Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Pyramid Solitaire: Ancient Egypt". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** High-contrast, stylized 3D aesthetic inspired by Ancient Egypt. The palette should use warm tones (sand, gold, terracotta) contrasted with deep blues (lapis lazuli) for the UI. * **Camera & Layout:** Use a PerspectiveCamera positioned overhead (slightly angled) to view the game board. The layout must be **responsive**, keeping the pyramid centered and fully visible on both portrait (phone) and landscape (tablet) orientations. * **3D Models:** * **Cards:** Simple plane geometries with slight thickness (BoxGeometry) to give a tactile 3D feel. * **Card Textures:** Front faces must use standard clear playing card assets (for readability). Back faces should feature an Egyptian motif (e.g., Eye of Horus or Scarab). * **The Table:** A textured stone slab or a surface resembling papyrus. * **Background:** A stylized low-poly desert scene at dusk (warm gradient sky, silhouette of pyramids, distant palm trees) or a temple interior with torch lighting effects. * **VFX:** * **Selection:** When a card is tapped, it should lift slightly on the Y-axis and emit a faint golden glow (OutlinePass or emissive material). * **Match Success:** When cards dissolve, use a particle system to simulate them turning into golden sand/dust before disappearing. * **Performance:** strict mobile optimization. Use instanced meshes for cards if possible, limit dynamic lights to 1-2 (sun/torch), and use baked shadows for the environment to save GPU resources. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A looping, ambient track featuring Middle Eastern instrumentation (harp, ney flute, light percussion) creating a mysterious but relaxing atmosphere. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Card Flip/Move:** A crisp "papyrus" or heavy paper sliding sound. * **Selection:** A subtle "stone click" or light wooden tap. * **Match Made:** A satisfying magical chime or "gem collection" sound. * **Invalid Move:** A low, dull thud or stone grinding sound to indicate error. * **Win:** A short, triumphant Egyptian fanfare. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Setup:** * Standard 52-card deck. * **The Pyramid:** Deal 28 cards face-up in a pyramid shape (1 card at the top, increasing to a row of 7 cards at the bottom). Rows overlap; a card is only "exposed" if no cards are overlapping it from the row below. * **The Stock:** Remaining cards go into a face-down pile (Stock). * **The Waste:** One card is flipped from Stock to a face-up Waste pile. * **Mechanics:** * **Goal:** Remove all cards from the Pyramid. * **Matching Logic:** Select two exposed cards that sum to **13**. * **Values:** Ace = 1, 2-10 = Face Value, Jack = 11, Queen = 12, King = 13. * **Special Rule:** Kings count as 13 on their own and can be removed by simply tapping them once (no pair needed). * **Source:** Matches can be made between: 1. Two exposed Pyramid cards. 2. One Pyramid card and the top Waste card. * **Win Condition:** All cards in the Pyramid are removed. * **Lose Condition:** No valid moves remain, and the Stock pile has been cycled through (allow up to 2 resets of the Stock pile). ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Touch Input:** Implement Raycaster logic for touch events. * **Tap:** Select/Deselect a card. * **Tap Stock:** Flip next card. * **Hit Testing:** Ensure card bounding boxes are generous enough for fat-finger tapping on smaller screens. * **Visual Feedback:** * Selected cards must clearly visually distinguish themselves (highlight/lift). * Draw lines connecting two selected cards briefly before they dissolve to reinforce the connection. * **UI Layout:** * **HUD:** Minimalist. Top of screen: Score and Time. * **Action Buttons:** Large, thumb-friendly circular buttons at the bottom corners for "Undo" and "Reshuffle". * **Responsiveness:** UI elements must anchor to screen edges (safe area) and scale with `window.devicePixelRatio`. * **Haptics:** Trigger `navigator.vibrate(10)` on a successful card selection and `navigator.vibrate([10, 30, 10])` on a successful match combo to provide tactile satisfaction. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.

Gameplay Mechanics

Card Pairing Strategy

The core gameplay revolves around pairing cards that total 13: - Ace (1) + Queen (12) = 13 - 2 + Jack (11) = 13 - 3 + 10 = 13 - 4 + 9 = 13 - 5 + 8 = 13 - 6 + 7 = 13 - King (13) = removed alone

Pyramid Structure

Cards are arranged in a pyramid formation with 28 cards total. Only exposed cards (those not covered by other cards) can be selected for pairing. As you remove cards, new cards become available for play.

Stock and Waste Piles

Additional cards are available in the stock pile. You can cycle through these cards to find suitable pairs with exposed pyramid cards, adding layers of strategy to your gameplay.

Operation Guide

Mouse Controls : Use your left mouse button to select cards and interact with all game elements. Click on the stock pile to reveal new cards when needed.

Card Selection : Click on any exposed card in the pyramid, then click on another card that adds up to 13 to remove both cards. For Kings, simply click once to remove them.

Stock Management : Click the stock pile to cycle through available cards. Use these cards strategically to pair with pyramid cards when direct pyramid pairs aren't available.
