Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Ludo Hero". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Create a vibrant, semi-realistic 3D aesthetic similar to high-quality mobile board games. The style should be "Glossy Cartoon." * **The Board**: A standard Ludo board (cross-shaped) placed on a stylized wooden table or a radial blue background (matching the promo art). The board must clearly define the four distinct home bases (Red, Green, Yellow, Blue), the central "Home" triangle, and the movement track. * **Special Markings**: Specific tiles must feature a "Star" texture to indicate Safe Zones (protected squares), as per the game rules. * **Game Pieces (Tokens)**: Low-poly but smooth 3D pawns (resembling traditional "Halma" pawns or stylized hero avatars). Each player gets 4 tokens of their respective color with a slightly glossy material (MeshStandardMaterial). * **The Die**: A 3D white cube with black pips (1-6). It needs to be a physical object that can tumble, not just a 2D sprite. * **Optimization**: Use a single directional light with soft shadows and an ambient light. Geometry should be simple primitives where possible to maintain 60 FPS on mobile browsers. Use texture atlases if possible to reduce draw calls. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: An upbeat, casual, and looping track. Style: "Happy Strategy" featuring light marimbas, pizzicato strings, and a soft drum beat to keep the energy high but not distracting. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * *Dice Roll*: A realistic rattling sound followed by a "clack" when hitting the board. * *Movement*: A "pop" or "hop" sound for each step a token takes. * *Capture/Kill*: A comical "boing" or "slide whistle" downward sound when a piece is sent back to start. * *Safe Zone*: A shielding "chime" sound when landing on a Star. * *Win/Home*: A celebratory fanfare when a piece reaches the center. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Turn-Based Logic**: Implement a cycle for 2-4 players (Human vs. CPU or Human vs. Human on the same device). * **The Roll**: Player taps to roll the die. A logic check is required: * If the result is **6**, the player can move a token out of the base OR move an existing token. Rolling a 6 grants an extra roll. * If not 6 and no pieces are out, turn passes. * **Movement**: Tokens move clockwise along the fixed path. * **Collision Rules**: * *Capture*: Landing on an opponent's token (outside a Safe Zone) sends it back to its Base. * *Safe Zones*: Landing on a Star tile means the token cannot be captured. * **Victory Condition**: The first player to navigate all 4 tokens around the board and into the center "Home" triangle wins. The code must handle the "exact roll" requirement to enter the final home square. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Camera**: Use a fixed PerspectiveCamera set to a high angle (top-down or slightly isometric, approx 60 degrees) to show the entire board without needing to scroll. * **Input**: * **Dice Interaction**: A large, clearly visible UI button (or the 3D die itself) that can be tapped anywhere in the bottom right corner to roll. * **Token Selection**: Use Raycaster for touch detection. When a player rolls, valid tokens should visually pulse or highlight. Tapping a valid token triggers the move. * **Responsiveness**: The canvas must resize automatically to fit both Portrait and Landscape modes. UI elements (score, dice button) must anchor to screen edges using HTML/CSS overlays on top of the Three.js canvas. * **Feedback**: * *Haptic*: Trigger `navigator.vibrate(50)` when the die hits the board and when a piece is captured. * *Visual*: Show a movement path preview (dots or highlighted tiles) when a token is selected. Floating text (+1, Captures!) should appear for key events. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
