Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Empire City". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Camera & Perspective:** Use an **OrthographicCamera** positioned isometrically (e.g., position at 20, 20, 20 looking at 0, 0, 0) to mimic the classic 2.5D city-builder look shown in the reference. * **Visual Style:** Low-poly, vibrant "Ancient Rome/Classical" aesthetic. Textures should be high-saturation (bright greens for grass, terra-cotta reds for roofs, beige for stone). * **Terrain:** A tile-based grid system (Infinite plane divided into distinct 1x1 unit tiles). * **Ground:** Texture atlas containing Grass, Dirt Road, and Water tiles. * **Water Shader:** Simple blue plane with scrolling UVs and white rim foam to simulate flow (low computational cost). * **Key Models (Low Poly):** * *Residential:* Small square houses with red tiled roofs (LOD: <300 tris). * *Industrial:* Clay Quarry (rocks/crane), Workshops, and a large centerpiece Watermill with a rotating wheel animation. * *Nature:* Simple billboards or low-poly meshes for Fruit Trees and Pine Trees. * *Citizens:* Very simple capsule-shaped agents or low-poly humans walking along the Dirt Roads. * **Performance:** Use `InstancedMesh` for repetitive elements like trees, wheat stalks, and road tiles to reduce draw calls. Use baked ambient occlusion in textures rather than real-time shadow casting if possible. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A calm, looping orchestral track featuring flutes, harps, and light percussion to evoke an "Ancient Civilization" atmosphere. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * *UI:* Crisp "wood block" click sounds for menu interactions. * *Construction:* A "dust cloud" sound + hammer tapping when a building is placed. * *Collection:* A satisfying high-pitched "pop" or "coin jingle" when collecting resources (Clay/Mixture). * *Environment:* faint looping sound of rushing water near the river and birds chirping. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Economy & Resources:** * Player starts with basic currency (Gold) and materials (Clay). * **Production Cycle:** Click Quarry -> Wait X seconds -> Floating Icon appears -> Click Icon to Collect Clay. * **Building Mechanics:** * **Grid Placement:** Buildings snap to the grid. Valid placement shows green highlight; invalid (collision) shows red. * **Road Dependency:** Logic check: Buildings must be adjacent to a "Road" tile to function. * **Upgrade System:** * Select a House -> Check if Player has enough "Clay" -> Upgrade visual model (e.g., add a second floor). * *Speed-up:* Implement a "Gem" button to instantly finish production timers. * **State Machine:** Idle State -> Build Mode (Roads/Houses) -> Selection State (Upgrade/Info). ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Camera Controls:** * **One-finger drag:** Pan the camera across the map (XZ plane). * **Two-finger pinch:** Zoom in/out (adjust Orthographic camera zoom). * **Interaction (Raycasting):** * **Tap:** Select building or collect floating resource icons. * **Long Press:** Enter "Move/Edit" mode for a building. * **UI Layout (HTML Overlay):** * Bottom bar: Large, thumb-friendly buttons (64x64px min) for "Build", "Roads", "Quests". * Top right: Resource counters (Gold, Clay, Gems). * **Feedback:** * **Haptic:** Trigger `navigator.vibrate(50)` on successful building placement or resource collection. * **Visual Tweening:** When a building is placed, it should scale up from 0 (Scale 0->1 using a bounce easing function) for a playful, "juicy" feel. Floating text (+1 Clay) should float up and fade out upon collection. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
