Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "UnpuzzleX". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Create a minimalist, "Zen" aesthetic. The primary view should be a top-down OrthographicCamera to maintain the puzzle geometry without perspective distortion. * **Puzzle Pieces**: Generate 3D jigsaw-style meshes. They should look like smooth, white ceramic or matte plastic tiles with rounded beveled edges. Use `THREE.ExtrudeGeometry` to create the interlocking shapes (tabs and blanks). Apply a soft, non-reflective white material (`MeshStandardMaterial`). * **Lighting & Shadows**: Use soft ambient lighting paired with a directional light to cast subtle drop shadows beneath the pieces, giving them a sense of floating slightly above the background. This depth is crucial for the "tactile" feel. * **Background**: Create a dynamic background shader or texture that mimics a "sunburst" or radial gradient in calming shades of azure and cornflower blue. It should rotate very slowly to add life without distracting from the puzzle. * **Performance**: Use instanced rendering if possible for the pieces to minimize draw calls, though given the low piece count (max 16-25 per level), standard meshes are acceptable. Ensure textures are compressed (KTX2/WebP) and polygon counts are kept low for mobile GPUs. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: Procedurally generate or load a loop of ambient, ethereal music (think Brian Eno or spa music). It should be downtempo and very quiet. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Select**: A subtle "click" or wooden tap sound when touching a piece. * **Slide**: A soft friction sound (like stone sliding on felt) when a piece moves. * **Success/Remove**: A satisfying "pop" or high-pitched chime when a piece successfully leaves the board. * **Blocked**: A dull "thud" or low-frequency buzz if a player tries to move a piece that is blocked. * **Level Clear**: A harmonious major chord sweep. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Concept**: "Inverse Jigsaw". The game starts with a completed 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4 puzzle grid. The goal is to dismantle it completely. * **Mechanics**: * Each piece has a specific direction it *wants* to move (usually away from the center or aligned with its straight edge). * The player swipes or drags a piece. * **Validation Logic**: The code must check if the movement vector intersects with any neighboring piece's geometry. If the path is clear (no collision), the piece slides off the screen and is destroyed. If blocked by another piece's interlocking tab, it stays put. * **Win Condition**: The array of active pieces becomes empty. * **Level Progression**: Start with a simple 2x2 grid where pieces just slide out. Progress to pieces that interlock on multiple sides, requiring a specific order of removal. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Touch Input**: Implement a robust Raycaster system for touch events (`touchstart`, `touchmove`, `touchend`). * **Interaction Logic**: Detect the start of a drag. Calculate the swipe direction (Up, Down, Left, Right). Map this to the piece's local axis. * **Feedback & Physics**: * **Successful Move**: The piece should lerp (smoothly interpolate) quickly off-screen and fade out. * **Blocked Move (Rubber-banding)**: If the player tries to pull a blocked piece, the piece should move slightly (e.g., 0.2 units) in that direction to show resistance, then snap back to its original position when released. This visual cue is essential for understanding *why* it can't move. * **Haptics**: Trigger `navigator.vibrate(10)` for a blocked attempt and `navigator.vibrate([0, 50, 20])` for a successful removal to provide tactile confirmation. * **UI/UX**: Design for Portrait mode mainly, but Responsive to Landscape. No on-screen D-pads; the entire screen is the controller. Include a discrete "Reset" button in the top-right corner (min-size 44x44px for touch accessibility). Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.

Game Introduction

About the Game

UnpuzzleX is an innovative puzzle game that flips the traditional jigsaw concept on its head. Instead of assembling pieces, your goal is to carefully remove all puzzle pieces from the board until the canvas is completely empty. This unique approach to puzzle gaming offers a fresh perspective on spatial reasoning and strategic thinking.

The game features clean, minimalist graphics with soothing colors that create a calming atmosphere perfect for relaxation and mental exercise. With over 35 challenging levels and multiple game modes, UnpuzzleX provides hours of engaging puzzle-solving entertainment.

Core Features

Unique Reverse Puzzle Mechanics

Unlike traditional jigsaw puzzles where you build up, UnpuzzleX challenges you to break down. Each puzzle piece can only be removed if there's a clear path - no other pieces can be blocking its exit route. This creates a strategic layer where you must plan your moves carefully.

Extensive Content Library

  • 35+ challenging levels with increasing difficulty
  • 17 unique puzzle piece shapes for varied gameplay
  • Two distinct game modes : Classic mode for relaxed play and Fast mode for time-based challenges
  • Countless solution paths - multiple ways to solve each puzzle

Stress Relief and Brain Training

The game is specifically designed to promote relaxation and inner peace. The methodical process of removing pieces one by one creates a meditative experience that helps reduce stress while simultaneously exercising your brain's spatial reasoning abilities.

Cross-Platform Compatibility

Play directly in your browser without downloads. The game works seamlessly on desktop computers, tablets, and mobile devices, allowing you to enjoy puzzle-solving anywhere.

Game Mechanics

The core gameplay revolves around strategic piece removal:

  1. Analyze the puzzle layout to identify which pieces can be moved
  2. Plan your removal sequence - some pieces must be removed before others
  3. Execute moves carefully - only pieces with clear exit paths can be removed
  4. Clear the entire board to complete each level

Each level presents a unique spatial puzzle that requires logical thinking and careful observation. The difficulty gradually increases, introducing more complex piece arrangements and tighter spatial constraints.
