Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Hotfoot Baseball". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Use a **Low-Poly, Toon-Shaded** aesthetic similar to Nintendo "Mii" characters or Wii Sports. Colors should be highly saturated and vibrant (grass green, clay brown, bright blue sky) to ensure visibility outdoors on mobile screens. * **Character Models**: Characters should have simplified geometry (sphere heads, cylinder limbs, floating hands) with distinct team colors (e.g., Red vs. Blue). Faces can be simple 2D textures mapped onto the sphere heads. * **Environment**: A stylized baseball stadium. * *Field*: Flat geometry with high-contrast textures separating the infield dirt and outfield grass. * *Background*: Use a simple Skybox (gradient blue). The stadium stands should use **geometry instancing** or simple textured planes to represent the crowd to keep draw calls low. * *UI overlay*: A large, digital-style scoreboard in the center field (rendered in world space or UI layer). * **Mobile Optimization**: Limit the total scene polygon count for smooth 60fps on mobile. Use simple materials (MeshLambertMaterial or MeshToonMaterial) rather than expensive PBR materials. Avoid complex real-time shadows; use baked shadow blobs under characters. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: An energetic, arcade-style track featuring a **stadium organ** melody mixed with an upbeat drum loop. The tempo should increase slightly when bases are loaded to build tension. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * *Batting*: A crisp, exaggerated wooden "CRACK" for a solid hit, and a comical "WHOOSH" for a strikeout swing. * *UI/Interaction*: A high-pitched "ding" when tapping to run. * *Crowd*: A dynamic cheer loop that swells in volume when the ball is hit into the outfield. * *Feedback*: A heavy "thud" sound when the ball hits the catcher's mitt. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **State Machine**: 1. **Pitching Phase**: The AI pitcher winds up and throws. The ball travels at varying speeds/curves. 2. **Batting Phase**: The player must tap the screen at the precise moment. * *Timing*: Perfect timing = Home Run/Outfield Hit. Early/Late = Foul or Ground ball. Miss = Strike. 3. **Running Phase (Unique Mechanic)**: Once a hit occurs, the camera shifts slightly. The runner stops at a base. The player must **tap the runner** to command them to sprint to the next base. * *Risk/Reward*: If the player taps to run while the ball is being fielded to that base, they get tagged out. * **Scoring**: Traditional baseball rules simplified. 3 Outs change sides. Highest score after 3 Innings (shortened for mobile) wins. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Screen Orientation**: Landscape mode. * **Controls**: * **Batting**: **Full-screen tap**. The user can tap anywhere on the screen to swing the bat. This prevents "missed button" errors during high-focus moments. * **Running**: Raycasting is required. When a player is on base, render a **pulsating UI indicator** (e.g., a "GO!" bubble) above their head. The touch hit-box for the runner must be 2x larger than the visual model to accommodate fat-finger inputs. * **Camera**: * Start with a classic "Behind the Batter" view. * Smoothly interpolate (tween) the camera to a higher, wider angle after a hit so the player can see the field layout for base running decisions. * **Feedback**: * **Haptic**: Trigger a short vibration (using `navigator.vibrate`) on ball contact. * **Visual**: Use "Speed lines" or a white flash frame when a Home Run is hit. Display floating text ("HOMERUN!", "FOUL", "OUT") instantly on screen center. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
