Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Word Wipe". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** Create a clean, "glossy" aesthetic with a soothing blue color palette (referencing the cover art). The scene should feel like a high-quality, polished casual mobile game. * **3D Models (Tiles):** Generate the letter grid using `InstancedMesh` for performance. Each tile should be a rounded cube (chamfered box geometry) with a slightly glossy material (MeshStandardMaterial). The letters should be textures applied to the top face. * **Lighting:** Use a soft ambient light combined with a directional light to create subtle shadows and specular highlights on the tiles, giving them a "plastic" or "ceramic" feel. * **Effects:** * **Selection Trail:** Implement a `TrailRenderer` or a dynamic `LineLoop` that follows the user's finger/mouse to visually connect the selected letters. * **Particles:** When a word is validated and cleared, spawn a small burst of particle effects (squares or sparkles) at the tile locations. * **Environment:** A simple, static background (gradient from deep blue to light blue) or a very subtle 3D backdrop (like a blurred desk surface) to maintain focus on the grid. * **Mobile Optimization:** Limit the polygon count per tile. Use texture atlases for the alphabet if possible. Ensure the camera Field of View (FOV) adapts to keep the entire grid visible on both portrait and landscape aspect ratios. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM (Background Music):** A looping, "thinking" track. It should be calm, rhythmic, and unobtrusive (e.g., soft marimba or electric piano). * **SFX (Sound Effects):** * **Tile Select:** A soft "click" or "pop" sound when dragging over a new letter. * **Valid Word:** A satisfying, ascending chime or "ding" when a word is successfully formed and cleared. * **Invalid Word/Release:** A subtle "thud" or cancellation sound if the player releases without forming a valid word. * **Bomb Power-up:** A heavier "boom" or glass-shattering sound. * **Timer Warning:** A ticking clock sound that fades in when the timer drops below 10 seconds. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Grid Logic:** Initialize a grid (e.g., 10x10) filled with random letters (weighted by English frequency). * **Connection Mechanic:** Players drag to connect adjacent letters (Horizontal, Vertical, Diagonal). A minimum of 3 letters is required. * **Validation:** On input release (`touchend` / `mouseup`), check the formed string against a dictionary (placeholder array for prototype). * **If Valid:** Tiles vanish. Score increases based on word length. * **Gravity:** Existing tiles above the cleared space must "fall" down (animate position tweening) to fill the gaps. New random tiles spawn at the top and drop in. * **Win Condition:** The player must clear a specific number of "lines" (rows) completely within 120 seconds. * **Power-Up:** Implement a "Bomb" button in the UI. When clicked, the next tap on the grid clears a 3x3 area of tiles. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Touch Input:** Implement Raycasting for `touchstart`, `touchmove`, and `touchend`. * **Touch Tolerance:** Add a slight "magnetism" or radius check so the player doesn't have to touch the exact center of the 3D tile (fat-finger friendly). * **Visual Feedback:** * **Highlighting:** The currently selected tiles must change color (e.g., glow green or turn gold) instantly upon touch. * **Line Drawing:** Draw a glowing line connecting the center of the selected tiles. * **UI Layout:** Use an HTML overlay (DOM) over the Canvas for the UI. * **Top Bar:** Timer (Center), Score (Left), Lines Cleared (Right). Ensure text is large and readable on small screens. * **Bottom Bar:** Bomb Power-up button (Large, easy to tap, bottom right or left). * **Haptics:** Trigger `navigator.vibrate(20)` when a letter is added to the selection chain, and a longer vibration `navigator.vibrate(100)` when a valid word is cleared. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.

Game Introduction

About the Game

Word Wipe is a dynamic word search puzzle game that revolutionizes traditional word finding with innovative mechanics. Unlike standard word searches, this game allows you to connect letters in any direction - horizontally, vertically, diagonally, or in complex zigzag patterns. When you form words, the letters disappear and new combinations emerge as remaining letters cascade down, creating fresh opportunities for word discovery.

The game features a unique grid-based system where your objective extends beyond simple word finding. Each level challenges you to clear specific numbers of rows within a strict 120-second time limit, adding strategic depth to the classic word puzzle formula.

Core Features

Dynamic Letter Physics

Watch as letters gracefully fall into place when you clear words, constantly reshaping the playing field. This cascading effect creates new word possibilities and keeps every game session fresh and unpredictable.

Strategic Bomb System

Earn powerful bombs by successfully clearing level objectives. These special tools allow you to eliminate entire 3x3 sections of the grid, providing crucial assistance in challenging situations or helping you create new word formation opportunities.

Flexible Word Formation Rules

Create words using adjacent letters in any direction, similar to Boggle mechanics but with enhanced freedom. Change directions mid-word, create L-shaped patterns, or follow complex paths to discover longer, higher-scoring words.

Progressive Difficulty System

Each level increases the number of rows you must clear, ensuring continuous challenge progression. The timed nature adds pressure while the bomb rewards provide strategic relief for skilled players.

Comprehensive Statistics Tracking

Monitor your performance with detailed statistics including your best words, highest levels reached, and scoring achievements. Track your improvement over time and challenge yourself to beat previous records.

Game Mechanics

Word Formation Process

Select your starting letter and drag your cursor to connect adjacent letters in your desired word. The game accepts words of three letters or more, with longer words providing higher scores. You can change direction at any time during selection, allowing for creative word discoveries.

Row Clearing Objectives

Your primary goal is clearing the specified number of rows for each level. Focus on forming words that eliminate letters from lower rows, causing upper letters to cascade down and potentially clearing multiple rows simultaneously.

Time Management Strategy

With only 120 seconds per level, efficient word spotting becomes crucial. Scan for longer words first, as they provide better scoring and more significant grid impact. Use shorter words strategically to set up better letter combinations.

Operation Guide

Mouse Controls: - Click and Drag : Select starting letter and drag to connect adjacent letters - Release : Confirm word selection and clear chosen letters - Bomb Usage : Click bomb icon and select target 3x3 area for elimination

Strategy Tips: - Look for longer words (4+ letters) for maximum impact - Plan ahead to create cascading effects - Save bombs for critical moments or challenging letter arrangements - Focus on clearing lower rows to maximize cascade potential
