Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Fall Words". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Minimalist "2.5D" aesthetic. Use a `THREE.OrthographicCamera` to maintain the flat 2D puzzle feel while giving objects 3D depth. * **Color Palette**: Use a soft, pastel color scheme similar to the reference. Background should be a light baby blue (`#d4ebf2`) or beige. Platforms should be muted green. Letters should be black or dark grey for high contrast. * **Models**: * **Letters**: Use `THREE.TextGeometry` to create extruded 3D letters. They should have a slight bevel to catch the light as they tumble. * **Stars**: Gold, low-poly stars that spin slowly on their Y-axis. * **Obstacles**: Simple geometric shapes (rectangles for platforms, circles for bumpers). * **Background Detail**: Create a subtle, repeating background pattern (tiled texture) containing faint sketches of aliens, hearts, and candy to hint at the "romantic alien storyline" mentioned in the description. * **Lighting**: Soft ambient lighting combined with a directional light to cast soft shadows, emphasizing the physical depth of the falling letters against the background. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A relaxing, Lo-Fi or "Cozy" electronic track. It should feel contemplative and romantic, matching the slow-paced puzzle nature. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Typing**: A satisfying "mechanical keyboard" click or a soft "pop" sound when a letter spawns. * **Collision**: A wooden "thud" or plastic "clack" when letters hit platforms or each other (velocity-dependent volume). * **Collection**: A magical chime or high-pitched "ding" when a letter touches a star. * **Win**: A short, uplifting synth chord progression. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic**: Physics-based word puzzle. The player types letters, and they spawn physically at the top of the screen (or from a specific emitter point). * **Physics**: Integrate a physics engine (like **Cannon.js** or **Matter.js** hooked into Three.js). The letters must respond to gravity, bounce off platforms, and stack on top of each other. * **Objective**: The goal is to use the physical shape and weight of the letters to touch and collect all "Star" objects on the screen. For example, an "I" might slide through a narrow gap, while an "O" might roll down a slope. * **Level Elements**: * *Static Platforms*: Lines the letters bounce off. * *Dominoes*: Tall blocks that can be knocked over by heavy letters (like 'W' or 'M'). * **Win Condition**: All stars on the stage have been contacted by a letter. * **Lose Condition**: (Optional for MVP) A limited number of keystrokes (ink limit) per level. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Screen Orientation**: **Portrait Mode** only. The camera and scene bounds must dynamically resize to fit mobile aspect ratios. * **Input Method (Virtual Keyboard)**: Since triggering the native mobile keyboard can obscure the WebGL canvas, implement a **custom HTML/CSS Overlay Keyboard** at the bottom of the screen (QWERTY layout). * Buttons should be at least 44x44px for touch targets. * Pressing a key on this UI immediately spawns that letter in the game world. * **Input Box**: Display a visual indicator (like the "oo" in the screenshot) showing the last few letters typed or the current buffer. * **Feedback**: * **Haptics**: Trigger `navigator.vibrate(10)` on every keypress for tactile feedback. * **Visual**: The key pressed on the virtual keyboard should briefly highlight/shrink. ### 5. Technical Constraints * Ensure the physics simulation is locked to the XY plane (z-axis movement constrained) so letters don't fall "out" of the screen towards the camera. * Use `requestAnimationFrame` for a smooth loop. * Handle window resize events to keep the Orthographic camera zoom correct. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
