Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Pancake Maker". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** 3D "Kawaii" Toon-shaded aesthetic. Use `MeshToonMaterial` for a vibrant, cartoonish look similar to the reference image. The color palette should be high-saturation pastels (pinks, creamy yellows, warm browns). * **Key Models:** * **Kitchen Set:** A wooden countertop texture in the foreground. Background should be a blurred, cozy kitchen environment (or a simple gradient skybox) to keep focus on the food. * **Utensils:** A frying pan/griddle (metallic dark grey), a mixing bowl, and a spatula. * **Food Items:** * **Pancake:** A cylindrical mesh with rounded edges. Needs texture states for "Raw" (pale yellow), "Perfect" (golden brown), and "Burnt" (dark brown). * **Toppings (Low Poly):** 3D meshes for strawberries, banana slices, blueberries, butter squares, and cheese. * **Syrup:** A dynamic mesh or a decal that sits on top of the pancake stack, colored pink (strawberry) or amber (maple). * **Effects:** * **Steam Particles:** Rising white opacity particles when cooking. * **Sizzle Effect:** Tiny popping particles near the pancake base. * **Confetti:** Explodes when the final dish is completed. * **Mobile Optimization:** Use simple geometries (CylinderBufferGeometry, SphereBufferGeometry) to keep polygon count low. Use a single directional light with soft shadows and an ambient light to ensure visibility on mobile screens with varied brightness. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A cheerful, acoustic "Bossa Nova" or "Ukulele" track. Relaxing but upbeat, simulating a Sunday morning breakfast vibe. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Mixing:** A wet "squish" or whisking sound. * **Cooking:** A continuous low-fidelity "sizzle" frying sound that loops while the batter is on the pan. * **Flipping:** A "whoosh" followed by a soft "thud" when the pancake hits the pan again. * **Topping Placement:** satisfying "pop" or "plop" sounds (high pitch) when ingredients land on the stack. * **UI/Success:** A cheerful chime or "Ta-da!" sound when the dish is finished. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Phase 1: Batter Mixing (Simplified):** The user taps and holds to pour batter onto the hot griddle. The batter mesh should grow in scale (x, z axis) to simulate spreading. * **Phase 2: Cooking & Flipping:** * A circular progress bar (or visual color change) indicates cooking status. * **Mechanic:** The player must tap the screen to flip the pancake when the indicator is green. Tapping too early results in a messy flip; tapping too late burns the pancake (fail state). * The goal is to cook a stack of 3 perfect pancakes. * **Phase 3: Decoration (Creative Mode):** * The camera zooms out to show the stack. * A UI tray appears at the bottom with ingredients (Syrup, Fruits, Cream, Savory items). * **Mechanic:** Infinite creative placement. The player drags items from the tray onto the stack. Items should "snap" to the surface of the pancake using raycasting. * **Victory Condition:** Player taps a "Serve" button. The game calculates a "Deliciousness Score" based on cooking perfection and variety of toppings, followed by a screenshot-ready camera angle. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation:** **Portrait Mode** (Vertical). This fits the "stacking" verticality of pancakes better on mobile devices and allows for one-handed play. * **Touch Controls:** * **Tap:** Used to flip the pancake. * **Hold:** Used to pour batter. * **Drag & Drop:** Use `TouchEvents` mapped to a Three.js `Raycaster`. Users drag toppings from the bottom UI panel into the 3D scene. * **UI/UX:** * Buttons (like "Serve" or "Reset") must be at least 44x44 pixels and placed in the bottom thumb-reachable zone. * Topping icons should be large and clearly distinguishable. * **Feedback:** * **Haptics:** Trigger `navigator.vibrate(50)` short pulse when the pancake lands after a flip, and a lighter pulse when a topping is placed. * **Visual Bounce:** Apply a slight elastic scaling animation (GSAP or tweening) to the pancake stack when a new item lands on it to simulate softness. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
