Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Drift Hunters". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** Realistic but optimized "Low-Poly" aesthetic suitable for mobile browsers. Use a desaturated color palette for the track (greys/concretes) to make the car paint pop. * **Car Model:** A sleek, tuner-style sports car (resembling a Nissan 180SX or AE86). Separate meshes for the chassis and wheels (to allow rotation and steering). The car material should use a `MeshStandardMaterial` with an environment map for metallic reflections. * **Track Design:** A closed-circuit race track featuring wide asphalt roads, red-and-white curbstones, and green grass verges. Crucially, include **long sweeping corners** to facilitate extended drifting. * **Atmosphere:** Use a bright, overcast HDRI skybox. Add simple billboard trees and low-poly fences on the periphery to give a sense of speed without killing performance. * **VFX:** Implement a `Points` based particle system for **tire smoke**. Smoke should emit from rear wheels when the slip angle is high. Add skid mark trails on the asphalt using decal projection or simple mesh trails. * **Optimization:** Use instanced rendering for trees and barriers. Limit real-time shadows to the player's car only. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** High-energy "Phonk" or "Eurobeat" style background music to match the drifting subculture vibe. * **SFX - Engine:** A synthesized engine tone that adjusts pitch based on the car's speed/RPM. * **SFX - Tires:** A screeching sound effect that loops; volume and pitch should be mapped to the car's side-slip velocity (louder drift = louder screech). * **SFX - UI:** A "Ka-ching" or rapid ticking sound when drift points are tallied and banked. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic:** The player drives the car and must initiate drifts by steering hard or using the handbrake. * **Drift Physics:** Implement an arcade-style physics model (can use Cannon.js or a simplified custom raycast vehicle). The car should have a tendency to oversteer. Lower the traction on rear wheels to allow the back end to slide out. * **Scoring System:** * **Drift Angle:** Calculate the angle between the car's forward vector and its velocity vector. * **Points Accumulation:** As long as the car is sliding (angle > 15 degrees) and moving above a minimum speed, increment a "Current Drift" score. * **Multiplier:** Increase a multiplier (x2, x3, x4) the longer the drift is maintained without interruption. * **Banking:** If the player drives straight for 2 seconds, the points are "Banked" to the total score. * **Failure:** If the player hits a wall, the "Current Drift" score resets to zero immediately. * **Customization (Simplified):** Allow the user to change the car color (body material color) via a simple UI hex picker before starting. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Screen Orientation:** Forced **Landscape** mode. * **Touch Controls (Virtual UI):** * **Left Thumb:** A horizontal slider or Left/Right arrow buttons for **Steering**. * **Right Thumb:** Three distinct buttons: * **Accelerator:** Large button (bottom right). * **Brake/Reverse:** Medium button (left of accelerator). * **Handbrake:** Medium button (above accelerator) - Crucial for initiating drifts. * **Camera Behavior:** Implement a "Chase Camera" with a slight lag/lerp. When the car drifts, the camera should pan slightly to the side to keep the view focused on the road ahead, not just the back of the car. * **UI HUD:** * Top Center: Total Score. * Center Screen (Floating): Current Drift Points + Multiplier (e.g., "1,500 x2"). Make this text shake or scale up as points increase. * Touch Feedback: Trigger device vibration (Haptic API) when the car collides with a wall or when a massive drift combo is banked. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
