Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Tropical Merge 3D**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** High-saturation, "Juicy" cartoon style (Low-poly but with smooth shading). The aesthetic should feel like a vibrant Caribbean holiday. * **Camera:** Orthographic projection with a fixed isometric view (approx. 45 degrees), optimized for mobile portrait mode to allow easy one-handed play. * **Grid System:** A visible, sandy tile grid (e.g., 6x8) placed on a lush green island base. The island should be surrounded by animated water shaders (using a simple sinusoidal vertex displacement for waves) and foam edges. * **Merge Objects (Assets):** * **Tier 1:** Raw Banana (Yellow, simple curved shape). * **Tier 2:** Banana Bunch (Multiple bananas grouped). * **Tier 3:** Fruit Basket (Woven texture, filled with fruits). * **Tier 4:** Tiki Totem (Wood texture, glowing eyes). * **Obstacles:** "Weeds" or "Vines" covering specific grid tiles that must be cleared (greyed out models). * **Optimization:** Use instanced mesh rendering (`THREE.InstancedMesh`) for grid tiles and common merge items to ensure 60fps on mobile devices. Texture resolution should be capped at 512x512. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A relaxing, looped Calypso/Ukulele track. Mid-tempo, major key, featuring steel drums and ocean wave ambient noise in the background. * **SFX:** * **Select/Drag:** A soft "pop" or "bubble" sound. * **Merge Success:** A satisfying magical chime or "ding" (ascending pitch based on Tier level). * **Invalid Move:** A dull rubbery "thud". * **Level Up/Unlock:** A short celebratory tropical fanfare. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic:** Match-3 Merge. Drag an item onto a grid tile. If 3 or more identical items are adjacent (horizontally or vertically), they instantly merge into 1 item of the next Tier. * **Combo Bonus:** Merging 5 items creates *two* next-tier items instead of one. * **Fog/Unlock System:** Start with a small playable area (e.g., 3x3). Earning "Star Points" from merges unlocks adjacent fogged tiles (represented by semi-transparent clouds). * **Economy:** * **Energy:** Each spawn of a new Tier 1 item costs 1 Energy. Energy regenerates over time. * **Quest System:** A simple UI panel showing "Lisa's Request" (e.g., "Create 1 Tiki Totem"). Completing it grants Gold. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Input Method:** Touch-first. * **Drag & Drop:** Raycasting from touch position. Logic must handle "finger occlusion" (render the dragged item slightly *above* the touch point so the user can see what they are holding). * **Snap-to-Grid:** When the user releases a drag, the item should lerp (smoothly move) to the nearest valid grid center. * **Haptic Feedback:** Trigger `navigator.vibrate(5)` on item pickup and `navigator.vibrate([10, 30, 10])` on a successful merge. * **UI Layout:** * **Portrait Mode Locked.** * **Bottom Bar:** Large, thumb-friendly buttons (min 60px height) for "Spawn Item" and "Shop". * **Top Bar:** Energy meter, Gold count, and Quest tracker. * **Visual Feedback:** When a merge happens, spawn simple particle effects (star shapes or confetti) and a floating text number showing points gained. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
