Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Typeracer 3D: Mobile Speed Edition**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Minimalist "Flat 3D" aesthetic with Low-Poly models, inspired by the vector art logo provided. Use FlatShading to emulate a retro-modern vector look. * **Color Palette**: Use the specific colors from the reference image: Royal Blue (#0055AA), Golden Yellow (#FFD700), and Retro Orange (#FF8C00) for the environment and UI accents. * **Models**: * **Player Car**: A stylized, blocky Formula 1 car or retro sedan (Blue). * **Opponent Cars**: Two simple ghost cars (Red and Green) representing AI opponents. * **Track**: An infinite scrolling asphalt road with white lane markers. * **Background**: A dynamic scrolling backdrop featuring the horizontal stripes (Blue, Yellow, Orange) seen in the reference image. * **Mobile Optimization**: Use `BoxGeometry` and `CylinderGeometry` for all models to keep vertex count low. No complex textures; use vertex colors or basic materials. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: An upbeat, fast-paced "Retro Synthwave" or "Chiptune" track that loops seamlessly. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Typing**: A satisfying mechanical typewriter "clack" sound for every correct keystroke. * **Error**: A subtle "buzzer" or "thud" sound for typos. * **Engine**: A motor loop that increases in pitch/volume as the current WPM (Words Per Minute) increases. * **Finish**: Cheering or a checkered flag sound effect upon completing the text. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Pre-Race**: The camera is in a "Chase View" (behind and slightly above the player car). A 3-2-1 Countdown appears. * **The Race**: * A random sentence/paragraph appears in an HTML overlay. * **Core Mechanic**: The Player's car moves forward **only** when the correct character is typed. Speed is determined by typing cadence. * **AI Simulation**: The two opponent cars move forward automatically at variable speeds (e.g., one at 40 WPM, one at 70 WPM) to simulate multiplayer competition. * **Penalty**: If the player types the wrong character, the car momentarily stalls (stops moving) and the input field turns red for 0.5s. * **Win/Loss**: The race ends when the text is fully typed. Display a results screen showing "Your WPM", "Accuracy %", and "Rank (1st/2nd/3rd)". ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Screen Orientation**: **Portrait Mode (Vertical)** is mandatory. This allows the user to hold the phone comfortably and use the native keyboard with two thumbs. * **Layout Strategy**: * **Top 40% of Screen**: The 3D Three.js Canvas (The Race View). * **Middle 20% of Screen**: The Text Prompt Display (Large, high-contrast text). The current word to be typed should be highlighted. * **Bottom 40% of Screen**: An invisible or styled HTML `<input>` text area that triggers the **Native Mobile Keyboard**. * **Interaction**: * The game should auto-focus the input field when the race starts to bring up the keyboard. * **Haptic Feedback**: Trigger `window.navigator.vibrate(50)` on typo/error to provide physical feedback to the user. * **Visual Feedback**: The 3D camera should have a slight "FOV increase" effect (speed blur) as the player types faster. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
