Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Pixel Fishing". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** 2.5D aesthetic using 2D Pixel Art sprites placed in a 3D world. Textures must use `THREE.NearestFilter` to preserve the crisp, chunky pixel look seen in the screenshot (no blurring). * **Camera:** Orthographic camera, positioned for a side-scrolling view (Cross-section of the ocean), locked to follow the hook's vertical descent/ascent. * **Environment Layers:** * **Surface:** A simple pixel art boat bobbing on the water surface with a sky background. * **Underwater:** A vertical gradient background plane ranging from cyan (top) to dark navy (bottom) to represent depth. * **Decorations:** Animated bubble sprites rising slowly; seaweed sprites on the ocean floor at max depth. * **Key Assets:** * **The Hook:** A simple grey pixel anchor/hook shape. * **The Line:** A white `THREE.Line` that dynamically connects the rod tip (surface) to the hook. * **Fish:** Various species (Goldfish like the screenshot, Blue Tang, Shark) with different point values and swim speeds. They move horizontally back and forth at varying depths. * **Mobile Optimization:** Use `InstancedMesh` for bubbles or schools of fish if count is high. Limit dynamic lights; use baked lighting or unlit materials (`MeshBasicMaterial`) to maintain high FPS on mobile. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A relaxing, sunny, looping 8-bit Chiptune track. It should feel breezy and casual. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Cast:** A retro "swish" noise. * **Water Entry:** A distinct "bloop" or splash sound. * **Hooking a Fish:** A high-pitched arcade "ding" or "crunch". * **Reeling:** A mechanical clicking/ratcheting sound (increasing pitch as the hook nears the surface). * **UI:** Soft "clicks" for menu buttons. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Phase 1: Casting & Descent:** The player taps "Cast". The hook descends automatically. The player drags left/right to **avoid** fish on the way down to reach maximum depth (determined by 'Line Length' upgrade). * **Phase 2: The Catch:** Once max depth is reached (or the player taps to stop), the hook starts reeling up automatically. The player now drags left/right to **collide** with fish to catch them. * **Phase 3: Collection:** When the hook surfaces, all caught fish fly into the air and are converted into coins via floating text popping up (e.g., "+$50"). * **Shop System:** Between casts, a simple UI allows players to spend coins on: * **Line Length:** Go deeper (find more valuable fish). * **Bucket Size:** Catch more fish at once. * **Earnings:** Multiplier for fish value. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Screen Orientation:** **Portrait Mode** (Vertical) is required to best display the depth of the ocean. * **Controls:** * **Input:** Invisible touch layer over the entire screen. * **Action:** 1-to-1 horizontal finger dragging moves the hook left and right. * **UI Layout:** * **Main Menu:** Large "CAST" button (at least 88px height) located at the bottom center for easy thumb access. * **Shop/Upgrade Menu:** Large cards or buttons with clear icons (Hook, Line, Bait). * **Feedback:** * **Haptic:** Trigger `navigator.vibrate(50)` when a fish is caught. * **Visual:** Screen shake (slight camera jitter) when a large fish is hooked. The hook sprite should flash white briefly upon collision. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
