MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Smartle". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: "Tactile Minimalist". Although the reference is 2D, use Three.js to create a semi-3D aesthetic (2.5D). The view should use an `OrthographicCamera` to maintain a clean, puzzle-like perspective without perspective distortion. * **Game Board**: A 5x5 grid set against a split-colored background (diagonal gradient or split geometry of Soft Green `#66BB6A` and Warm Yellow `#FFCA28`). * **Letter Tiles**: Create low-poly rounded cubes (chamfered box geometry) to represent letter tiles. They should look like smooth, physical game pieces. * **State - Neutral**: White tile with dark grey text. * **State - Correct**: Soft Green tile with white text (indicates a valid word is formed). * **Texturing**: Use canvas textures to dynamically render letters (A-Z) onto the tile faces to save texture memory. * **Performance**: Use `InstancedMesh` if possible for the tiles to reduce draw calls, or simple merged geometries since there are only 25 moving elements. Ensure shadows are baked or use a very low-cost `DirectionalLight` shadow map. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A calm, cerebral, "Zen" track. Think soft electric piano or marimba loops that help concentration. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Pickup**: A soft "whoosh" or suction sound when a tile is lifted. * **Drop/Swap**: A satisfying wooden "clack" sound (like Scrabble tiles hitting a board). * **Valid Word**: A harmonious chime or positive major chord when a row turns green. * **Win**: A celebratory fanfare with a particle pop sound. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Setup**: The game must pre-generate 5 valid 5-letter English words. These words are then placed into the 5 rows, and then the letters within the entire grid are shuffled (scrambled) randomly. * **Core Mechanic**: * The player swaps the positions of any two tiles on the board. * **Validation**: After every move, the system checks each horizontal row. If a row forms a valid dictionary word, that entire row's tiles turn Green and lock slightly (visual feedback), though they can still be moved if needed. * **Win Condition**: All 5 rows contain valid 5-letter words simultaneously. * **Feedback**: When a row is correct, trigger a small "pulse" animation on those 5 tiles. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Control Scheme**: **Drag & Drop (Swapping)**. * User touches a tile -> Tile lifts slightly on the Z-axis (visual feedback) and scales up by 10%. * User drags finger -> Tile follows the raycasted position on the grid plane. * User releases -> The tile snaps to the nearest grid slot. The tile currently occupying that slot swaps positions with the origin slot of the dragged tile. * **Orientation**: **Portrait Mode** only. The grid should be centered vertically, leaving space at the top for a Score/Timer UI and bottom for a "Hint" or "Reset" button. * **Touch Optimization**: * Implement `Raycaster` with a slightly larger hit-box than the visible tile to ensure "fat finger" tolerance. * Prevent scrolling on the `canvas` element (`touch-action: none`) to allow smooth dragging without moving the webpage. * **Haptics**: Trigger `navigator.vibrate(10)` on tile pickup and `navigator.vibrate(15)` on tile drop/swap. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
