Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Basketball Stars Arcade**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: High-saturation, 2.5D arcade cartoon style. Characters should be "Big Head" style caricatures (large expressive heads, small bodies, floating hands/shoes) similar to the reference image. * **Character Models**: * Use low-poly geometric shapes to approximate famous basketball players (e.g., beard, headband, jersey colors). * Separate meshes for Head, Torso, Hands, and Shoes to allow for independent animations (bobbing heads, spinning ball). * **Environment**: * **Court**: Polished wood floor texture with reflection/specularity maps to mimic an indoor stadium. Standard basketball court markings (three-point line, key, center circle). * **Background**: A 2D layered crowd backdrop or low-poly stadium seating with cheering spectators (can be simple instanced meshes or sprites for performance). * **Lighting**: Bright, studio-style directional lighting with soft shadows. Add a "rim light" effect on characters to make them pop against the background. * **Mobile Optimization**: Use `InstancedMesh` for crowd and particle effects. Limit texture sizes to 1024x1024. Implement object pooling for the basketball and particle effects (sweat, sparks). ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: Energetic, looped hip-hop/funk beat with heavy bass and brass hits to maintain a competitive arcade atmosphere. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **UI**: "Swoosh" sounds for menu transitions, metallic clicks for button presses. * **Gameplay**: Sneaker squeaks on wood (randomized pitch), ball bouncing (heavy thud), net swish (satisfying cloth sound), rim clank (metallic), and crowd cheers that swell when a goal is scored. * **Power-ups**: Digital/Sci-fi charging sounds when a "Super Shot" is ready. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic**: A 1v1 side-view basketball match. The player moves left/right and jumps to shoot or block. * **Controls Logic**: * **Offense**: Hold the shoot button to jump -> release at the peak of the jump for a "Perfect Shot" (high accuracy). Tapping makes the character pump fake. * **Defense**: Stand in front of the opponent to automatically "contest" the shot (lowering their accuracy). Press jump to block. Press dash to steal. * **Win Condition**: Score more points than the CPU within a 60-second timer. 2 points for regular shots, 3 points for long-range. * **Power-Up System**: A "momentum bar" fills up with successful plays. When full, the player can trigger a "Mega Dunk" (unstoppable animation). ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation**: Landscape mode locked. * **Touch Interface**: * **Left Thumb**: A virtual floating joystick or simple Left/Right arrows for horizontal movement. * **Right Thumb**: Three distinct action buttons (minimum 60px diameter): 1. **Shoot/Block** (Context sensitive: Shoot on offense, Block on defense). 2. **Dash/Steal** (Context sensitive). 3. **Super Move** (Glows when the momentum meter is full). * **Feedback**: * **Haptic**: Trigger vibration on successful steals, blocks, and dunks. * **Visual**: Screen shake on dunks. "Perfect!" or "Block!" text pop-ups near the player character upon successful actions. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
