Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Word vs Word - Glossy Bubble Puzzle**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** "Frutiger Aero" / Glossy Aesthetic. The game board consists of a packed grid (honeycomb or offset rows) of semi-transparent, shiny 3D spheres (bubbles) containing 3D letters inside them. * **Color Palette:** * **Idle Bubbles:** Cool tones (Light Blue, Cyan) with high specularity and reflection. * **Selected Bubbles:** Transition to warm tones (Hot Pink, Magenta, Purple) as seen in the reference image. * **Background:** A subtle, animated gradient (Blue to Indigo) that simulates a fluid or underwater abstract environment. * **Assets & Geometry:** * **Bubbles:** Use `THREE.SphereGeometry`. Use `THREE.MeshPhysicalMaterial` with properties like `transmission`, `roughness: 0.1`, and `clearcoat: 1.0` to achieve the glass/bubble look. * **Letters:** Use `THREE.TextGeometry` or high-res texture sprites centered inside the spheres. * **Performance Optimization (Crucial for Mobile):** Use `THREE.InstancedMesh` for the bubble grid to reduce draw calls. Use a shared geometry for all spheres. Limit polygon count per sphere (e.g., widthSegments: 32, heightSegments: 16). ### 2. Audio Requirements * **Background Music (BGM):** A calm, intelligent, "thinking" track. Soft electronic ambient or lo-fi beats that loop seamlessly. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Select (Touch):** A soft "pop" or water droplet sound when the finger enters a bubble. * **Valid Word:** A satisfying upbeat chime or chord resolution. * **Invalid Word:** A subtle low-pitch "wobble" or soft error buzz. * **Power-up:** A magical, shimmering sound effect. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Setup:** Generate a 6x6 or 7x7 grid of random letters based on English language frequency (e.g., more 'E's and 'A's, fewer 'Z's and 'Q's). Assign point values to letters (e.g., A=1, Z=10). * **Interaction:** * The player starts touching a bubble and drags to adjacent bubbles to form a chain. * A glowing, viscous line (use `THREE.TubeGeometry` or a dynamic line renderer) connects the selected bubbles visually in real-time. * **Validation:** When the player releases the touch: * Check if the formed string is a valid word (using a basic dictionary array for the prototype). * **Success:** The bubbles pop (scale down to 0), score is added (Sum of letter points * Word Length Multiplier), and new bubbles float up or fall down to fill the gaps. * **Failure:** The chain breaks, bubbles revert to blue, and the line disappears with a "shake" animation. * **Win Condition:** Score Attack mode: Reach X points within 60 seconds. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Input System:** Implement a Raycaster attached to `touchstart`, `touchmove`, and `touchend` events. * **Hit Testing:** Ensure the raycaster has a slightly larger hit radius than the visual sphere to make selection forgiving on smaller mobile screens. * **Visual Feedback:** * **Highlighting:** When a bubble is added to the chain, it must immediately change color from Blue to Pink. * **Connection:** The connecting line must follow the cursor/finger position smoothly between bubbles. * **Haptic Feedback:** Trigger `navigator.vibrate(10)` (light impact) every time a new letter is successfully added to the current chain. * **Orientation:** Force **Portrait Mode** layout. The letter grid should occupy the center, with the Score/Timer UI at the top and Power-up buttons (Shuffle, Hint) at the bottom within the "Thumb Zone". Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
