Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Bloons Tower Defense 4 (3D Re-imagined)". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** Low-poly, cartoon aesthetics with "Toon Shading" (Cel Shading) to mimic the original Flash game's 2D vector art style but in 3D. Vibrant, saturated colors. * **Map Design:** A central "Grassland" map. * **Ground:** A vibrant green plane (Hex: #579c2e) with a distinct, curved dirt path (beige/brown) winding from the left screen edge to the right. * **Background:** Low-poly rolling hills and stylized pine trees in the distance to add depth, set against a bright blue sky (#6eb1ff) with floating white low-poly clouds. * **Characters (Towers):** Simplified geometric representations of the "Monkey" towers to keep poly-count low for mobile. * *Dart Monkey:* Brown capsule body with a beige face area. * *Tack Shooter:* A pink/silver octagon prism. * *Bomb Tower:* A black cannon shape. * **Enemies (Bloons):** Floating spheres. Colors indicate health/speed layers (Red -> Blue -> Green -> Yellow). * **Performance:** Use `THREE.InstancedMesh` for the Bloons and Projectiles to handle hundreds of entities on screen without dropping FPS on mobile devices. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A looping, upbeat, tropical-themed track featuring marimbas, steel drums, and a light percussion beat (reminiscent of the classic Flash soundtrack). * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * *Pop:* A satisfying, high-pitched rubber snapping sound (crucial for feedback). * *Shoot:* A quick "whoosh" or "thwip" for darts; a "boom" for cannons. * *Placement:* A "plop" or "thud" sound when a tower is placed on the grass. * *Error:* A buzz sound when trying to place a tower on the path or without enough money. * *UI:* A subtle click/tap sound for buttons. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic:** Waves of Bloons spawn at the start of the path and travel along waypoints to the end. * **Tower Logic:** * Players spend "Cash" to place towers on valid green areas (not on the path). * Towers automatically aim at the lead Bloon within their specific radius (Range). * Projectiles must physically collide with Bloons (or use distance checks) to register a hit. * **Bloon Behavior:** When a Bloon is hit, it "pops" (plays effect) and downgrades to the next lower layer (e.g., Blue becomes Red) or is destroyed if it is Red. * **Economy:** * Start with specific Lives (e.g., 100) and Cash (e.g., $650). * Earn $1 per layer popped. * Lose lives equal to the remaining layers of any Bloon that reaches the end of the path. * **Win/Loss:** Game Over if Lives reach 0. Win/Stage Clear after surviving all defined rounds (e.g., Round 1 to 50). ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **View:** Isometric projection using `THREE.OrthographicCamera` to prevent perspective distortion and make judging distances easier on small screens. * **Tower Placement (Drag & Drop):** * A scrollable **Bottom UI Bar** containing tower icons. * **Interaction:** The player presses and holds a tower icon, drags it onto the field. A semi-transparent "ghost" model shows the position. * **Range Indicator:** While dragging, display a white ring around the tower indicating its attack range. * **Valid/Invalid State:** The ring turns Red if hovering over the path/obstacles, Green if valid. * **Selection:** Tapping an existing tower selects it, showing its range ring and an "Upgrade/Sell" menu button floating above it. * **Game Speed:** A "Fast Forward" toggle button in the top corner (2x speed). * **UI Scaling:** Ensure all buttons (Play, Pause, Tower Icons) are at least 44x44 pixels equivalent to accommodate touch targets. * **Haptic Feedback:** Trigger a short vibration (using `navigator.vibrate`) when a Bloon leaks (losing a life) or when a tower is successfully placed. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
