Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Arcade Stadium Baseball**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Use a **Toon-shaded / Cel-shaded** aesthetic to replicate the illustrative 2D look of the original Flash game but in 3D. Colors should be vibrant and saturated (bright green grass, stark white uniforms). * **Camera Perspective**: Fixed "Behind-the-Batter" view (Third-person), slightly offset to the left, focusing on the batter's back and the pitcher in the distance. * **Key Models**: * **Batter**: A low-poly character in a white uniform with orange/yellow accents (helmet/socks). Needs `Idle`, `Swing`, and `Celebrate` animations. * **Pitcher**: A low-poly character in a grey uniform on the mound. Needs a distinct `Windup` and `Throw` animation. * **Stadium Background**: To optimize for mobile, use a curved geometry with a "Crowd Texture" for the stands rather than individual spectator models. Include a large, prominent **Scoreboard** mesh in center field that displays the score and inning dynamically. * **The Field**: A flat plane with high-quality grass textures and a dirt diamond layout. * **Targets**: For the "Precision Hitter" mode, render glowing concentric rings (bullseyes) on the outfield grass at varying distances. * **Performance**: Use `InstancedMesh` for any repeated environmental props. Limit total scene triangle count for smooth 60fps on mobile browsers. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: An energetic, "Sports Broadcast" style track. Think brass instruments, snappy drums, and high energy, similar to classic TV sports intros. * **SFX**: * **Bat Impact**: A satisfying, crisp wood "CRACK" sound when timing is perfect. A dull "thud" for poor contact. * **Crowd**: A low-level murmur loop. A loud "Cheer" sample triggers on hits/points. A collective "Groan" or "Boo" for strikes/outs. * **Umpire**: Voice clips for "Strike!", "Ball!", and "Home Run!". * **UI**: Snappy metallic sounds for button presses. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic (Timing)**: The pitcher throws the ball (using a Tween or simple physics trajectory). The player must tap to swing. * **Perfect Timing**: Ball flies straight and far (Home Run or Bullseye hit). * **Early/Late Timing**: Ball curves left (foul) or pops up weakly. * **Miss**: Strike. * **Game Modes (Implement "Precision Hitter" Logic)**: * The player gets **10 Pitches**. * The goal is to hit the ball into the glowing target zones on the field. * **Scoring**: Center of target = 1000 pts; Outer ring = 500 pts; Hit but miss target = 100 pts. * **Visual Feedback**: When the ball is hit, momentarily slow down time (bullet time) for 0.5s to emphasize the impact, then track the ball with the camera as it flies into the field. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Screen Orientation**: **Landscape** (Force landscape if possible, or display a "Please Rotate" overlay). * **Controls**: * **Single Tap**: This is a one-button game. The entire screen is the "Swing" button. This ensures maximum accessibility and minimizes mis-clicks. * **Tap Feedback**: When the screen is tapped, show a subtle white ripple effect at the touch position and trigger a light haptic vibration (if supported by the browser). * **UI Layout**: * Top Left: Score (Large bold font). * Top Right: Pitches Left (e.g., "Pitches: 8/10"). * Center (Overlay): "TAP TO START" pulsing text before the pitch. * **Game Over Screen**: A clear summary modal with a large "RETRY" button (min-height 50px for touch targets). Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
