Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Dunkers**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** Create a wacky, "flat-shaded 3D" aesthetic that mimics the original vector art style. Characters should be blocky but have fluid, ragdoll-like physics. The background should be a vibrant, solid color (e.g., sky blue #4da6ff) to keep the focus on the action. * **Characters:** Implement two main character models (Player 1 and AI/Player 2). * *Player Character (Pinko):* A blocky pink-haired character with long, flailing arms. The arms are crucial for the "swinging" mechanic. * *Opponent:* A similar blocky character with a different color scheme (e.g., "Froggo" green). * **Environment:** A simple basketball court floor (hardwood texture) and two basketball hoops on opposite sides. The hoops should have physics-enabled backboards and rims. * **Physics Objects:** The basketball itself must be a physics object capable of high bounciness. The character's arms should have hinge joints to simulate the "swinging" motion essential to the gameplay. * **Mobile Optimization:** Use low-poly meshes with unlit or basic materials (MeshBasicMaterial or MeshLambertMaterial) to ensure 60fps performance on mobile devices. Avoid expensive shadows; use simple blob shadows beneath characters. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** An energetic, arcade-style chiptune or upbeat funk loop that matches the chaotic energy of the physics. It should be catchy but not annoying on a loop. * **SFX:** * *Jump/Movement:* A comical "whoosh" or spring sound when arms swing. * *Ball Bounce:* A distinct rubbery thud. * *Dunk/Score:* An exaggerated crowd cheer or a loud buzzer noise combined with a satisfying "swish" sound. * *Steal/Hit:* A slapstick impact sound when characters collide or steal the ball. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic:** This is a physics-based basketball game where players control the character's *arms* to move. * *Movement:* Players don't walk; they swing their arms. Hitting the ground with arms propels the character into the air (physics impulse). * *Dunking:* The goal is to grab the ball and fling the character towards the opponent's hoop to dunk. * **Stealing:** If the opponent has the ball, swinging arms at them should knock the ball loose. * **Scoring:** First to a set number of points (e.g., 5) wins the match. * **Game Modes:** * *Arcade Mode:* 1v1 against an AI bot that gets progressively smarter/more aggressive. * *2-Player Local:* Split-screen or shared screen controls for two players on one device. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Control Scheme (Split Screen / Dual Input):** * *Left Side (Player 1):* Two large invisible touch zones. * *Tap/Hold Left Zone:* Swing arms backward (move left). * *Tap/Hold Right Zone:* Swing arms forward (move right/dunk). * *Right Side (Player 2 / CPU Control):* Mirrored controls for local multiplayer. * **Orientation:** **Landscape Mode** is mandatory to fit the basketball court and both hoops on one screen. * **UI Layout:** * Scoreboard at the top center (large, readable font). * "Restart" button in the corner, kept away from the active play area. * **Feedback:** * *Screen Shake:* Add a subtle camera shake (screen shake) effect when a slam dunk occurs to emphasize impact. * *Haptic Feedback:* Trigger a short vibration when the ball is stolen or a dunk is made (using the Navigator Vibrate API). Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
