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:** Semi-realistic "Arcade Simulation" style. High contrast between dark asphalt and the vehicle. Use a color palette dominated by greys (road), vibrant greens (foliage), and industrial whites/reds (barriers). * **Car Model:** A low-poly sports coupe resembling a Toyota AE86 or Nissan S15 (approx. 1500-2000 triangles). The car must have separate meshes for the wheels to allow rotation and steering. Include a simple interior silhouette (darkened glass). * **Environment:** A closed-circuit race track ("Nishuri" style) featuring wide curves suitable for drifting. Include low-poly trees (billboards), concrete barriers, and red/white curbs. * **Effects:** * **Tire Smoke:** Particle system emitting white/grey puffs from rear wheels when the "slip angle" exceeds a certain threshold. * **Skid Marks:** TrailRenderer or decal system leaving black tracks on the asphalt during drifts. * **Mobile Optimization:** Use `THREE.InstancedMesh` for trees and barriers. Use baked lighting/shadows on the track texture to reduce real-time calculation. Limit real-time shadows to the player car only. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A high-energy "Eurobeat" or "Phonk" style loop that encourages fast driving. * **SFX:** * **Engine:** A synthesized engine tone that changes pitch based on the car's current speed/RPM. * **Tires:** A screeching sound effect that fades in volume based on the car's lateral velocity (drift angle). * **Impact:** A metal crunch sound when colliding with barriers. * **UI:** crisp "click" sounds for menu interaction and a "ching" sound when banking points. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Physics Mechanics:** Implement an arcade vehicle controller (simplified RaycastVehicle or rigid body with modified friction). The core mechanic is **Oversteer**: The rear wheels should have lower friction than the front to allow the back end to swing out when turning at high speeds + handbrake. * **Scoring System:** * **Drift Points:** calculate score based on `Drift Angle * Speed * Duration`. * **Combo/Multiplier:** A multiplier (x2, x3, x4) builds up the longer the drift is maintained without hitting a wall. * **Banking:** Points are "Banked" only when the drift ends safely. Hitting a wall resets the current combo to 0. * **Goal:** Accumulate points to beat a high score (simulated economy: show a "Cash" UI that increases with score, implying future car purchases). ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Screen Orientation:** Landscape (Horizontal) is mandatory. * **Touch Controls:** * **Left Thumb:** Two large arrows (Left/Right) or a virtual joystick for steering. Sensitivity must be high to allow quick counter-steering. * **Right Thumb:** Three distinct buttons: 1. **Gas (Accelerator):** Large button (bottom right). 2. **Brake/Reverse:** Medium button (left of Gas). 3. **Handbrake:** Distinct button (top right, easily tap-able) to initiate the drift. * **Camera:** A "Chase Camera" that follows the car with a `Lerp` (smoothing) function. The camera should lag slightly behind the car and swing towards the outside of the turn during a drift to frame the action dynamically. * **Feedback:** * **Haptic:** Trigger `navigator.vibrate(50)` when the car impacts a wall or initiates a hard drift. * **Visual:** Screen shake effect (slight camera jitter) during collisions. Display a dynamic "Drift Score" counter in the top center that grows in size as the combo increases. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.

Game Mechanics

Scoring System

Drift Hunters rewards style over speed. The longer you maintain a drift, the higher your point multiplier climbs. Extended drift chains across multiple corners can generate massive point bonuses, allowing you to quickly accumulate currency for new cars and upgrades.

Progression Path

  • Start with basic vehicles and gradually work toward exotic supercars
  • Unlock new cars starting at 8,500 points
  • Top-tier vehicles cost over 134,000 points
  • Strategic upgrading: Focus on optimizing starter cars before purchasing expensive vehicles

Operation Guide

Basic Controls

  • WASD or Arrow Keys : Steer your vehicle
  • Spacebar : Handbrake for initiating and controlling drifts
  • C Key : Cycle through camera angles
