Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Photo Puzzle: Slide Edition". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** A clean, "Zen-like" aesthetic. The primary focus is a central square board consisting of sliding tiles. The background should be a blurred, darkened version of the current puzzle image (simulating a frosted glass effect behind the board) or a calming nature-themed gradient (greens and soft whites) similar to the reference logo. * **Models:** * **Tiles:** Do not use flat planes. Use `THREE.BoxGeometry` with a slight thickness (e.g., z-depth of 0.2) and beveled edges (or a rounded corner shader) to give the pieces a tactile, physical feel, like wooden or plastic blocks. * **Textures:** The system needs a dynamic texture loader that takes a source image (use a placeholder URL like `https://picsum.photos/800`) and slices it based on the grid size (3x3, 4x4, 5x5). * **Lighting:** Soft, three-point lighting setup. A warm directional light to cast subtle shadows from the tiles onto the background, enhancing depth perception. * **Performance:** Reuse geometries (InstancedMesh if possible, though simple Mesh is fine for low tile counts). Use mobile-friendly texture compression or standard JPGs. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A looping, relaxing, acoustic track (e.g., soft piano or guitar with nature ambience) that aids concentration. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Slide:** A satisfying "wood-on-wood" or "stone slide" friction sound when a tile moves. * **Invalid Move:** A dull, low-pitch "thud" or small shake animation if the user taps a tile that cannot move. * **Level Complete:** A bright, harmonious chime or crescendo. * **UI:** Soft clicks for menu buttons. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Mechanic:** Standard "N-puzzle" (Sliding Puzzle) logic. * **Difficulty Modes:** Easy (3x3 grid), Normal (4x4), Hard (5x5). * **Initialization:** The puzzle **MUST** be generated by taking a solved state and performing a series of random *valid* moves (walking the empty slot). **Do not** randomly shuffle the array, as this can create unsolvable states. * **Interaction:** The player moves tiles into the single empty slot. * **Win Condition:** Check the array order after every move. If the tiles match the original index order: 1. The empty slot is filled with the missing piece. 2. The grid lines/gaps disappear to reveal the full, seamless photo. 3. A "Success" UI overlay appears with a "Next Level" button. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Screen Orientation:** Portrait mode preferred, but the board container must be responsive (maintain 1:1 aspect ratio within the screen width). * **Touch Input:** * **Tap to Move:** Use `THREE.Raycaster` to detect touches. If a tapped tile is adjacent to the empty slot, it slides into it. * **Swipe:** Support swipe gestures. If the user swipes in a direction within the board area, move the valid tile into the empty slot corresponding to that direction. * **Animation:** Tiles must smooth-slide (interpolate) to the new position over ~200ms using a tweening library (like TWEEN.js or GSAP). Do not snap instantly. * **UI Elements:** * Large, thumb-friendly buttons (minimum 44px touch targets) for "Shuffle/Restart", "Change Difficulty", and "Next Photo". * A move counter displayed clearly at the top. * **Feedback:** Provide haptic feedback (using `navigator.vibrate(10)`) when a tile successfully slides. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
