Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "LA Traffic Mayhem". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** Low-poly, vibrant 3D aesthetic to mimic the sunny atmosphere of Los Angeles. Use a saturated color palette (cyan skies, grey asphalt, bright car colors). * **Camera View:** Fixed Isometric view (OrthographicCamera) positioned to show a clear 4-way intersection. * **Environment Assets:** * A 4-way intersection grid with visible lane markings and crosswalks. * Decorative elements: Stylized palm trees along the sidewalks, simple rectangular buildings in the background, and street lamps. * **Traffic Lights:** suspended on wires or poles above each lane, with emissive materials for Red, Yellow, and Green states. * **Vehicle Models:** Simple boxy shapes representing different vehicle types (Sedans, Sports Cars, Vans). * **VFX:** * Simple smoke particle system (instanced planes) triggered upon car collisions. * "Speed lines" or dust trails behind cars moving at high speed. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A looped, uptempo urban funk or lo-fi hip-hop track representing the LA "cool" factor. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Interaction:** A satisfying digital "click" or mechanical switch sound when a player taps a traffic light. * **Traffic:** Ambient city noise (distant hum), distinct car horns when cars wait too long. * **Crash:** A loud, comical metal crunching sound followed by a steam hiss. * **Score:** A subtle "ka-ching" or point tally sound when a car successfully exits the screen. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic:** Cars spawn randomly from all four cardinal directions and move towards the center. They automatically stop at Red lights and accelerate through Green lights. * **Player Goal:** Manage the flow of traffic to prevent jams and collisions. The goal is to get as many cars across the intersection as possible. * **Traffic Logic:** * Traffic lights have three states: Green, Yellow (brief transition), and Red. * Cars have a simple braking curve. If a light turns red too late, the car might run it (adding risk). * **Fail State:** If two cars' bounding boxes intersect (Collision), the game freezes, the crash VFX plays, and a "Game Over" UI appears. * **Scoring:** +1 point for every car that leaves the play area safely. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation:** Landscape mode (preferred for wider street view). * **Touch Controls:** * **Tap to Toggle:** Use a Raycaster to detect touches on the traffic lights. Tapping a light instantly toggles it (or cycles Green -> Yellow -> Red). * **Hitbox Optimization:** Ensure the touch targets for the traffic lights are larger than the visible mesh (invisible hit-spheres) to accommodate imprecise finger taps. * **UI Layout:** * Score display in the top-center (large, readable font). * A "Reset/Retry" button that appears overlaying the screen upon Game Over. * UI elements must be kept away from screen edges to avoid conflict with mobile OS gestures (Safe Area). * **Feedback:** * **Visual:** The traffic light mesh should scale up slightly (bounce effect) when tapped. * **Haptic:** Trigger `navigator.vibrate(50)` on light switch, and a heavy vibration `navigator.vibrate(500)` on crash. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
