Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Play Geography: 3D World Quiz**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **The Globe:** Create a central, interactive 3D Earth sphere. Instead of a realistic satellite texture, use a **stylized "Political Map" texture** that matches the reference image's aesthetic (bright, flat colors: Yellow for some regions, Green for others, Cyan for oceans). Borders between countries should be distinct lines. * **Visual Style:** Low-poly or Vector-style aesthetic. Clean, sharp lines with high saturation. * **Lighting:** Use Ambient Light and a Directional Light to create soft shadows, giving the globe volume without making it too dark. * **Highlighting Shader/Material:** Implement a mechanism (e.g., an emissive overlay or color swap) to make a specific country glow/highlight when selected or when the player answers correctly. * **Background:** A simple, dark blue gradient or a subtle stylized starfield to contrast with the bright map colors. * **Mobile Optimization:** Use `THREE.SphereGeometry` with reasonable segments (e.g., 64x64). Ensure textures are compressed (max 2048x2048) to reduce load times on cellular networks. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A calm, intellectual, "lounge" style loop. Think elevator music or soft marimba/xylophone patterns that encourage thinking without being distracting. * **UI Sound Effects:** * **Globe Spin:** A soft "whoosh" wind sound when rotating the earth quickly. * **Tap:** A wooden block "click" when touching a country. * **Correct Answer:** A pleasant, major-key chime or bell. * **Wrong Answer:** A dull, low-pitched "thud" or buzzer. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Objective:** The game prompts the player with a country name (e.g., "Find Mexico"). * **Interaction:** The player must rotate the 3D globe to find the location and tap on the correct country. * **Verification Logic:** * Use Raycasting to detect which country (UV coordinate or color code from a picking texture) was clicked. * **Correct:** The country flashes Green, score increases, and a new country is requested. * **Incorrect:** The tapped country flashes Red, the correct country momentarily pulses Yellow to teach the player, and the streak resets. * **Progression:** Start with easy/large countries (USA, China, Brazil) and move to smaller/harder ones as the score increases. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Camera Control (OrbitControls):** * **Rotate:** Single-finger drag to rotate the globe freely around the Y and X axes. * **Zoom:** Two-finger pinch to zoom in/out (limit the zoom range so the player doesn't clip inside the sphere). * **Damping:** Enable damping (inertia) for a smooth, weighted feel when spinning the globe. * **Selection:** * Implement precise Raycasting for `touchstart` events. Ensure the tap registers only if the user isn't dragging (distinguish between a "spin" gesture and a "tap" gesture). * **Screen Orientation:** Optimized for **Portrait Mode** to allow easy one-handed thumb spinning, but responsive to Landscape. * **UI Overlay:** * **Top:** Large, clear text displaying the "Target Country" (e.g., "Find: FRANCE"). * **Bottom:** Score counter and Timer (optional). * **Touch Areas:** Buttons should have a minimum touch target of 44x44px. * **Haptics:** Trigger a light vibration (using `navigator.vibrate`) when the player taps a country. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
