Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Modern 3D Tic Tac Toe". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Clean, Hyper-Casual aesthetic "2.5D" look using an **Orthographic Camera** to match the flat-but-depth feel of the reference image. * **Color Palette**: * **Background**: Clean White (#F5F5F5) with subtle, floating, out-of-focus geometric shapes (X and O) in the background to add depth without distraction. * **Player (X)**: Vibrant Orange (#FF6600) with a slight glossiness. * **Opponent (O)**: Deep Purple (#550088) with a matte finish. * **Grid**: A soft grey, rounded 3x3 platform or recessed slots. * **Geometries**: * Use `THREE.ExtrudeGeometry` to create thick, 3D versions of "X" and "O" text/shapes. * Apply `THREE.MeshStandardMaterial` for soft lighting interactions. * Edges should be beveled (rounded) to look friendly and touchable. * **Lighting**: Soft studio lighting setup (Ambient light + Directional light with soft shadows) to create a "toy-like" appearance. * **Mobile Optimization**: Low-poly geometries (use `bevelSegments: 2` or `3`), reusable geometries (InstancedMesh if possible, or cloned meshes), and disable heavy post-processing. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A relaxing, cheerful "elevator bossa nova" or "lo-fi beat" loop that is non-intrusive. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Placement**: A satisfying "Pop" or wooden "Clack" sound when a piece is placed. * **Win**: A short, ascending major-key chime or fanfare. * **Draw**: A playful "womp-womp" or neutral sound. * **UI Click**: A soft "tick" sound for restarting the game. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic**: Standard 3x3 grid turn-based logic. Player is 'X', AI (CPU) is 'O'. * **AI Logic**: Implement a basic AI opponent. It should ideally block the player if the player has 2 in a row, or take the center spot if available (Minimax algorithm is preferred, but random valid move is acceptable for MVP). * **Win Condition**: Match 3 symbols horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. * **Visual Feedback**: When a line is completed, draw a bright line through the winning pieces, or make the winning pieces scale up/pulse. * **Draw Condition**: All 9 cells filled with no winner. Prompt a "Draw" message. * **Game Over State**: Display a semi-transparent UI overlay with the result ("You Win!", "You Lose", "Draw") and a large "Play Again" button. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Touch Interaction**: * Use `THREE.Raycaster` mapped to `touchstart` events (not just `click`) to detect grid cell selection. * **Responsiveness**: The piece should appear immediately on touch. Add a simple entry animation (e.g., scale from 0 to 1 with an elastic bounce) to make it feel "juicy." * **Orientation**: Lock to **Portrait Mode** for best one-handed playability. The 3x3 grid should be centered in the upper-middle of the screen. * **UI Layout**: * Score/Turn indicator at the top (safe area). * "Restart" button at the bottom, ensuring it has a large hit area (min 44x44px equivalent) for easy tapping. * **Haptic Feedback**: Trigger `navigator.vibrate(50)` (short vibration) when a piece is successfully placed to enhance tactile feel. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
