Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Words of Wonders: 3D Word Puzzle**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** Create a clean, bright, and relaxing aesthetic. The background should be a high-quality, panoramic 2D skybox or a simple 3D scenic environment (e.g., rolling green hills, a blue sky, similar to the screenshot) representing famous world landmarks. * **Grid System:** Render the crossword grid as a set of rounded, 3D tiles floating in the center-left of the screen. Filled tiles show dark blue sans-serif letters on a white background; empty tiles are semi-transparent white slots. Use soft drop shadows to separate the grid from the background. * **Letter Wheel:** On the bottom-right (or bottom-center for vertical mobile layout), create a circular "plate" or "wheel" holding 3D letter tiles. The letters should be arranged in a circle. * **Effects:** * **Selection Line:** A glowing, dynamic line that follows the user's finger/cursor connecting letters on the wheel. * **Success Particle:** When a correct word is found, the letters fly from the wheel to the grid slots with a trail effect and a small "pop" particle explosion upon landing. * **Mobile Optimization:** Use simple geometries (BoxGeometry for tiles, CylinderGeometry for the wheel) and bake lighting where possible. Ensure textures are compressed (max 1024x1024 for background). Implement an LOD strategy where distant background elements are just a static image. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A calm, instrumental acoustic track (guitar or piano) that loops seamlessly. It should be relaxing and unobtrusive, evoking a sense of travel and wonder. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Select:** A soft "click" or "bubble" sound when touching a letter. * **Connect:** A rising pitch tone as letters are chained together (musical scale effect). * **Success:** A cheerful chime or bell sound when a word is completed and flies to the grid. * **Error:** A gentle, low-pitched thud or "wobble" sound if the word is invalid. * **Level Complete:** A short, celebratory orchestral flourish. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic:** The player is presented with a set of letters on the wheel (e.g., "W", "O", "W"). The player must connect these letters in a single continuous stroke to form words. * **Validation:** * If the formed word exists in the crossword grid, the letters animate from the wheel to fill the corresponding slots. * If the word is valid dictionary word but *not* in the grid, add it to a "Bonus Word" counter with a small visual feedback. * If the word is invalid, the selection line shakes red and fades away. * **Progression:** The level is complete when all blank slots in the crossword grid are filled. Upon completion, show a "Level Up" modal and transition the background to a new "location" (new image). * **Hint System:** Include a "Lightbulb" icon button. When clicked, it spends "Gems" (virtual currency) to reveal one random letter in an unfilled slot on the grid. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Touch Input:** * **Swipe to Connect:** Implement a robust raycaster system. The user touches a letter to start, drags to adjacent letters to connect them, and releases to submit the word. * The line connecting letters must be smooth and responsive (use a Catmull-Rom spline or simple LineRenderer). * **Screen Adaptation:** * **Portrait Mode (Default):** Grid at the top/center, Letter Wheel at the bottom for easy thumb access. * **Landscape Mode:** Grid on the left, Letter Wheel on the right. * **UI Elements:** * Buttons (Hints, Shuffle, Settings) must be at least 44x44 pixels (visual size) with larger hitboxes. * Place the Letter Wheel within the "safe zone" at the bottom of the screen to avoid conflict with iOS home bars or Android navigation gestures. * **Feedback:** * **Haptic:** Trigger a light vibration (Taptic Engine) when a letter is successfully connected to the chain. * **Visual:** Highlight selected letters in gold/orange immediately upon touch. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
