Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Line Rider 3D Reimagined". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Minimalist "Living Doodle" aesthetic. The world should look like a vast, infinite sheet of high-quality white paper. * **Camera**: Use an **Orthographic Camera** to maintain the classic 2D perspective and drawing precision, but render the entities (Rider, Sled) as 3D low-poly models with **Toon Shading (Cel Shading)** and black outlines to mimic the original vector art style. * **Character (Bosh)**: A stylized, low-poly humanoid character with a red scarf. The scarf should have physics (using a chain of bone constraints or a simple trail renderer) to flow in the wind based on velocity. * **The Sled**: Simple geometric construction (tubes or extruded shapes) resembling a wooden sled. * **The Lines**: * **Blue Lines**: Normal solid surfaces (acceleration/support). * **Red Lines**: Acceleration boosters. * **Green Lines**: Scenery (non-physical). * Render lines as `THREE.Mesh` (TubeGeometry) rather than simple `THREE.Line` for better visibility and collision thickness on mobile screens. * **Optimization**: Use object pooling for line segments. Limit shadow casting to the rider only (blob shadow) to save mobile GPU resources. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A calm, Lo-Fi hip-hop or acoustic guitar track that encourages focus and creativity. It should fade out or become muffled when the simulation speed is very high. * **SFX - Drawing**: Realistic "pencil scratching on paper" sounds that vary in pitch based on the speed of the user's drawing gesture. * **SFX - Riding**: * A "swoosh" wind sound that modulates volume based on the sled's velocity. * "Wood on ice/paper" sliding sound. * Comical "thud" or "crunch" sounds (ragdoll impact) if the rider crashes. * **UI SFX**: Satisfying "click" or "pop" sounds for tool selection (Pencil, Eraser, Hand tool). ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Mode A: Edit Mode (The Canvas)**: * The game starts in a paused state. The player uses touch input to draw lines on the canvas. * **Logic**: The code must convert screen touch coordinates to world coordinates to generate physics bodies (using a physics engine like Cannon.js or Oimo.js) and visual meshes simultaneously. * **Mode B: Play Mode (The Simulation)**: * Player hits "Play". Physics simulation activates. * The sled starts at the spawn point and interacts with the drawn lines via gravity and friction. * **Win Condition**: There is no winning; the goal is artistic expression and physics experimentation. * **Fail Condition**: The rider separates from the sled or impacts a line with their head (Ragdoll trigger). * **Restart**: The player stops the simulation, the rider resets to the start, and the player refines the track. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Touch Drawing (Crucial)**: * Implement **Offset Drawing**: The line should appear slightly *above* the user's finger (y-offset ~50px) so the user's hand doesn't obscure the line being drawn. * **Smoothing**: Apply a Catmull-Rom spline or simple distance-based smoothing to touch input to prevent jagged lines caused by touch screen jitter. * **Navigation**: * **Two-finger Pan**: Move the camera around the infinite canvas. * **Pinch to Zoom**: Scale the camera zoom to see the whole track or focus on details. * **UI Layout (Landscape Mode)**: * **Toolbar**: A vertical bar on the Right side (thumb reachable) containing icons for: Pencil (Blue/Red/Green), Eraser, Hand (Pan), and Trash (Clear All). * **Playback Controls**: A persistent "Play/Stop" Floating Action Button (FAB) in the Bottom-Left corner. * **Buttons**: Minimum touch target size of 48x48px with visual press feedback (scaling down slightly on touch). Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.

Game Introduction

About the Game

Line Rider is one of the most beloved physics-based drawing games of all time, offering players unlimited creative freedom to build sledding tracks and watch their character navigate them. This classic game combines simple drawing mechanics with sophisticated physics simulation, creating an endlessly entertaining experience that has captivated millions of players worldwide.

The game's premise is beautifully simple: draw a line, and watch Bosh (the sledder) ride on it. What makes Line Rider truly special is how this basic concept opens up infinite possibilities for creativity, from simple downhill slopes to complex multi-level tracks with jumps, loops, and spectacular stunts.

Core Features

Unlimited Creative Freedom

Line Rider provides you with a blank canvas and the tools to create anything you can imagine. There are no predetermined levels or restrictions – every track is your own creation. Draw gentle slopes for relaxing rides or design death-defying jumps and loops for extreme sledding adventures.

Realistic Physics Engine

The game features an advanced physics simulation that makes every ride feel authentic. Your sledder responds realistically to momentum, gravity, and track angles. Watch as he gains speed on steep descents, loses momentum on uphill climbs, and performs spectacular crashes when tracks are too extreme.

Multiple Drawing Tools

Create diverse track experiences with different line types: - Regular lines : Standard track surfaces for normal sledding - Acceleration lines : Boost your rider's speed for bigger jumps - Scenery lines : Decorative elements that don't affect gameplay - Eraser tool : Perfect your designs by removing unwanted sections

Instant Playback System

Test your creations immediately with the play button. Watch your sledder attempt your track, then pause, rewind, or restart to analyze the ride and make improvements. The seamless transition between drawing and testing makes iteration quick and enjoyable.

Cross-Platform Compatibility

Originally a Flash game, Line Rider has been updated to HTML5, ensuring it works perfectly on modern browsers across all devices. Play on desktop computers, tablets, or smartphones without any downloads or installations required.

Gameplay Mechanics

Track Creation Process

Building tracks in Line Rider is intuitive and rewarding. Start by sketching a basic path, then refine it by adding curves, jumps, and obstacles. The game encourages experimentation – try different angles and slopes to see how they affect your rider's performance.

Physics Considerations

Successful track building requires understanding basic physics principles. Steep downhill sections build speed, while uphill climbs slow your rider down. Sharp angles can cause crashes, while smooth curves maintain momentum. Learning to balance these elements is key to creating successful tracks.

Creative Challenges

Many players enjoy setting personal challenges, such as: - Creating the longest possible ride - Designing tracks with multiple loops - Building realistic mountain courses - Creating artistic track designs - Making tracks that spell words or form pictures
