Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Papa's Taco Mia 3D". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Use a **Low-Poly Cel-Shaded (Toon)** aesthetic to mimic the original 2D Flash vector art but in a 3D space. The color palette should be vibrant, featuring saturated reds, oranges, and yellows (#FF5733, #FFC300). * **Camera & Layout**: Implement a fixed camera that transitions (tweens) smoothly between three distinct stations: **Order Station** (Lobby), **Grill Station** (Stove), and **Build Station** (Countertop). * **Key Models**: * **Taco Shells**: Hard and Soft variations. * **Meat**: Cylinder geometries that change color/texture based on cooking state (Pink -> Brown -> Black/Burnt). * **Toppings**: Low-poly distinct shapes for cheese shreds, lettuce strips, and tomato cubes. * **Customers**: Stylized capsule-like characters with 2D billboard faces (texture sprites) to save performance on mobile. * **Optimization**: Use `InstancedMesh` for repeated topping particles. Limit texture sizes to 512x512. Use baked lighting for the kitchen environment to avoid expensive real-time shadows. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A loopable, upbeat **Mariachi-style track** featuring acoustic guitar, trumpet, and light percussion to match the Mexican food theme. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **UI**: A distinct "Bell Ding" when an order is received or completed. A "Cash Register" sound for the score screen. * **Cooking**: A continuous looping "Sizzle" sound that increases in volume as meat cooks. * **Interaction**: A "Squish/Pop" sound when placing toppings. A "Whoosh" sound for camera transitions between stations. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Phase 1: Order Station**: Customers appear. A ticket generates with specific requirements (Meat Type + Doneness + Toppings List). * **Phase 2: Grill Station**: Player drags raw meat onto the pan. * *Mechanic*: A circular timer gauge appears above the meat. Player must Tap to flip halfway, and Tap-and-Drag to remove when fully cooked. Leaving it too long results in "Burnt" state (failure). * **Phase 3: Build Station**: The cooked meat is placed in the shell. * *Mechanic*: Player selects toppings from bins. They must drag their finger across the taco to distribute toppings evenly. * **Scoring System**: Calculate a score (0-100%) based on: * Meat cook time accuracy (within +/- 1 second). * Topping distribution evenness (checked via raycasting hit counts on the taco mesh). * Order accuracy (correct ingredients). ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Station Navigation**: Bottom-screen UI buttons (Order, Grill, Build) large enough for thumbs (min 60px height) to switch camera views. * **Touch Interactions**: * **Grill**: Tap to flip. Long-press and drag to move meat to the finished tray. * **Build**: implement a "Follow Touch" mechanic where toppings spawn from the finger position when dragging over the taco. * **Orientation**: **Landscape Mode** only to accommodate the assembly line workflow. * **Feedback**: * **Haptic**: Trigger a short vibration (`navigator.vibrate(50)`) when the meat timer hits the perfect "Flip" or "Cooked" zone. * **Visual**: Highlight objects with a white outline shader when touched. Show floating text ("Perfect!", "Late!") above actions. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
