MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "American Tow Truck". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** Use a stylized **Low-Poly 3D** aesthetic with vibrant colors to ensure high performance on mobile browsers. * **Player Vehicle:** A rugged, American-style Tow Truck (resembling a Peterbilt or Kenworth). Primary color: Construction Orange. Key details: Chrome exhaust stacks, a flatbed or crane hook on the rear. * **Target Vehicles:** Low-poly civilian cars (sedans, hatchbacks) placed in "Illegal Parking" zones. Target cars should have a subtle glowing outline to distinguish them from environment props. * **Environment:** A modular city grid. * **Roads:** Asphalt with yellow center lines. * **Obstacles:** Curbs (sidewalk edges), lamp posts, and other parked cars. * **Destination:** A fenced "Impound Yard" with a designated drop-off zone (green semi-transparent box). * **Mobile Optimization:** Use `THREE.InstancedMesh` for repeating environment objects (trees, buildings). Keep shadow maps simple or use baked lighting textures. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A looping, upbeat **Blues-Rock / Country-Rock instrumental** track (electric guitar, drums, bass) to evoke the "American Trucker" vibe. * **SFX:** * **Engine:** A diesel engine idle sound that increases in pitch/volume when accelerating. * **Braking:** An air-brake hiss sound when stopping. * **Impact:** A metal "crunch" sound when colliding with obstacles (indicating damage). * **Towing:** A metallic "clank" or hydraulic whir when the hook successfully attaches to a car. * **Success:** A "Cha-ching" cash register sound upon delivering a car. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Objective:** The player must locate a specific illegally parked car, reverse the truck to align with it, attach the car, and tow it to the Impound Yard without destroying the truck. * **Towing Mechanism:** * When the truck's rear bumper is within a close radius (e.g., 2 units) of the target car's front bumper, a "HOOK" button lights up (or auto-attaches with a visual cable connection). * Once attached, the car follows the truck using simple physics constraints (like a rigid trailer) or by parenting the car object to the truck to prevent physics jitter on mobile. * **Damage System:** The truck is described as "delicate like a flower." Implement a **Health Bar**. Collisions with buildings or heavy curbing reduce health. If health hits 0, Game Over. * **Win Condition:** Successfully parking the towed car in the Impound Yard zone. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Screen Orientation:** **Landscape Mode** (Horizontal) is mandatory. * **Control Scheme (UI Overlay):** * **Left Side:** Two large arrows (Left/Right) for steering. * **Right Side:** Two pedals (Gas and Brake/Reverse). * **Action Button:** A specific button labeled "HOOK/UNHOOK" that appears contextually when near a target car or drop-off zone. * **Camera:** Third-person follow camera. It should float behind and slightly above the truck, with a smooth damping effect (Lerp) so it doesn't feel rigid. * **Navigation Aid:** A simple 2D arrow indicator at the top center of the screen pointing toward the current objective (Target Car first, then Impound Yard). * **Feedback:** Trigger `navigator.vibrate(50)` on collisions (if supported) to provide tactile feedback for damage. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
