Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Chicken Merge Defense 3D**". 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 (Cell Shading)** aesthetic to replicate the vibrant 2D cartoon style of the reference image in a 3D space. Bright, saturated colors (Red, Orange, Yellow). * **Characters (Chickens)**: Create "Rambo-style" chicken units. * **Level 1**: Basic white chicken with a red headband and a small pistol. * **Level 2**: Chicken with sunglasses and a machine gun. * **Level 3**: "Tank" chicken with a helmet and a minigun. * **Enemies**: Wolves or Foxes equipped with primitive armor or sci-fi jetpacks (to fit the "Gun Game" tag). * **Environment**: * **Merge Zone**: A 4x3 wooden grid in the back for spawning and merging units. * **Defense Line**: A row of sandbags in the front where active units are placed. * **Background**: A stylized farm/barnyard battlefield with explosions or smoke particles in the distance. * **Optimization**: Use simple geometry (box/sphere primitives) for placeholders if models aren't available, but apply distinct colors/textures. Implement simple object pooling for projectiles to maintain 60 FPS on mobile. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: An energetic, quirky "Military March" mixed with farmyard sounds (e.g., kazoos imitating trumpets, rhythmic clucking). * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Merge**: A satisfying "Pop" or "Squeak" sound accompanied by a particle burst. * **Gunfire**: Cartoonish "Pew-Pew" or rapid-fire sounds (not realistic/harsh). * **Enemy Hit**: Soft impact thuds. * **UI**: Clicking buttons should sound like a typewriter or a chicken pecking wood. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Spawn Phase**: Player taps a "Buy Chicken" button (consuming Gold) to spawn a Level 1 chicken in an empty slot in the *Merge Zone*. * **Merge Mechanic**: Drag one chicken onto another of the *same level* to merge them into a single unit of the next level (e.g., Lvl 1 + Lvl 1 = Lvl 2). * **Deployment**: Player drags prepared chickens from the *Merge Zone* to the *Defense Line*. Only chickens on the Defense Line can shoot. * **Combat**: Enemies spawn from the top/right of the screen and move toward the base. Chickens auto-target the nearest enemy within range. * **Economy**: Killing enemies yields Gold. * **Win/Loss**: * **Loss**: If enemies breach the Defense Line and reduce Base HP to 0. * **Win**: Survive the wave (timer based or kill count). ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Screen Orientation**: **Landscape** mode is preferred to show the width of the defense line clearly. * **Touch Interaction**: * Use a `Raycaster` to handle `touchstart`, `touchmove`, and `touchend` events. * **Drag & Drop**: When a unit is touched, lift it slightly (y-axis) and cast a shadow to indicate selection. * **Snap-to-Grid**: When released, the unit should mathematically snap to the nearest valid grid slot (Merge Zone or Defense Line). If the drop is invalid, return the unit to its original position. * **UI Layout**: * Large "Spawn/Buy" button in the bottom right corner (easy thumb reach). * Gold count and Wave info at the top center. * Ensure all buttons are at least 44x44px for hit-testing. * **Feedback**: * **Haptic Feedback**: Trigger a short vibration (`navigator.vibrate(50)`) when a merge is successful. * **Visual Feedback**: Highlight valid grid slots in green when dragging a unit over them. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
