Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Fast Words". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** Casual "Digital Board Game" aesthetic. Bright, glossy, colorful look similar to plastic fridge magnets or Scrabble tiles. * **Background:** A high-quality, seamless wooden plank texture (resembling a tabletop) acting as the static background plane. * **Game Pieces (Tiles):** * Use `RoundedBoxGeometry` to create smooth, squarish tiles. * **Colors:** Create a palette of vibrant colors (Hot Pink, Cyan, Lime Green, Bright Yellow) for the active falling letters, and White/Cream for the UI/Target placeholders. * **Text:** Map dynamic letters onto the front face of the tiles. * **Lighting:** Warm, overhead directional lighting (casting soft shadows onto the wooden background) combined with ambient light to ensure visibility. * **Optimization:** Use low-poly geometry for the tiles. Ensure textures are power-of-two sizes. Use object pooling for the falling letter tiles to prevent garbage collection stutter on mobile devices. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A rhythmic, upbeat, "thinking" track. Styles like Marimba or light Jazz that speeds up slightly as the game level increases. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Spawn:** A soft "pop" or "whoosh" sound when letters enter the screen. * **Correct Tap:** A satisfying wooden "clack" or a high-pitched digital chime. * **Wrong Tap:** A dull, hollow thud or low-pitched buzzer. * **Word Complete:** A cheerful major chord or fanfare. * **Game Over:** A descending slide whistle or "breaking" sound. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Phase 1: The Target:** At the start of a round, a target word (e.g., "VOLCANIC") is displayed clearly at the top of the screen. * **Phase 2: The Drop:** The individual letters of the target word spawn at random X-positions at the top of the screen and fall downwards. They should not fall in a straight line but "flutter" (using a sine wave for slight left-right movement) and rotate slowly to increase difficulty. * **Phase 3: The Interaction:** The player must tap the falling letters **in the correct spelling order**. * *Example:* If the word is "CAT", the player must tap 'C' first. Tapping 'A' or 'T' before 'C' counts as a mistake or is ignored. * *Visual Feedback:* When correctly tapped, the tile zooms to a specific slot in a "Completed Word" tray at the bottom. * **Difficulty Curve:** As the player completes words, the fall speed increases, and the spawn rate becomes faster. * **Win/Loss:** * *Win:* Spell the word completely to advance to the next word. * *Loss:* If a required letter reaches the bottom of the screen before being tapped, the game ends. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Camera:** Fixed Orthographic camera or Perspective camera looking straight down (Top-Down view) to ensure the touch inputs translate 1:1 to screen coordinates easily. * **Orientation:** **Portrait Mode** (Vertical) is required to maximize the fall distance and accommodate one-handed play. * **Input System:** Use `Raycaster` for touch/mouse detection. * **Touch Optimization (Crucial):** * Since the description mentions "small hitboxes," implement an invisible "hitbox" sphere around each letter that is 20% larger than the visual mesh to make tapping easier on small screens. * Prevent default browser behaviors (zooming/scrolling) on touch events (`touch-action: none`). * **Feedback:** * **On Tap:** The tile should instantly scale up (1.2x) and flash white briefly to confirm input responsiveness. * **Haptics:** Trigger `window.navigator.vibrate(15)` on a successful tap if supported. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.

Game Introduction

About the Game

Fast Words is a thrilling word-spelling challenge that combines education with fast-paced action gameplay. With a solid 4.3/5 star rating from players worldwide, this free online game challenges you to spell words by tapping individual letters as they fall from the screen at ever-increasing speeds.

The game presents you with a target word upfront, then challenges you to tap each letter in the correct sequence as they flutter down the screen. What starts as a simple spelling exercise quickly becomes an intense test of hand-eye coordination and spelling accuracy.

Challenging Precision Gameplay

The game features intentionally small hit-boxes for letters, requiring precise timing and accuracy. This design choice makes the game more challenging and rewarding when you successfully complete difficult words.

Tips for Success
