Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Pyramid Klondike**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** A polished 2.5D "Ancient Egypt" aesthetic. Use a warm color palette dominated by sandstone gold, desert orange, and deep Nile blue. The rendering should use `THREE.WebGLRenderer` with shadow maps enabled for depth perception between card layers. * **Card Assets:** Create card meshes using `THREE.PlaneGeometry` with a slight thickness (or ExtrudeGeometry for premium feel, but keep low-poly). * *Card Fronts:* Standard suits/numbers but with a papyrus texture overlay. * *Card Backs:* Egyptian motif (e.g., Eye of Horus or Scarab beetle) in gold on a lapis lazuli background. * **Environment:** The game table should look like a flat sandstone slab. The background (Skybox or static image) should depict the Giza Pyramids under a bright blue sky to provide context without distracting from gameplay. * **Visual Effects (VFX):** * **Match Effect:** When cards pair to 13, they should dissolve into golden "sand" particles (using `THREE.Points`) or fly off-screen with a trail. * **Selection:** Selected cards should glow (using an emissive material property) or float slightly upward (tweening the Y-axis). * **Mobile Optimization:** Use texture atlases for all card faces to reduce draw calls. Limit particle counts. Ensure the camera Field of View (FOV) adjusts dynamically based on the aspect ratio (portrait vs. landscape) so the pyramid always fits the screen. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A looping, relaxing track featuring Middle Eastern instrumentation (Oud, Nay flute, light percussion) to set the Egyptian mood without being repetitive or annoying. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * *Card Flip/Move:* crisp, high-quality paper snap or light stone sliding sound. * *Selection:* A subtle "click" or soft woodblock sound. * *Successful Match:* A harmonious chime or "magical" shimmer sound. * *Invalid Move:* A low-pitched thud or dull "stone" sound. * *Win/Level Clear:* A short, triumphant Egyptian fanfare. * *UI Click:* Standard button press sound. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Setup:** Generate a standard Pyramid Solitaire layout (28 cards in a pyramid). Remaining cards go to a "Draw Pile" (face down). There is one "Discard Pile" (face up) and one specific "Holding Cell" (temp storage) in the top-left corner. * **Core Mechanic (Math Logic):** * The player must pair two exposed cards (cards not covered by others) that sum exactly to **13**. * **Values:** Ace=1, 2-10=Face Value, Jack=11, Queen=12, King=13. * **Pairs:** Q+A, J+2, 10+3, 9+4, 8+5, 7+6. * **King Exception:** Kings can be clicked to be removed instantly (no pair needed). * **Cycle:** 1. Player checks the Pyramid, Discard Pile, or Holding Cell for matches. 2. If no matches, player taps Draw Pile to flip a new card to Discard Pile. 3. Player can move one card to the Holding Cell to free up a card underneath. * **Progression:** Implement 5 distinct levels. Level 1 is standard. Levels 2-5 decrease the time limit or change the pyramid structure slightly if possible. * **Victory/Defeat:** * *Win:* All cards in the Pyramid are cleared. * *Loss:* Timer runs out OR no more moves are possible (deck empty). * **Undo System:** A stack-based history to allow the player to reverse the last move (penalize score slightly for using it). ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Camera:** Fixed perspective (orthographic or perspective) looking down at the table at a slight angle (approx 60 degrees). * **Touch Controls:** * **Raycasting:** Implement `THREE.Raycaster` mapped to touch/mouse events. * **Tap:** Select card. If a card is already selected, tapping a second valid card attempts a match. * **Auto-Match:** If a King is tapped, remove immediately. * **UI Layout (HTML overlay or 3D UI):** * **Top Bar:** Current Score, Timer (countdown), Level Indicator. * **Bottom/Side:** Large, thumb-friendly buttons for "Undo" and "Menu/Pause". * **Hit Areas:** Ensure card hitboxes are slightly larger than the visual mesh to accommodate "fat finger" errors on mobile. * **Feedback:** * **Haptic:** Trigger `navigator.vibrate(50)` on successful matches or valid selection. * **Visual:** When a card is tapped, it should lift z-index slightly. If a match is invalid, shake the selected cards horizontally (tween animation) before deselecting. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
