Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Interactive 3D Solar System Explorer**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** High-fidelity realism targeting mobile screens. The aesthetic should be cinematic and scientific, mimicking NASA visualizations. * **Celestial Bodies:** * Create a central Sun with a glowing shader effect (emissive material with a slight pulse). * Implement the 8 major planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) with high-resolution textures. * **Crucial Detail:** Jupiter should display its turbulent storms; Saturn must have translucent rings; Earth needs a separate cloud layer that rotates slightly faster than the surface. * **Scale:** Use a "Logarithmic Scale" or an "Exaggerated Scale" option because realistic scaling makes planets invisible on mobile screens. Ensure planets are large enough to be touchable. * **Background (Skybox):** A deep, immersive 8K starfield texture with a subtle nebula cloud in the distance to add depth, avoiding a flat black background. * **Lighting:** A single, strong point light source located at the Sun's position to create dramatic day/night terminators on the planets. Add a faint ambient light to ensure the dark sides aren't pitch black. * **Orbits:** draw thin, anti-aliased elliptical orbit lines for each planet to visualize their paths. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** An ambient, ethereal, and orchestral space soundtrack. Think "Interstellar" or calm observatory music—slow tempo, heavy use of synthesizers, strings, and vast reverb to convey the emptiness of space. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Selection:** A futuristic "holographic click" or soft "blip" sound when tapping a planet. * **Zooming:** A "whoosh" or "low-frequency hum" that increases in pitch as the camera zooms in on a planet. * **Ambience:** When close to a specific planet (e.g., Jupiter), play a subtle specific loop (e.g., windy gas giant roar). ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic:** The user explores the solar system freely. The "game" is an interactive sandbox simulation. * **Interaction Flow:** 1. **Orbit View:** Users view the whole system rotating. 2. **Selection:** Tapping a planet focuses the camera on it. 3. **Planet View:** The camera orbits the selected planet. A UI overlay appears with scientific facts (Radius, Distance from Sun, Rotation Period). 4. **Time Control:** A slider allows the user to speed up time (watching planets race around orbits) or pause it. * **Goal:** To unlock "Explorer Data" entries by visiting every planet. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Camera System (OrbitControls):** * **One-finger drag:** Rotate the camera around the focus point (Sun or specific planet). * **Pinch-to-zoom:** Move the camera closer/further. *Crucial:* Limit the zoom so users don't clip inside planets or get lost in the void. * **Touch Input:** * **Raycasting:** Implement precise raycasting for selecting planets. Since planets can be small, increase the hit-box radius slightly larger than the visual mesh for easier tapping. * **UI/UX (Mobile First):** * **Orientation:** Landscape mode preferred for a cinematic view. * **Info Panel:** A semi-transparent glass-morphism side panel that slides in from the right when a planet is selected. It should contain large, readable text. * **Navigation:** A "Back to Solar View" button constantly visible in the top-left corner (min size 44x44px). * **Time Slider:** A bottom-screen slider thumb that is large enough for a thumb to drag easily. * **Feedback:** Provide haptic feedback (vibration) when a planet is successfully selected or when the time speed is changed. Highlight the selected planet with a subtle outline or increased brightness. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
