Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Mowing Mazes**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Adopt a vibrant, "Cartoony Low-Poly" aesthetic similar to the screenshot. The palette should be dominated by lush greens (vegetation), bright sky blues, and the distinct red of the player's lawnmower. * **Camera**: Use an **Orthographic Camera** positioned at a high isometric angle (e.g., 45 degrees) to give a clear view of the maze layout. Ensure the camera smoothly follows the player with a slight dampening effect. * **The Maze**: Construct the level using a grid system. * **Walls (Hedges)**: Tall, blocky dark green shapes with a soft noise texture to simulate leaves. * **Ground (Grass)**: Use a dual-state tile system. * State A (Unmowed): Tall grass tufts (use simple plane geometries or textured cubes). * State B (Mowed): Flat, lighter green texture. * **The Player**: A simplified character model sitting on a red ride-on lawnmower. The mower should have a rotary blade animation underneath when moving. * **VFX**: Emit green "leaf confetti" particles when the mower moves over uncut grass tiles to simulate cutting. * **Mobile Optimization**: Use `InstancedMesh` for the hedge blocks and grass tufts to maintain high FPS on mobile devices. Limit real-time shadows; use baked ambient occlusion for the environment if possible. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A lighthearted, whistling-style acoustic track. It should be relaxing but upbeat, evoking a sunny Sunday morning. * **SFX**: * **Engine**: A continuous, low-pitched rumble loop that pitches up slightly when the mower is moving. * **Mowing**: A satisfying *shhh-wip* or crunchy sound that triggers every time a grass tile is converted to a mowed tile. * **Collision**: A soft *thud* sound when hitting a hedge. * **Win**: A short, triumphant trumpet or chime jingle when the maze is solved. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic**: The player spawns at the start of a grid-based maze filled with tall grass. * **Objective**: The player must navigate the maze to reach the Exit Gate. * *Optional Challenge*: To open the Exit Gate, the player must mow at least 90% of the grass in the level. * **Movement Logic**: Implement a "Slide-to-Stop" puzzle mechanic (similar to *Tomb of the Mask*). When the player swipes a direction, the mower travels in that direction continuously until it hits a wall or an obstacle. This adds a puzzle logic element to the navigation. * **Win Condition**: Reaching the exit tile triggers a "Level Complete" UI overlay with a star rating based on time taken. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Input Scheme**: **Swipe Gestures** are the primary control. * Swipe Up/Down/Left/Right anywhere on the screen to send the mower moving in that direction. * Ensure the swipe detection threshold is forgiving (e.g., > 20px movement). * **Screen Orientation**: Design for **Portrait Mode** by default to allow for one-handed play, but ensure the camera zoom adapts if the user switches to Landscape. * **Haptic Feedback**: Trigger a short vibration (using the Vibration API) when the mower hits a wall to provide tactile confirmation of the stop. * **UI Layout**: * Top Center: Progress bar showing "% Grass Mowed". * Top Right: Pause button (minimum 44x44px hit area). * Bottom: Hidden touch layer for swipe detection covering the entire bottom 80% of the screen. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
