Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Air Hockey Neon". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** Create a "Neon Arcade" aesthetic. Use a dark ambient background with a bright, glowing blue hockey table surface. * **Models:** * **The Table:** A rectangular `PlaneGeometry` with a cool blue color. Draw standard hockey markings (center line, center circle, goal creases) using white lines (rendered via textures or thin secondary planes). Add glowing neon borders (emissive materials) around the rink walls to simulate LED strips. * **The Mallets (Strikers):** `CylinderGeometry` with a slight handle protrusion. The Player's mallet should be Neon Yellow/Gold. The AI Opponent's mallet should be Neon Red. Both should have high emissive intensity. * **The Puck:** A flat, white `CylinderGeometry` that glows slightly. * **Effects:** Add a subtle "bloom" effect (using `UnrealBloomPass` if performance allows, or fake it with emissive textures) to enhance the neon look. * **Camera:** Use a **PerspectiveCamera** positioned directly above the table but slightly angled (tilted down) to give depth, ensuring the entire table fits within a vertical (portrait) mobile screen. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A loopable, energetic **Synthwave / Retrowave** track (upbeat electronic music) to match the Neon theme. * **SFX:** * **Impact:** A sharp plastic "Clack" sound when the mallet hits the puck or the puck hits the wall. * **Goal:** An arcade siren or a digital "Win" chime when a goal is scored. * **Background:** A low, constant hum (white noise) simulating the air table jets. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic:** 1v1 Air Hockey. The player controls the bottom mallet; the AI controls the top mallet. * **Physics:** Implement custom 2D circle-collision physics. The puck should bounce off walls and mallets with high restitution (bounciness). Friction should be very low to simulate the "air" surface. * **AI Behavior:** The AI opponent tracks the puck's X position but moves at a limited speed (to make it beatable). The AI should return to the center of its goal area when the puck is on the player's side. * **Rules:** * The puck starts in the center. * First to score **5 goals** wins the match. * Display a "You Win" or "Game Over" overlay upon match completion with a restart button. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation:** Designed for **Portrait Mode** (Vertical) to maximize the playing length of the table on phones. * **Touch Controls:** * Implement a **1:1 Touch-to-Movement** system. The player's mallet follows the user's finger/touch position on the screen. * **Constraints:** The player's mallet must be strictly confined to the **bottom half** of the table and inside the table walls. It cannot cross the center line. * **Smoothing:** Add slight lerp (interpolation) to the movement so the mallet doesn't jitter, but keep it responsive enough for fast reflex shots. * **UI:** * Scoreboard displayed clearly at the top or sides (e.g., "Player: 0 | CPU: 0") using a digital font style. * Ensure all UI buttons (Start, Restart) have a minimum touch target size (44px+) and provide visual feedback (highlight/scale) when pressed. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
