Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Shift to Drift". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Adopt a vibrant, cartoonish "toy car" aesthetic with a top-down, slightly isometric camera view. The graphics should be stylized with clean lines and saturated colors (bright blue for the player, fiery orange for opponents). * **Car Models**: Create simplified, low-poly rally car models. The player car (Blue) and opponent cars (Orange/Red) should have glowing under-chassis lights (neon blue/orange) to emphasize speed. * **Track Design**: Generate a looping asphalt track with distinct white curbs. The track surface should have a subtle texture to indicate movement. The off-road area should be a dark, moody grey/blue abstract texture or stylized low-poly terrain to keep the focus on the track. * **Particle Effects**: * **Drift Smoke**: Crucial for this game. Generate thick, puffy white cloud particles from the rear tires whenever the car is turning sharply. These should linger briefly before fading. * **Skid Marks**: Leave persistent black tire tracks on the asphalt during drifts. * **Performance Optimization**: Use geometry instancing for track barriers or trees. Keep texture sizes small (e.g., 512x512) and use simple shaders to ensure 60fps performance on mobile browsers. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **Background Music (BGM)**: An energetic, high-tempo Electro-Rock or Drum & Bass track. It needs a driving bassline to match the adrenaline of racing. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Engine**: A continuous engine hum that rises in pitch as speed increases. * **Drift**: A distinct, screeching tire sound that plays specifically when the drift mechanic is engaged. * **Collisions**: A thudding "bonk" sound for hitting walls or other cars. * **UI**: High-pitched digital "chirps" for menu selection and a triumphant fanfare for crossing the finish line. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic**: The car accelerates automatically. The key mechanic is "Drifting." The car has poor turning radius normally, but extreme grip and tighter turning when drifting. * **Race Logic**: A simple 3-lap race against 2 AI opponents. * **Victory Condition**: Placing 1st earns 3 stars; 2nd earns 2 stars; 3rd earns 1 star. * **Drift Physics**: Instead of realistic physics, use arcade physics. When the player steers, the car should "snap" into a sideways angle relative to the velocity vector, maintaining speed but changing direction rapidly. * **AI Behavior**: The AI cars follow a predefined spline path (waypoints) but should have slight variations in speed to allow overtaking. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation**: **Portrait Mode** (Vertical). This fits the top-down perspective well for scrolling tracks on phones. * **Control Scheme**: "Touch-to-Steer" logic. * **Tap Left Side of Screen**: Steer/Drift Left. * **Tap Right Side of Screen**: Steer/Drift Right. * **No Touch**: Car centers itself and drives straight. * **UI Layout**: * **Top Center**: Lap Counter (e.g., "Lap 1/3") and Position Indicator (e.g., "1st"). * **Start Screen**: A large, thumb-friendly "START RACE" button with the game logo. * **Feedback**: * **Camera Shake**: A subtle camera shake effect when hitting walls or during high-speed drifts to enhance the feeling of speed on small screens. * **Vibration**: Trigger a short haptic feedback (using `navigator.vibrate`) when the car collides with a wall or opponent. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
