Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Spanthera: The Spartan Physics Puzzler**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** A **2.5D Side-Scroller**. The game logic operates on a 2D plane (X and Y axes), but the assets should be stylized 3D models (Low-Poly or Cel-Shaded) to give depth. * **Protagonist (Spanthera):** A low-poly Spartan warrior character (resembling a lion-human hybrid or a muscular man) wearing a signature **red cape** and a bronze helmet. He stands on the left side of the screen. * **Enemies (Reptile Army):** Green, goofy-looking reptiles/lizards placed on various platforms (Greek ruins, pillars, wooden crates) on the right side. * **Environment:** * **Background:** A deep night sky with a massive, glowing **Full Moon** (referencing the source image). Distant silhouettes of Spartan cliffs. * **Foreground:** Greek architecture ruins, marble columns, and wooden obstacles that can be destroyed or stuck into. * **Camera:** A fixed orthographic or perspective camera positioned to show the side view of the level, ensuring both the player and enemies are visible. * **Optimization:** Use simple geometries (BoxGeometry, CylinderGeometry) for obstacles to ensure high frame rates on mobile devices. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A parody of epic cinematic scores (like the *300* soundtrack)—heavy percussion/war drums and dramatic choral chants, but slightly upbeat/cartoonish. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Throwing:** A sharp "Whoosh" wind sound. * **Impact:** "Thud" for wood, "Clang" for stone/metal. * **Enemy Death:** Comical squishing sounds or high-pitched yelps. * **Victory:** A short Spartan shout ("Aroo!") or a triumphant fanfare. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic:** The player aims and throws a limited number of spears at the enemies. * **Physics:** Use a physics engine (like Cannon.js or Ammo.js integrated with Three.js). * **Spears:** Should follow a ballistic trajectory (gravity affects them). * **Collision:** Spears should **stick** into wooden objects/enemies but **bounce** off stone/metal surfaces (adding a puzzle element). * **Objective:** Eliminate all reptile enemies in the level to win. * **Failure Condition:** Running out of spears before all enemies are defeated. * **Level Design:** Enemies should be protected by obstacles, requiring the player to aim for weak points or bank shots off stone pillars. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Control Scheme (Slingshot/Drag-to-Shoot):** * **Touch & Drag:** The user touches anywhere on the screen and drags backwards (opposite to the target) to aim. * **Visual Aid:** Display a **dotted trajectory line** showing the predicted path of the spear based on the current drag angle and power. * **Release:** Lifting the finger throws the spear. * **Screen Orientation:** **Landscape** mode is mandatory to see the trajectory and targets. * **UI Elements:** * **Spear Counter:** Large icons in the top-left corner showing remaining ammo. * **Restart Button:** A distinct, touch-friendly button (min 44x44px) in the top-right corner. * **Feedback:** * **Haptics:** Trigger a short vibration (using `navigator.vibrate`) when the spear hits an enemy. * **Camera Shake:** Slight screen shake effect upon high-impact collisions. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
