Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Flipside Gravity Racer". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** "Voxel-Tron" Aesthetic. Recreate the original pixel art look using 3D primitives (cubes/voxels). Use a **Low-poly** style with flat shading but heavy use of **Emissive Materials** (Neon Glow) to mimic the "Tron" light cycle look. * **Camera:** Use an **Orthographic Camera** positioned in a side-scrolling view (Perpendicular to the track) to simulate a 2D retro feel while maintaining 3D depth. * **Assets:** * **Player Bike:** A chunky, futuristic bike (voxel style). Main color: Silver with **Neon Green** wheel trails/accents. * **Opponent Bike:** Identical model but with **Hot Pink** trails/accents. * **The Track:** A futuristic industrial corridor. It needs a distinct **Floor** and **Ceiling**. Both surfaces should have procedurally generated obstacles (boxes or barriers). * **Background:** Dark blue/tech-grey parallax layers to simulate speed. * **Performance:** Use `InstancedMesh` for repeated track elements (floor/ceiling tiles) to ensure 60FPS on mobile devices. Limit dynamic lights; rely on glowing textures/materials. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** High-tempo **Chiptune / Synthwave** track. Needs a driving bassline to simulate speed. * **Sound Effects:** * **Engine:** A constant, futuristic electric hum (pitch increases with speed). * **Flip Action:** A digital "Swoosh" or "Phaser" sound when the bike defies gravity transfers from floor to ceiling. * **Impact:** A crushed bit-noise explosion when hitting an obstacle. * **Countdown:** Retro "3, 2, 1, GO" synthesized voice. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic (Gravity Defying):** The bike moves forward automatically (Auto-runner style). The core mechanic is **Gravity Flipping**. The player is either driving on the *Floor* or the *Ceiling*. * **The Race:** The player races against an AI bot. The bot takes the alternate path (if player is on floor, bot might be on ceiling, or vice versa) or mirrors the player. * **Obstacles:** Blocks appear randomly on the floor or ceiling. The player must flip to the opposite surface to avoid them. * **Speed:** The game speed gradually accelerates. * **Win/Loss:** * **Crash:** Hitting an obstacle causes a "Wipeout" (slow down or game over). * **Victory:** Beat the AI bike to the finish line (distance based). ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation:** **Landscape Mode** (Essential for seeing upcoming obstacles). * **Control Scheme:** **"Tap to Flip"**. * Touching *anywhere* on the screen instantly flips the bike's gravity. If on the floor, it jumps to the ceiling. If on the ceiling, it drops to the floor. * **UI Layout:** * **Top Center:** Progress bar showing Player vs AI position. * **Top Right:** Current Speed (pseudo-digital font). * **Menu:** Large, thumb-friendly "Restart" button (minimum 60x60px) displayed upon Game Over. * **Feedback:** * **Visual:** Screen shake when flipping gravity or crashing. * **Haptic:** Trigger `navigator.vibrate(20)` on every gravity flip for tactile feedback. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
