MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Word Boss - 3D Classic Word Puzzle**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** Skeuomorphic, tabletop aesthetic. The game should feel like a high-quality physical board game played on a wooden desk. * **3D Models:** * **Tiles:** 3D rounded cubes (chamfered edges) resembling Scrabble or Mahjong tiles. They should have a cream/beige wooden texture with dark brown letters engraved (or texture-mapped) on top. * **Background:** A high-resolution, dark polished wood texture (oak or walnut) acting as the table surface. Add a vignette effect to focus attention on the center. * **Slots:** Two main rows. The top row is the "Active Word" slots (empty indentations on the table). The bottom row is the "Hand" (where the 6 random tiles sit). * **Lighting & Effects:** * Warm, top-down spotlighting to cast soft, realistic shadows from the tiles onto the table. * Subtle ambient occlusion to ground the tiles. * **Mobile Optimization:** Use `BoxGeometry` for tiles to keep polygon count low. Use shared materials for all tiles to reduce draw calls. Limit dynamic shadows to the active gameplay area. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM (Background Music):** A relaxing, looping "Coffee Shop" style track—soft jazz piano or acoustic guitar. It should be low volume and non-intrusive. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Tile Tap/Move:** A crisp, wooden "clack" sound (like dominoes hitting a table). * **Valid Word:** A harmonious, satisfying chime or "ding." * **Invalid Word:** A dull, hollow wooden thud or a subtle buzzer. * **Shuffle:** A rattling sound of multiple tiles colliding. * **Timer Warning:** A soft ticking clock sound for the last 10 seconds. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Setup:** * The game generates **6 random letters** based on Scrabble-like frequency (e.g., more 'E's and 'A's, fewer 'Z's). * A simulated "Dictionary" (use a small array of 20-30 valid words for code demonstration purposes) is generated based on these letters. * A 2-minute countdown timer starts. * **Action:** * The player moves letters from the "Hand" to the "Active Word" area to form a word. * Player presses a "Submit" button. * **Validation:** * If valid: The word is added to a visible "Found Words" scrollable list (UI overlay), score increases based on word length, and tiles return to the hand. * If invalid: The tiles shake (visual feedback) and remain in the active slot. * **End Game:** When the timer hits 0:00, show a "Time's Up" modal with the final score, total words found, and a "Play Again" button. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Camera:** Fixed Perspective Camera looking down at a slight angle (e.g., 75 degrees) to show the depth of the 3D tiles without obscuring the letters. * **Touch Interactions (Raycaster):** * **Tap to Move:** Tapping a tile in the "Hand" instantly creates a tween animation moving it to the first available "Active" slot. Tapping a tile in the "Active" slot returns it to the "Hand." * **Drag & Drop:** Implement touch-and-drag logic. The tile should lift slightly (y-axis) and follow the finger/cursor. When released near a slot, it snaps into place. * **Shuffle Button:** A dedicated on-screen 3D button or UI button that randomizes the order of tiles in the "Hand." * **UI Layout:** * **Orientation:** Portrait mode preferred for mobile phone usage. * **Touch Targets:** Ensure the "Submit", "Shuffle", and "Clear" buttons are at least 44x44px. * **Feedback:** * **Haptic:** Trigger a short vibration (`navigator.vibrate(10)`) when a tile snaps into a slot. * **Visual:** Tiles should highlight (emissive glow) when touched. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
