Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Tropical Merge". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Vibrant, Low-poly 3D art style with **Toon Shading (Cel Shading)** to mimic the casual 2D cartoon aesthetic of the original game. Use a bright, saturated color palette (Turquoise ocean, Emerald grass, Golden sand). * **Camera Perspective**: Fixed **Isometric Camera** (OrthographicCamera) positioned to view the island grid from a top-down angle (approx 45 degrees). * **Map/Grid System**: A tile-based grid system (e.g., 10x10 initially) representing the island. * **Tiles**: Grass tiles (green), Sand tiles (coast), and Water tiles (animated shader with gentle wave motion surrounding the island). * **Fog of War**: Cloud meshes covering "locked" areas of the grid. * **Merge Objects (3D Primitives placeholders)**: * **Crops**: Sprout (green sphere), Bush (green cube), Tree (cylinder + cone). * **Buildings**: Hut (cube + pyramid roof), Villa (complex shapes). * **Resources**: Wood (brown cylinder logs), Stone (grey rocks). * **Particle Effects**: Burst of stars/confetti when a merge is successful. Smoke puff when clearing weeds/obstacles. * **Performance Optimization**: Use `InstancedMesh` for the grid tiles and common environmental props (rocks, grass tufts) to reduce draw calls on mobile devices. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A relaxing, looping **Tropical/Island track**. Instruments should include Steel Drums (Marimba), Ukulele, and soft percussion. The tempo should be slow to moderate (90-110 BPM). * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Merge Success**: A satisfying, high-pitched "Pop" or "Ding". * **Merge 5 Bonus**: A magical "Chime" chord (major scale). * **UI Click**: Soft wood-block click sound. * **Harvest/Clear**: Rustling leaves sound. * **Error**: A low-pitched "Thud" if placing an item in an invalid spot. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic**: **Match-3 and Merge**. * Players drag and drop items onto the grid. * Placing 3 identical items adjacent to each other triggers a merge: The 3 items disappear, and 1 item of the **next tier** appears at the drop location. * **Strategic Bonus**: Merging **5 identical items** creates **2 items** of the next tier (Efficiency Bonus). * **Progression Tiers (Example Sequence)**: * Tier 1: Seeds -> Tier 2: Sprout -> Tier 3: Bush -> Tier 4: Banana Tree -> Tier 5: Basket of Fruit. * **Resources & Economy**: * **Energy**: Every action (clearing weeds, harvesting) consumes 1 Energy point. Regenerates over time. * **Quests**: A simple logic system that checks if specific items exist on the grid (e.g., "Create 2 Banana Trees") to mark a quest as complete. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Touch Input (Raycaster)**: * **Drag & Drop**: Touch and hold an object to lift it (visual feedback: object scales up 1.1x and floats up Y-axis). Drag to move across the grid. Release to snap to the nearest empty tile. * **Pan Camera**: Dragging on "Empty Ground" or "Water" moves the camera view. * **Pinch to Zoom**: Standard two-finger pinch to zoom the Orthographic camera in/out. * **Haptic Feedback**: Trigger `navigator.vibrate(50)` on a successful merge to provide tactile gratification. * **UI Layout**: * **Portrait/Landscape Adaptive**: UI should anchor to screen edges. * **HUD**: Energy bar and Level progress at the top. * **Inventory/Shop**: A scrollable bar at the bottom of the screen. * **Buttons**: Minimum touch target size of 44x44px. Use rounded, "juicy" buttons that depress visually when tapped. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
