Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Retro Bowl 3D**" (A voxel-based adaptation of the 8-bit classic). Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** Transform the 2D pixel art source into a **Voxel/Blocky 3D aesthetic** (similar to *Crossy Road* or *Minecraft*). Use simple `THREE.BoxGeometry` to construct players and the ball to maintain the "8-bit" silhouette. * **Color Palette:** Strictly adhere to the retro palette: Field Green (#4B8B3B), Jersey Orange (#E36C09), Bright White (#FFFFFF), and Skin Tone (#E0AC69). * **Field Generation:** A long rectangular plane representing the football field with white yard lines drawn every 10 units. Add simple "Endzones" at both ends. * **Camera:** Use a **PerspectiveCamera** positioned high on the side (Z-axis offset), looking down at a 45-degree angle, tracking the active player smoothly (Lerp movement) along the X-axis. * **Performance:** Use **InstancedMesh** for any crowd elements or repeated environmental props to ensure 60FPS on mobile devices. Use basic `MeshLambertMaterial` for performant lighting. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A looping, high-energy **8-bit Chiptune track** (NES/Arcade style) that plays during the drive. * **SFX:** * *Throw:* A rising 8-bit "whoosh" sound. * *Catch:* A high-pitched "ding" or "coin" sound. * *Tackle:* A low-frequency crushed noise/thud. * *Crowd:* White noise that increases in volume as the player nears the endzone. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Phase 1: The Pass (QB Mode):** The game starts with the Quarterback holding the ball. Time slows down slightly. The player must aim a parabolic trajectory to a moving Receiver bot running downfield. * **Phase 2: The Run (Receiver Mode):** Once the ball is caught, the camera snaps to the Receiver. The player runs automatically to the right (positive X). * **Obstacles:** Enemy defenders (red voxels) spawn and move toward the player. * **Win Condition:** Reach the Endzone (Touchdown) to score 6 points. * **Fail Condition:** Being "tackled" (collision with a red voxel) or the ball hitting the ground (incomplete pass). ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Screen Orientation:** **Landscape Mode** is mandatory for the wide field view. * **Passing Control:** Implement a **"Drag-to-Aim, Release-to-Throw"** mechanic. * Touch & Drag on screen to calculate the throw vector. * Render a **dotted trajectory line** (`THREE.LineLoop`) visually showing where the ball will land. * **Running Control (Gestures):** * **Swipe Up:** Player abruptly shifts one "lane" into the background (negative Z). * **Swipe Down:** Player abruptly shifts one "lane" into the foreground (positive Z). * **Swipe Right:** A short "Dive" burst of speed (extra X velocity) with a cooldown. * **Haptic Feedback:** Trigger `navigator.vibrate(200)` upon a successful tackle or touchdown for tactile impact. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
