Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Frontline Defense". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Low-poly "Toy Soldier" Military aesthetic. The game should look like a tactical diorama played on a table. Use a matte finish for materials to reduce glare on mobile screens. * **Color Palette**: Military camouflage tones—Forest Green, Earth Brown, Khaki, and Gunmetal Grey. Use bright Orange or Red for enemy health bars and critical UI elements to ensure visibility against the camo background. * **Map Design**: A fixed grid-based terrain containing a clearly defined, winding dirt path (the "Frontline") where enemies travel. The surrounding area is buildable grass tiles. * *Decor:* Add low-poly trees, sandbags, and tank traps as non-functional decorative obstacles. * **Units (Towers)**: * *Machine Gun Post*: Small, fast rotation, low damage (Green accents). * *Heavy Cannon*: Large, slow rotation, splash damage (Grey/Black). * *Rocket Battery*: Long-range, slow fire rate (Camo pattern). * **Enemies**: Simple geometric representations of military units: * *Infantry*: Small spheres or capsules (Fast, low HP). * *Jeeps*: Rectangular blocks (Medium speed, Medium HP). * *Tanks*: Large blocks with a turret (Slow, High HP, High Armor). * **Mobile Optimization**: Use InstancedMesh for projectiles and enemy units to handle large waves without FPS drops. Use simple shadow blobs instead of expensive dynamic shadows. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A loopable military march featuring snare drums, brass sections, and low strings. It should feel strategic and tense but not overwhelming. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * *UI*: Metallic clicks for selecting towers; a "digital buzzer" sound for invalid placement/insufficient funds. * *Combat*: Distinct sounds for different towers (rapid "rat-tat-tat" for machine guns, heavy "thud" for cannons). * *Events*: A siren alert when a new wave starts. An explosion sound when enemies die. * **Spatial Audio**: Simple panning based on where the explosion occurs relative to the camera center (optional, but adds immersion). ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanics**: * **Wave System**: Enemies spawn at a "Start Point" and traverse a waypoint-based path to the "End Point." * **Economy**: Player starts with limited funds ($100). Killing enemies grants cash ($5-$50 depending on enemy type). * **Defense**: Player selects towers from a menu and places them on empty grid tiles. Towers automatically track and fire at the nearest enemy within range. * **Win/Loss Condition**: * **Lives**: Player starts with 20 Lives. Each enemy reaching the end deducts 1 Life (Tanks deduct 5). * **Loss**: Lives reach 0. * **Win**: Survive all predefined waves (e.g., 5 waves). ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation**: **Landscape Mode** (Essential for the wide view of the battlefield). * **Touch Controls**: * **Camera**: Fixed Isometric view (45 degrees). Allow single-finger drag to pan the map slightly, two-finger pinch to zoom. * **Building Mechanism**: Use a "Select then Place" workflow to prevent misclicks. 1. Tap a tower icon in the UI HUD. 2. Valid grid tiles light up (Green). Invalid tiles (path/obstacles) light up (Red). 3. Tap a grid tile to confirm placement. * **Cancel**: Add a distinct "X" or "Cancel" button on screen (replacing the 'C' keyboard shortcut). * **UI Layout**: * **Tower Dock**: A horizontal scrollable bar at the **bottom center** of the screen (Thumb-accessible zone). Icons must be at least 44x44px. * **Info Panel**: Top-left showing Money ($), Lives (?), and Wave Number. * **Game Speed**: A toggle button (1x / 2x speed) in the top-right corner. * **Feedback**: * **Haptic**: Trigger a light vibration (using `navigator.vibrate`) when a tower is successfully placed or when the base takes damage. * **Visual**: Floating damage numbers (billboarding text) appearing over enemies when hit. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
