful numbered blocks that fall from the top of the screen, similar to classic Tetris mechanics but with a mathematical twist. Each number is a multiple of 2, creating endless opportunities for strategic combinations and satisfying merges.

Core Features

Strategic Number Dropping

Every move counts in this brain-teasing puzzle. You must carefully consider where to place each falling block to maximize merge opportunities. The game rewards forward-thinking players who can visualize potential combinations several moves ahead.

Combo System

One of the most exciting features is the ability to merge multiple identical blocks simultaneously. Instead of just combining two blocks, you can create massive combos by aligning three or more identical numbers, resulting in spectacular chain reactions and bonus points.

Progressive Difficulty

As you advance and create larger numbers, the game becomes increasingly challenging. Managing space becomes crucial as blocks accumulate, requiring careful planning to prevent the stack from reaching the top.

High Score Challenge

Compete against yourself and others by achieving the highest possible score. The game tracks your best performances, motivating you to improve your strategy and reach new heights.

Gem Collection System

Earn valuable gems during gameplay that can be used to purchase helpful advantages for future games, adding an extra layer of progression and strategy.

Gameplay Mechanics

How Merging Works

When two or more blocks with identical numbers touch each other, they automatically merge into a single block with double the value. For example, two "4" blocks merge to create an "8" block, two "8" blocks create a "16" block, and so on until you reach 2048.

Block Placement Strategy

Since blocks appear randomly, you must think quickly while planning strategically. Group similar-valued blocks together to prepare for future merges. Placing a high-value block like "128" next to a low-value "2" block wastes valuable space and merge opportunities.

Game Over Conditions

The game ends when your blocks reach the top row of the playing field. This creates constant tension as you must balance creating merges with managing your available space.
