Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Bloons Tower Defense 4 - 3D Reimagined**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** A stylized, low-poly 3D aesthetic that mimics the original Flash game's vector art style. Use a bright, high-saturation color palette (Kelly Green for grass, Sky Blue for background). Use `MeshToonMaterial` to give objects a cartoonish, flat-shaded look. * **Camera:** Fixed Orthographic Camera positioned at a high angle (top-down isometric view, approx 60 degrees) to ensure the entire map is visible on mobile screens without needing complex camera controls. * **Map Construction:** A flat green plane representing the field. The "Path" should be a distinct beige/dirt color mesh created using a curvy Bezier path (CatmullRomCurve3). * **Characters (Towers):** Abstracted low-poly representations of the classic towers to save performance: * *Dart Monkey:* Brown cylinder with a beige face patch. * *Tack Shooter:* Pink octagon with small spikes. * *Bomb Tower:* Black cannon shape. * **Enemies (Bloons):** Simple spheres floating slightly above the path. Colors determine health (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow). * **Mobile Optimization:** Limit scene polygon count. Use InstancedMesh for projectiles (darts/tacks) to maintain 60 FPS on mobile devices. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A lighthearted, looping, upbeat track with a "marching" tempo (snare drums and flutes), reminiscent of classic casual Flash games. * **SFX - Core:** A distinct, high-pitched "POP" sound (with slight pitch randomization) whenever a Bloon is hit. * **SFX - Combat:** A "whoosh" for dart throws, a dull "thud" for cannon fire, and a metallic "clink" for tack shooters. * **SFX - UI:** A "Cha-ching" cash register sound when purchasing upgrades or towers. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **The Layer System (Critical):** Implement the specific Bloons health logic: * *Red Bloon:* 1 Hit -> Destroyed. * *Blue Bloon:* 1 Hit -> Spawns 1 Red Bloon. * *Green Bloon:* 1 Hit -> Spawns 1 Blue Bloon. * *Yellow Bloon:* Moves 2x faster -> Spawns 1 Green Bloon upon hit. * **Economy:** Player starts with $650. Every "pop" grants $1. Buying towers costs money. * **Wave Logic:** Bloons spawn at the start of the path and travel to the end. If a Bloon reaches the end, subtract lives (Start with 200 Lives). If Lives <= 0, Game Over. * **Projectile Physics:** Darts travel in a straight line towards a target. Bombs have a blast radius (Area of Effect) upon impact. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation:** Force **Landscape Mode** logic for UI layout. * **Tower Placement (Drag & Drop):** * Create a "Tower Dock" UI at the bottom or right side of the screen with large icons (min 60x60px). * Interaction: User touches a tower icon -> a "ghost" model follows their finger (Raycasting on the floor plane). * **Visual Feedback:** Draw a semi-transparent white circle around the ghost tower to show its **Attack Range**. * **Validation:** If the ghost is over the path or another tower, turn the range circle RED (invalid placement). If valid, turn GREEN. Release finger to build. * **Selection:** Tapping an existing tower opens a floating context menu to "Sell" or "Upgrade". * **Touch Feedback:** Add a subtle `navigator.vibrate(10)` (if supported) when a tower is successfully placed or a wave starts. Use particle explosions (confetti style) when Bloons pop to give visual satisfaction. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
