Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Mega Miner 3D". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Adopt a **Voxel / Low-Poly 2.5D aesthetic**. The game should use an Orthographic Camera view to mimic the original side-scrolling cross-section look but with 3D depth. * **The Drill**: A chunky, mechanical vehicle with a rotating cone on the bottom. It needs dynamic parts (spinning drill bit, exhaust smoke particles). * **Terrain System**: A grid-based world using `THREE.InstancedMesh` for high performance on mobile. * **Surface**: Grass blocks with 3 distinct buildings (Fuel Station, Ore Depot, Upgrade Workshop). * **Underground**: Layers of soil blocks. As depth increases, soil color changes (Brown -> Grey -> Dark Blue -> Magma). * **Ores**: Randomly scattered blocks representing Coal, Iron, Silver, Gold, and Diamond, utilizing metallic materials or emission maps to sparkle in the dark. * **Lighting & Atmosphere**: * Implement a "Fog of War" or distance fog that gets denser as the player digs deeper. * **Headlight**: The drill must have a `SpotLight` pointing downwards/forwards that illuminates the ores in the darkness. * **Performance**: Strictly limit draw calls. Use object pooling for particle effects (dust when drilling) and `InstancedMesh` for the terrain grid. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A catchy, rhythmic "Industrial Lo-Fi" loop. It should be energetic on the surface but fade into a hollow, ambient echo when deep underground. * **SFX**: * **Drilling**: A continuous, low-frequency rumble that varies in pitch based on drill speed. * **Collection**: A high-pitched "ching" or "clink" sound when an ore block is destroyed. * **UI**: Retro "blip" sounds for menu navigation. * **Alarms**: A distinct warning beep when Fuel is < 20% or Hull Integrity/Temperature is critical. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic**: The player pilots the drill machine. Colliding with a soil block initiates a "drilling" state. After `X` seconds (based on drill tier), the block disappears, and the player collects the loot. * **Resource Management**: * **Fuel**: Drains constantly while moving/drilling. Reaching 0 requires a paid "rescue" to the surface. * **Heat**: drilling generates heat. If the temperature bar fills, the drill takes hull damage over time. * **Cargo**: The player has a limited inventory slot count (e.g., start with 5 slots). Once full, they cannot collect more and must return to the surface. * **Economy & Upgrades**: * Player returns to the "Ore Depot" building to auto-sell cargo for Money. * Player uses Money at the "Workshop" to upgrade: Drill Power (speed), Hull (HP/Heat resistance), Fuel Tank (duration), and Cargo Bay (capacity). ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Movement**: A **Virtual Joystick** floating on the bottom-left of the screen. * Up/Down controls vertical movement (flying/falling). * Left/Right controls lateral movement. * **Interaction**: A large **"Action" Button** on the bottom-right. This is used to interact with surface buildings (e.g., "Press to Refuel" or "Open Shop"). * **UI Layout (HUD)**: * **Top Bar**: Simple, bold progress bars for **Fuel** (Yellow), **Temperature** (Red), and **Hull HP** (Green). Current Cash ($) displayed clearly. * **Cargo Indicator**: A simple fraction (e.g., "3/5") near the drill or in the UI corner. * **Feedback**: * **Haptic**: Trigger `navigator.vibrate(50)` when a block is successfully destroyed. * **Visual**: Screen shake (camera jitter) when drilling tough rocks. Damage numbers popup when hull takes damage. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.

Core Features

Progressive Mining System

Begin your mining career with basic equipment and watch as your operation grows into a mega mining enterprise. The game features a sophisticated progression system where every upgrade meaningfully impacts your mining capabilities.

Strategic Resource Management

Success in Mega Miner requires careful balance of multiple factors: - Heat Management : Deeper drilling generates more heat, requiring cooling upgrades - Fuel Efficiency : Manage your fuel consumption to avoid costly rescues - Equipment Upgrades : Invest wisely in drill improvements, cooling systems, and fuel tanks - Mineral Economics : Learn which ores provide the best profit margins

Deep Underground Exploration

The deeper you drill, the more valuable minerals you'll discover. However, increased depth brings new challenges including extreme heat and fuel consumption. Strategic planning is essential to reach the most profitable mining zones.

RPG-Style Progression

Mega Miner incorporates RPG elements through its comprehensive upgrade system. Enhance your drill's speed, durability, cooling capacity, and fuel efficiency to unlock deeper mining opportunities and more valuable resources.

Game Mechanics

Mining Operations

Your primary objective is collecting minerals from underground deposits and selling them on the surface for profit. Different mineral types offer varying values, creating strategic decisions about where to focus your mining efforts.

Equipment Upgrades

The upgrade system is the heart of Mega Miner's strategy: - Drill Improvements : Increase drilling speed and penetration power - Cooling Systems : Essential for surviving deeper, hotter environments - Fuel Upgrades : Extend your underground operations without frequent surface trips - Cargo Capacity : Carry more minerals per trip for increased efficiency

Surface Management

Return to the surface to sell minerals, purchase upgrades, and plan your next mining expedition. The surface serves as your base of operations where strategic decisions are made.

Operation Guide

Basic Controls

  • WASD Keys or Arrow Keys : Navigate your drill through underground terrain
