Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Traffic Jam Puzzle**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** Use a clean, **Low-Poly / Voxel art style**. The scene should be rendered with an **Orthographic Camera** to provide a clear, distortion-free view of the puzzle grid. * **Grid Board:** Create a 6x6 grid representing a parking lot or city intersection. Use a dark grey asphalt texture with white dashed line markings. * **The Cars:** * **Player Car (Hero):** A distinct **Red Sedan** (occupies 2 grid cells horizontally). * **Obstacle Cars:** Various colors (Blue, Green, Yellow) and sizes. Some are Sedans (2 cells long), some are Trucks (3 cells long). * **Geometry:** Use simple `THREE.BoxGeometry` with beveled edges or slightly rounded corners to make them look friendly and polished. * **Environment:** Surround the grid with a low-poly sidewalk, a few stylized trees, and a "EXIT" zone clearly marked on the right side of the board aligned with the Hero Car's row. * **Performance:** Use `THREE.InstancedMesh` if possible for repeating geometry (like pavement tiles or trees) to reduce draw calls. Ensure shadows are baked or use a simple `DirectionalLight` with soft shadows optimized for mobile. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A relaxing, looping **Lo-Fi Hip Hop** or **Smooth Jazz** track to aid concentration without causing stress. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Select/Touch:** A subtle engine idle sound or a soft "pop". * **Slide:** A smooth "whoosh" or tire rolling sound during movement. * **Collision/Blocked:** A cute, non-aggressive "honk" or a dull thud if the player tries to move a car into a blocked space. * **Win:** A cheerful victory jingle and the sound of a car accelerating away. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Mechanic:** The game is a classic sliding block puzzle. * Cars placed horizontally can **only** move left and right (X-axis). * Cars placed vertically can **only** move up and down (Z-axis). * Cars cannot overlap or move off the grid boundaries (except the Hero car at the specific Exit point). * **Goal:** The player must slide obstacle cars out of the way to create a clear path for the **Red Hero Car** to reach the Exit on the right edge of the grid. * **Level Logic:** Start with a predefined car layout (an array configuration). When the Red Car reaches the exit, trigger a particle confetti effect and display a "Level Complete" UI overlay. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Touch Interaction:** Implement a **Drag-and-Drop** control scheme using `Raycaster` for touch events (`touchstart`, `touchmove`, `touchend`). * Detect the axis of the drag (horizontal vs. vertical) to determine intent. * Movement should "snap" to the grid cells upon release (`touchend`) to keep the board tidy. * **Orientation:** Design for **Portrait Mode** to allow comfortable one-handed play. * **Feedback:** * **Visual:** Highlight the selected car (e.g., slightly brighten the material or add a selection outline). * **Haptic:** Trigger `navigator.vibrate(10)` when a car snaps into a grid slot or hits an obstacle. * **UI Layout:** * Place a "Reset Level" button and a "Level Counter" at the top of the screen (safe area). * Ensure all interactive buttons are at least 44x44px. * Prevent default browser scrolling/zooming (`touch-action: none` in CSS) to ensure the swipes affect the game, not the webpage. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
