MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Math Monsters". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: A vibrant, "Low-Poly" cartoon aesthetic suitable for children. Use bright, saturated colors (Pastel Greens, Blues, Pinks). * **Camera**: Use an **OrthographicCamera** positioned for a top-down or slightly tilted front view (2.5D perspective) to keep the gameplay area clear and manageable on mobile screens. * **The Monster (Player)**: A cute, blocky green character (represented by a composed group of geometries like cubes/spheres if external assets aren't loaded) located at the bottom center of the screen. It needs a simple "mouth open" visual cue. * **Falling Items**: * **Good Items**: Candies, Popsicles, Cupcakes (use colorful spheres, cylinders, and cones). Emissive materials to make them look tasty. * **Bad Items**: "Gross Shoes" (use a brown/grey irregular shape or combined blocks). Dark, non-shiny materials. * **Background**: A solid light blue or soft gradient sky background to ensure high contrast with falling items. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A playful, looping "pizzicato strings" or light synth track (upbeat and sneaky). * **Sound Effects (Placeholder logic)**: * **Eat Candy**: A satisfying "Crunch" or "Chomp" sound. * **Eat Shoe**: A "Splat" or "Eww" sound (negative feedback). * **Math Phase**: A "Pop" sound when the question appears. * **Correct Answer**: A cheerful "Ding" or chime. * **Wrong Answer**: A low-pitched "Buzzer". ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Phase 1: The Feeding Frenzy (Action)** * Items spawn at random X positions at the top of the screen and fall downwards. * **Objective**: Catch Good Items to gain Score. Avoid Bad Items (Shoes). * **Health**: The player starts with 3 Hearts. Catching a Shoe removes 1 Heart. * **Transition**: After catching 10 Good Items (or surviving 30 seconds), the game pauses, and the **Math Phase** triggers. * **Phase 2: Math Practice (Educational)** * The action freezes. An HTML overlay appears with a generated math equation (e.g., "5 + 3 = ?") and 3 multiple-choice buttons. * **Difficulty**: Start with simple addition, progress to multiplication. * **Outcome**: Answering correctly restores 1 Heart (if missing) and starts the next Action Phase with slightly faster falling speed. Answering incorrectly requires the player to try again. * **Game Over**: Occurs when Health reaches 0. Show final score and a "Restart" button. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Screen Orientation**: **Portrait Mode** (Vertical) is mandatory for one-handed play. * **Controls**: * **Touch & Drag**: The player touches anywhere on the bottom half of the screen and drags left/right. The Monster matches the X-axis position of the finger (1:1 movement or smooth follow). * **Math UI**: The multiple-choice buttons must be large (minimum 60px height) and spaced out to prevent accidental mis-clicks on small screens. * **Feedback**: * **Visual**: When an item is caught, spawn a small particle explosion (confetti for candy, brown dust for shoes). * **Haptic**: If supported by the browser/device, trigger a short vibration when hitting a Shoe. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
