Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Word Search 3D". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** Clean, modern, and casual, inspired by "Frutiger Aero" or glossy aesthetics (referencing the blue glossy logo). Use a bright color palette: white background, soft grey accents, and a primary "ocean blue" for the UI and highlighting. * **3D Assets:** * **Letter Tiles:** Represent the letter grid not as flat text, but as slightly beveled 3D tiles (rounded cubes) with high-contrast texture mapping for the letters. * **The Grid:** A 10x10 to 12x12 container board. * **Highlighter:** Use a semi-transparent `TubeGeometry` or `LineLoop` with a glowing shader to represent the user's selection line (marker style). * **Camera:** Orthographic camera or a Perspective camera with a narrow Field of View (FOV) locked to a top-down view to ensure perfect readability of letters without distortion. * **Performance:** Use `InstancedMesh` for the letter tiles to minimize draw calls, as there will be 100+ tiles on screen. Textures should be packed into a texture atlas. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A calm, "Coffee Break" style track. Lo-fi beats or soft acoustic guitar to encourage focus without causing stress. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Tile Touch:** A soft "pop" or "click" when the finger touches a letter. * **Dragging:** A continuous, subtle marker-on-paper sound or rising pitch while selecting. * **Success:** A bright, harmonious chime or major chord when a correct word is locked in. * **Error:** A gentle "wobble" sound or dull thud if the selected word is invalid. * **Level Complete:** A short fanfare or applause sound. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Initialization:** * **Language & Theme Selector:** A simplified HTML overlay UI allowing selection of Language (EN, DE, IT, FR, ES, PT) and Theme (Fruits, Computers, Countries, etc.). * **Grid Generation:** An algorithm must place the target words in 8 directions (Horizontal, Vertical, Diagonal, and Backwards for all) and fill remaining spaces with random letters. * **Core Mechanics:** * The player scans the grid for words listed in a "To-Find" panel. * Timer counts upwards (Time Attack mode) displayed at the top. * When a valid word is selected, the 3D tiles for that word should animate (e.g., slight jump or color change to Green/Blue) and the word is crossed off the UI list. * **Win Condition:** All words in the list are found. Show a "Level Complete" modal with the final time. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Touch Input:** Raycasting is required. * `TouchStart`: Raycast to find the first tile. Anchor the "Selection Line" start point here. * `TouchMove`: Raycast to find the current tile under the finger. Snap the "Selection Line" end point to the center of this tile. Calculate valid 45-degree angles to prevent invalid diagonal selection. * `TouchEnd`: Validate the sequence of letters. * **Haptic Feedback:** Trigger a short vibration (`navigator.vibrate(10)`) every time the user drags over a new tile, simulating tactile friction. * **Orientation:** Portrait mode preferred to maximize vertical space for the grid and word list. * **UI Layout:** * Top: Timer and Theme Title. * Center: 3D Scene (The Grid). * Bottom: Scrollable list of words to find (HTML overlay). Buttons must be at least 44x44px. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
