Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Arcade Empire**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** **Hyper-Casual 3D** aesthetic mixed with **Retro-Wave/Synthwave** vibes. * **Player Character:** A minimalistic, faceless white humanoid (capsule/cylinder based geometry). Must wear a red cap and red-rimmed glasses (as seen in the reference). * **Environment:** An indoor arcade hall. The floor should feature a dark grid texture (tron-style) with neon blue/magenta borders. Lighting should be dim with point lights emitting from arcade cabinets to create a glowing atmosphere. * **Objects:** Low-poly Arcade Cabinets. Screens should use emissive materials (Green, Pink, Blue) to simulate glowing displays. * **NPCs:** Simplified "Customer" stickmen (different colors) that wander in, stand in front of machines, and spawn "Money" items. * **Mobile Optimization:** * Use `InstancedMesh` for repeating objects like floor tiles and identical arcade machines to reduce draw calls. * Limit real-time shadows; use baked lighting or simple blob shadows for characters. * Camera view: Isometric Top-Down (Orthographic or high-FOV Perspective) to allow easy management of the floor plan. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM (Background Music):** An upbeat, looping **Synthwave / Chiptune** track. It should feel retro yet modern, similar to 80s arcade vibes but polished. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Coin Collection:** A high-pitched, satisfying "ding" or rapid-fire digital clinking when the player runs over money piles. * **Construction:** A "poof" or "hammering" sound when a new machine is built. * **Repair:** A ratchet/wrench ratcheting sound when the player fixes a broken machine. * **Ambience:** Low-level electronic bleeps and bloops coming from the machines. ### 3. Gameplay Loop (Idle Arcade Tycoon) * **Core Mechanic:** The "Arcade Idle" loop. 1. **Generate:** Arcade machines automatically generate cash over time when used by NPC customers. 2. **Collect:** The player controls the Manager character via joystick. The player must physically run over cash stacks dropped on the floor to collect them. 3. **Deposit/Build:** The player runs to a specific "Unlock Zone" (a glowing square on the floor with a price tag). Standing there drains the player's cash and fills a progress bar. Once full, a new machine appears or the room expands. * **Maintenance Mechanic:** Occasionally, a machine breaks (visualized by smoke particles and a red icon). The player must stand near it for 2 seconds to "Repair" it (wrench animation) before it earns money again. * **Progression:** Start with 1 cheap machine -> Earn Cash -> Buy more machines -> Unlock "Vending Machines" (passive income) -> Unlock new room. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Movement (Primary):** **Floating Virtual Joystick**. Invisible on start, appears wherever the user touches the screen. Controls the character's movement on the X/Z plane. * **Orientation:** **Landscape Mode** preferred to display the arcade layout effectively. * **Contextual Actions (No Buttons):** Interaction should be entirely **proximity-based**. * **To Collect:** Just walk over the money. * **To Buy:** Just stand on the "Buy Zone". * **To Repair:** Just stand next to the broken machine. * **UI & Feedback:** * Top Left: Current Cash counter (Large, readable font). * Floating Text: "+$10" popups when collecting money. * **Haptic Feedback:** Trigger a light vibration (`navigator.vibrate`) when collecting cash or completing a build. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
