Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Retro Gridiron 3D**" (inspired by Retro Bowl). Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Use a **Voxel / Low-poly 3D aesthetic** to mimic the 8-bit retro look of the screenshot but in a 3D space (similar to *Crossy Road* graphics). * **Player Models**: Create characters using simple combinations of `THREE.BoxGeometry`. * **Player Team**: Orange jerseys, white pants, white helmets (based on the screenshot). * **Enemy Team**: Blue jerseys, grey pants. * **Detail**: Do not use texture maps; use vertex colors or basic Materials. * **Environment**: * **The Field**: A large green plane with lighter/darker green stripes representing yard lines. White rectangles for markings. * **Goal Posts**: Yellow "H" shaped structures at the ends of the field. * **Stadium**: Simple blocky bleachers on the sides to frame the play area. * **Camera**: Use an **OrthographicCamera** positioned at a side-angle (isometric view) to maintain the retro 2D feel while using 3D assets. The camera must follow the active player (QB first, then the Receiver). * **Performance**: Use `THREE.InstancedMesh` for the crowd or repeating environmental elements to ensure 60FPS on mobile devices. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A high-tempo, looping **8-bit Chiptune** track reminiscent of NES sports games. * **Sound Effects (Synthesized)**: * **Throw**: A rising pitch "whistle" or "woosh" sound. * **Catch**: A sharp 8-bit "ding" or "crunch". * **Tackle/Collision**: A low-frequency noise/thud. * **Touchdown**: A short triumphant fanfare melody. * **Crowd**: White noise that increases in volume when close to the end zone. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Phase 1: The Snap & Aim (bullet time)**: * Game starts with the Quarterback (QB) holding the ball. * Time moves slowly. The player aims the throw trajectory. * **Phase 2: The Pass**: * Upon release, the ball travels in a parabolic arc based on the aim. * The Receiver runs a pre-defined route (e.g., a slant or straight line). * **Phase 3: The Run**: * If the ball intersects the Receiver, the camera locks onto the Receiver. * The player now controls the Receiver running towards the end zone. * Enemy defenders move towards the player to tackle (collision detection). * **Win/Loss Condition**: * **Win**: Reach the end zone (Touchdown). * **Loss**: Ball hits the ground (Incomplete) or Receiver is tackled by an enemy. * Show a simple "Touchdown!" or "Turnover!" overlay UI with a "Replay" button. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Interaction Model**: Purely Touch-based (Mouse events mapped to Touch). * **Passing Control (Phase 1)**: * **Drag & Release**: The user touches the screen and drags backward to aim (like a slingshot). * **Visual Guide**: Draw a dotted line (using points) showing the predicted trajectory of the ball while dragging. * **Release**: Releasing the finger throws the ball. * **Running Control (Phase 3)**: * **Swipe Up/Down**: When the receiver has the ball, swiping up or down on the screen makes the character "Juke" (quick lane change) to dodge defenders. * **Swipe Forward**: A quick swipe right (forward) makes the player "Dive" for extra distance (speeds up but creates a cooldown). * **Orientation**: **Landscape Mode** is preferred for the field of view. * **UI Layout**: * Keep the screen clean. No on-screen D-pads. * Scoreboard in the top center (retro pixel font). * "Start/Retry" button should be large (at least 60px height) and centered. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
