Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Mahjong for Christmas". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** Festive, cartoon-style 3D aesthetics. The scene should feel like a cozy winter wonderland. * **Tile Models:** Use `THREE.BoxGeometry` (or `RoundedBoxGeometry` for smoothness) to create Mahjong tiles. * **Dimensions:** Aspect ratio approx 3:4:2 (Width:Height:Depth). * **Textures:** The top face must feature distinctive Christmas icons (e.g., Santa, Reindeer, Wreath, Bells, Gingerbread Man, Snowman, Candy Cane, Snowflake). Use high-contrast colors (Red, Green, Gold, White) for readability on small screens. * **Material:** The sides and back should look like bone, ivory, or polished wood. * **Background:** A static, high-quality 2D background texture of a snowy village at night (similar to the reference image) or a cool blue gradient skybox. * **Atmosphere:** Implement a simple particle system (`THREE.Points`) to simulate gently falling snow in the foreground. * **Lighting:** Soft Ambient Light (cool white) + Directional Light (warm yellow) casting soft shadows to emphasize the depth of the tile stacks. * **Performance:** Reuse Geometries and Materials. Limit the total tile count to standard Mahjong layouts (e.g., Turtle formation ~144 tiles) to maintain 60FPS on mobile. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A relaxing, instrumental loop of "Jingle Bells" or "Deck the Halls". It should be soothing, not frantic (Jazz or Lullaby style). * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Select:** A crisp wooden "clack" or "tap" sound. * **Match:** A magical "chime" or "sleigh bell" jingle. * **Invalid Move:** A soft, dull thud. * **Shuffle:** The sound of tiles cascading. * **Win:** A festive fanfare. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic:** 3D Mahjong Solitaire (Shanghai Solitaire). * **Rules:** 1. The player can only select "free" tiles. A tile is free if it has no tile on top of it AND has an empty space on either its left or right side. 2. Select two matching free tiles to remove them from the board. 3. **Win Condition:** Clear all tiles from the board. 4. **Lose Condition:** Time runs out OR no valid moves remain (prompt for Shuffle). * **Layout Generation:** Create a layered 3D structure (e.g., the classic "Turtle" or "Pyramid" shape). * **Scoring:** Award points for matches. Add a "Combo" multiplier if matches are made in quick succession. * **Timer:** A countdown timer (e.g., 5-10 minutes) displayed at the top. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation:** Force or suggest **Landscape Mode** to accommodate the wide layout of the Mahjong board. * **Touch Controls:** * **Raycaster:** Use `THREE.Raycaster` mapped to touch events/mouse clicks for precise tile selection. * **Selection Feedback:** When a tile is selected, it should highlight (emissive material color change) and slightly lift up (`y + 0.2`) to indicate state. * **Camera:** A fixed PerspectiveCamera angled at approx 60 degrees (ISO-like view) to clearly show stack height. Allow simple pinch-to-zoom if the layout is large. * **UI/HUD:** * Large, thumb-friendly buttons (min 44px height) placed at screen edges: [Pause], [Shuffle], [Hint], [Restart]. * Score and Time text should be bold and readable using a holiday-themed font or standard sans-serif. * **Visual Feedback:** Upon a successful match, trigger a small particle explosion (stars or snowflakes) at the tile positions before they disappear. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
