Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Driftwave**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** High-contrast Arcade Aesthetic. Use **Low-poly models** with **Flat Shading** (e.g., `MeshLambertMaterial` or `MeshToonMaterial`) to mimic the clean vector art style of the reference image. * **Color Palette:** * **Background:** Deep, electric blue (`#0033CC`) fog or solid background to represent the void. * **Track:** Stark white (`#FFFFFF`) floating roads with sharp edges. * **Player Car:** Blocky, stylized sedan in bright orange (`#FF9900`) with black windows and separate wheel meshes for rotation animation. * **Obstacles:** Low-poly traffic cones (orange/white stripes) and concrete barriers. * **Visual Feedback:** * **Skid Marks:** Use `TrailRenderer` or dynamic mesh generation to leave black tire tracks on the white road when drifting. * **Drift Smoke:** Simple white cubic particle system emitting from rear wheels during drift states. * **Camera:** Isometric or Top-down follow camera (smoothly lerping behind the car) to ensure visibility of upcoming turns. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** High-energy, fast-paced **Synthwave or Electro-Pop** loop. It should feel driving and rhythmic. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Engine:** A synthesizer-based engine hum that increases in pitch based on the car's velocity. * **Drift:** A "woosh" or stylised screech sound that triggers when the drift angle exceeds 15 degrees. * **Impact:** A comedic "bonk" or dull thud when hitting cones or walls. * **UI:** A sharp "swipe" sound for menu transitions and a satisfying "click" for level completion. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanics:** The car auto-accelerates forward. The player's only goal is to steer/drift through winding tracks without falling off the edge or crashing into static obstacles. * **Level Design:** Linear tracks that get progressively narrower and curvier. The track floats in the void. * **Win Condition:** Crossing a checkered finish line. * **Fail Condition:** Falling off the track (falling into the blue void) or hitting a heavy barrier. Hitting small cones just slows the car down. * **Progression:** Upon finishing a track, immediately transition to the next level (procedurally generated or pre-set). ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Control Scheme (Drag-to-Drift):** * **Start:** Swipe up to ignite the engine. * **Steering/Drifting:** Implement an "Anywhere Joystick" mechanic. * `TouchStart`: Anchors the control point. * `TouchMove`: Calculates a vector from the anchor. The **direction** of the drag determines the steering direction. The **length** of the drag determines the drift intensity (sharpness of the turn). * `TouchEnd`: Returns steering to neutral (center). * **Screen Orientation:** **Portrait Mode** optimized. This allows for one-handed play. * **UI Elements:** * Minimalist HUD. * A "Restart" button that appears immediately upon crashing (large touch target, at least 60x60px). * **Visual Control Feedback:** When the player drags, render a faint arrow on the ground projecting the car's intended path based on the input vector. * **Haptic Feedback:** Trigger the device's vibration API (`navigator.vibrate`) when the car hits an obstacle or lands a perfect drift. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.

Game Introduction

About Driftwave

Driftwave is the ultimate test of your driving and drifting prowess, combining fast-paced racing with precision skill challenges. This dynamic 3D driving game puts you behind the wheel of sleek vehicles as you navigate through increasingly complex levels filled with obstacles and tight corners. With its intuitive touch controls and engaging gameplay mechanics, Driftwave offers an authentic drifting experience that's both accessible to newcomers and challenging for experienced drivers.

Core Features

Master the Art of Drifting

Driftwave's core gameplay revolves around seamless transitions between standard driving and controlled drifting. The game's physics engine provides realistic drift mechanics that reward skillful control and punish reckless driving. Each level demands different approaches, from tight technical sections requiring precision to open areas where you can unleash high-speed drifts.

Multiple Vehicle Options

Choose from various cars in the garage, each offering unique handling characteristics and visual styles. Whether you prefer nimble sports cars for technical courses or powerful muscle cars for straight-line speed, there's a vehicle that matches your driving style.

Progressive Difficulty System

Start with beginner-friendly courses and gradually work your way up to expert-level challenges. Each level introduces new obstacles, tighter corners, and more complex layouts that will test even the most skilled drivers. The progressive difficulty ensures a satisfying learning curve for players of all skill levels.

Obstacle Navigation Challenges

Success in Driftwave isn't just about speed – it's about precision. Navigate through carefully placed obstacles including traffic cones, barriers, and dynamic hazards while maintaining optimal racing lines and drift angles.

Gameplay Mechanics

Driftwave combines traditional racing elements with skill-based challenges, creating a unique gaming experience that emphasizes both speed and precision. The game rewards players who can maintain high speeds while executing perfect drifts around corners and obstacles.

Dynamic Control System

The game features an innovative control scheme that adapts to your device. On mobile devices, intuitive swipe and drag gestures provide responsive control over your vehicle's movement and drift angle. Desktop players can enjoy equally precise mouse-based controls that offer fine-tuned steering input.

Scoring and Progression

Each level challenges you to reach the finish line as quickly as possible while avoiding crashes and maintaining smooth driving lines. Your performance unlocks new vehicles and more challenging courses, providing continuous motivation to improve your skills.

Operation Guide

Getting Started

  • Swipe forward to accelerate and begin your run
  • Click and drag anywhere on the screen while driving to initiate and control drifts
  • Drag further from your starting point for more dramatic drift angles
