Drifting - Physics-Based Racing Clicker Game
Prompt
MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Drifting**" (a Sling-Drift style arcade racer). Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly:
### 1. Assets & Environment
* **Visual Style:** Low-poly, vibrant, and cartoonish aesthetic (similar to "Crossy Road" or "Sling Drift"). Use flat shading with bright colors.
* **The Car:** A simple, blocky, orange sports car model (assembled from Three.js BoxGeometries). It should have distinct wheels and a visible front/back.
* **The Track:** An endless, procedurally generated winding road (grey asphalt) with white curbs. Crucially, every inner corner must have a **"Grapple Pillar"** (a red and white cylinder) that acts as the anchor point for the drift.
* **Visual Effects:**
* **Rope/Hook:** Use a `THREE.Line` or `THREE.TubeGeometry` to render the grappling hook connecting the car to the pillar when the player inputs.
* **Skid Marks:** Particle trails or temporary mesh lines appearing behind rear wheels during a drift.
* **Drift Smoke:** Simple white square particles emitting from tires when drifting.
* **Camera:** A Top-Down Orthographic camera (or slightly angled Perspective camera) that smoothly follows the car's position but allows the car to drift towards the edges of the screen before catching up.
* **Performance:** Use `InstancedMesh` for repetitive track elements (like barriers or trees) to ensure 60FPS on mobile browsers.
### 2. Audio Requirements
* **BGM:** A high-tempo, looping arcade-style electronic track (Synthwave or upbeat Rock) to maintain adrenaline.
* **Sound Effects (SFX):**
* **Engine:** A constant low hum that changes pitch based on speed.
* **Drift:** A distinct "tire screeching" sound that loops only while the player is holding the screen (drifting).
* **Grapple:** A "woosh" or mechanical "click" sound when the hook connects.
* **Crash:** A metallic crunch or glass breaking sound upon game over.
### 3. Gameplay Loop
* **Core Mechanic:**
* The car moves forward automatically at a constant (slowly increasing) speed.
* **Grappling:** When the player holds the screen, the car shoots a hook to the *nearest* inner-corner pillar.
* **Physics:** While hooked, the car stops moving in a straight line and begins to rotate (orbit) around the pillar (Centripetal force).
* **Release:** When the player releases, the hook detaches, and the car flies off in its current tangential direction.
* **The Goal:** Survive as long as possible. The player must time the "Hold" and "Release" perfectly to navigate curves.
* *Hold too long:* Car crashes into the inner wall/pillar.
* *Release too early/late:* Car flies off the track into the abyss or outer wall.
* **Scoring:** +1 point for every successful turn completed.
* **Game Over:** Collision with track borders or obstacles triggers a "Crashed" state and a Restart UI.
### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction
* **Control Scheme:** **One-Handed / One-Touch Control**.
* `TouchStart` / `MouseDown`: Launch hook and start drifting (rotate around pivot).
* `TouchEnd` / `MouseUp`: Release hook (stop rotation, resume forward momentum).
* **Orientation:** Portrait Mode (Vertical) is preferred for this specific "endless runner" type view, but the camera logic should adapt if the user rotates the screen.
* **Haptic Feedback:** Trigger `window.navigator.vibrate(15)` when the hook connects and a longer vibration `vibrate(200)` on crash.
* **UI Layout:**
* Score display: Large, bold font at the top center.
* "Tap to Start" overlay before the game begins.
* "Game Over" modal with a large, touch-friendly "Retry" button (minimum 44x44px hit area).
