Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Grand Prix Tycoon: Pocket Edition**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Low-poly, vibrant 3D stylized aesthetic (similar to "Crossy Road" or retro arcade racers) to ensure 60FPS on mobile devices. * **Core Models**: * **Player Car**: A blocky, red Formula 1 style race car. It needs separated meshes for wheels to allow rotation animation. * **Track**: A procedural or looping asphalt track segment with red and white curbs (rumble strips). Include simple green low-poly trees or grandstand blocks on the sides to create a sense of speed (parallax effect). * **Camera**: * **Shop Mode**: Isometric view of the car in a "garage" setting. * **Race Mode**: A dynamic "Follow Camera" positioned slightly above and behind the car. Camera Shake effect should be applied when speed is high or during collisions. * **Optimization**: Use `BoxGeometry` and `CylinderGeometry` primarily. Merge geometries where possible. Use simple Lambert materials with basic directional lighting to minimize GPU load. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: * **Menu/Shop**: Relaxed, "elevator style" Bossa Nova or light synth-pop loop (suggesting management/business). * **Race**: High-tempo electronic/drum & bass track to induce adrenaline. * **SFX**: * **Engine**: A synthesized engine hum that increases in pitch (`detune`) based on the car's current speed variable. * **Tycoon UI**: "Cash Register" *cha-ching* sound when purchasing upgrades. * **Interaction**: Mechanical wrench sounds when selecting upgrades. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **State Machine**: The game must cycle between two distinct phases: **Manager Phase** and **Race Phase**. * **Manager Phase (Tycoon)**: * Player starts with a basic budget. * Simple UI to buy upgrades: **Engine** (increases Max Speed), **Aerodynamics** (increases Acceleration), **Tires** (Reduces speed penalty in corners). * "Start Race" button to transition. * **Race Phase (Action)**: * **Mechanic Translation ("Type to Drive" -> "Tap to Rev")**: Since mobile lacks a keyboard, translate the original "Type to drive" mechanic into a **Rapid Tapping** mechanic. The car accelerates based on how fast the player taps the screen. If the player stops tapping, the car decelerates due to friction. * **Goal**: Reach the finish line within a specific time limit or beat an AI opponent (simple moving block). * **Reward**: Finishing the race awards currency based on position/time, which is used in the next Manager Phase. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation**: **Portrait Mode** (Vertical) is preferred for one-handed play, making it a "casual tycoon" experience. * **Input Handling**: * Use `touchstart` events instead of `click` to eliminate delay. * **Race Controls**: The entire bottom half of the screen is a "Gas Pedal" hit area. Rapid tapping revs the engine. * **UI/UX**: * **HUD**: Display Speed (RPM gauge), Current Money, and Lap Time at the top. * **Feedback**: When tapping during the race, spawn small floating text particles ("Perfect!", "Good!") or exhaust particles to give immediate visual feedback. * **Haptics**: Trigger `navigator.vibrate(50)` on successful upgrade purchase and continuous light vibration when the car is at top speed. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
