Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Lucky Balls**" (a Zuma-style marble shooter). Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** Retro-modern Arcade 3D. Use a bright, saturated color palette (Red, Green, Yellow, Blue) for the balls, mimicking the "glossy plastic" look of the original screenshot using `MeshPhysicalMaterial` with high roughness and clearcoat. * **The Spiral Path:** Create a procedurally generated spiral path (TubeGeometry) that starts from the outer edge of the screen and winds inward toward a central "Death Hole." The background should be a soothing, static blue gradient plane with a subtle spiral watermark pattern to maintain performance. * **The Shooter:** A central turret model (composed of simple geometric shapes like a Cylinder and Sphere) located in the exact center of the screen. It must hold the "current" ball to be fired. * **Mobile Optimization:** Use `SphereGeometry` with reduced segments (e.g., 16x16 or 24x24) for the balls to ensure 60FPS on mobile devices. Implement Object Pooling for the projectiles and particles to avoid garbage collection stutters. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** An upbeat, looping "casual arcade" track using a synthesizer (approx. 120 BPM) to keep energy high but not distracting. * **Sound Effects (Synthesis based):** * **Shoot:** A distinct "Whoosh" or "Pop" sound. * **Impact:** A "Clack" sound when the fired ball hits the chain. * **Match/Clear:** A satisfying "Chime" or high-pitched "Ding" when 3+ colors match. * **Game Over:** A descending "Buzzer" or "Whirring down" sound if balls reach the center. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic:** A continuous chain of colored balls moves along the spiral path towards the center. The player controls the central turret. * **Shooting & Matching:** The player shoots a colored ball into the chain. If the ball hits a group of 2 or more balls of the same color (forming a group of 3+), those balls destroy/disappear. * **Chain Reaction:** If destroying balls causes two separated segments of the same color to collide, they should merge and potentially trigger a combo match. * **Win/Loss:** * **Win:** Clear all balls in the wave. * **Lose:** Any ball reaches the central "Death Hole." ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Touch Aiming:** Implement a "Tap to Shoot" mechanic. * **Logic:** When the user taps anywhere on the screen, the central turret immediately rotates to face that coordinate and fires the ball. * **Raycasting:** Use Three.js Raycaster to detect the exact touch point on the play plane. * **Orientation:** Support **Portrait Mode** as the primary view (easier for one-handed mobile play), but ensure the camera scales the FOV correctly if rotated to Landscape. * **UI & Feedback:** * **Explosion Particles:** When balls match, spawn simple particle bursts (using `PointsMaterial`) matching the ball color. * **Haptic Feedback:** Trigger `navigator.vibrate(50)` on a successful match (if supported). * **UI Layer:** HTML/CSS overlays for "Score" (top left) and a large, thumb-friendly "Restart" button that appears only on Game Over. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
