Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Popular Words". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: "2.5D" Casual Comic Art. Use a flat-shaded, high-saturation color palette inspired by the screenshot (Vibrant Orange `#FFA500`, Cyan `#00FFFF`, Comic Red `#FF0000`). * **Scene Setup**: A virtual "Game Show" stage. The background should be a dynamic abstract gradient (Blue/Cyan) with a subtle floating halftone dot pattern (comic style) to add depth without distracting. * **Main Object**: A central 3D "Answer Board" floating in the middle. It should contain 5 horizontal slots (rectangular prisms with rounded corners). Initially, these slots are "closed" (showing ??? or just the first letter), and they should animate/flip over 180 degrees when a player guesses correctly. * **Camera**: Fixed Perspective camera, optimized for **Portrait Mode** (vertical), looking slightly up at the board to give it a monumental feel. * **Performance**: Use `MeshBasicMaterial` or `MeshLambertMaterial` to keep rendering cost low for mobile devices. Avoid complex shadows; use baked lighting logic or simple ambient light. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A loop of upbeat, "thinking time" game show music. It should be jazzy but subtle (bass, light snares, synth pads). * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Correct Answer**: A bright, satisfying "Ding!" or chime sound combined with a "whoosh" for the card flip. * **Wrong Answer**: A soft, comedic "Buzz" or "Womp-womp" (not too harsh). * **Level Win**: A short celebratory fanfare. * **UI Interaction**: Soft "pop" or "click" sounds when typing on the virtual keyboard. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Data Structure**: Create a simple array of objects for levels. Example: `{ question: "Something you find in a bathroom", answers: ["Soap", "Towel", "Mirror", "Sink", "Toilet"] }`. * **Start**: Display the Question text clearly at the top of the 3D scene (using a 3D text geometry or an HTML overlay). Show the 5 empty slots on the board. * **Hint System**: Each empty slot must display the **first letter** of the hidden word (e.g., "S _ _ _") to guide the player. * **Input Phase**: Player types a word. * **Validation**: * If the input matches one of the top 5 answers: The corresponding 3D slot flips over to reveal the full word. * If the input is wrong: Shake the camera slightly and play the buzzer sound. * If already guessed: Show a "Already Found" tooltip. * **Win Condition**: When all 5 answers are revealed, trigger a confetti particle explosion and a "Level Complete" modal, then load the next question. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation**: **Portrait Mode Only**. This is critical for mobile typing comfort. * **Input Interface**: * Implement a **custom HTML/CSS Virtual Keyboard** at the bottom of the screen (overlaying the Three.js canvas). Do not rely on the native mobile keyboard as it pushes the canvas up; a custom game keypad is better for UX. * The keyboard should include letters A-Z, a Backspace key, and an "Enter/Guess" button. * **Touch Feedback**: * Buttons should scale down slightly (`0.9x`) when touched. * Trigger `navigator.vibrate(50)` on invalid guesses or level wins for haptic feedback. * **UI Layout**: * Top 20%: Question Text (Large, Readable Font like 'Comic Sans' or 'Fredoka One'). * Middle 40%: The 3D Answer Board (Three.js Canvas). * Bottom 40%: The Virtual Keyboard (HTML Overlay). * Ensure all touch targets are at least 48x48px. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
