MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Stick Defenders**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: A stylized "2.5D" aesthetic using Low-Poly 3D models to mimic the flat vector look of the screenshot. Use a vibrant color palette: bright yellow/orange sunburst background (skybox or plane), stark black stickman figures, and gray/metallic weapon models. * **Model Details**: * **Stickmen**: Constructed using simple `THREE.CapsuleGeometry` or cylinders/spheres. They should have distinct white eyes. * **Weapons**: As the stickmen "level up" via merging, their weapon model should change (e.g., Pistol -> SMG -> AK47 -> Sniper). * **The Base**: A fortified wall or gear-shaped platform at the bottom of the screen containing a grid (e.g., 2x3 slots) for placing units. * **Performance Optimization**: * Use `THREE.InstancedMesh` for rendering the horde of enemies and projectiles to maintain 60 FPS on mobile devices. * Use simple Gouraud shading or `MeshLambertMaterial` to reduce GPU load. Avoid expensive real-time shadows; use baked shadow blobs under characters. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: An energetic, looping "Military March" or "Arcade Rock" track with a driving drum beat to keep the pace high. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Merge**: A satisfying "Pop" or "Ding" sound combined with a rising pitch when units combine. * **Shooting**: distinct audio for different weapon tiers (light 'pew' for pistols, heavy 'rat-a-tat' for machine guns). * **Impact**: A dull thud or squish sound when enemies are hit. * **UI**: Crisp clicks for buttons; a buzzer sound for "insufficient funds". ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic**: A **Merge Defense** system. * **Buying**: Player spends currency to spawn a Level 1 Stickman into an empty grid slot. * **Merging**: Dragging a Level X Stickman onto another Level X Stickman creates one Level X+1 Stickman with higher damage and fire rate. * **Combat Logic**: * Stickmen automatically detect the nearest enemy within range and fire projectiles. * Enemies spawn from the top of the screen in waves and move downward toward the wall. * **Economy**: Killing enemies yields gold. Gold is used to buy more units. * **Win/Loss**: The game is an endless wave survival. If enemies reach the wall, the wall takes damage. If wall HP hits 0, Game Over. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation**: **Portrait Mode** (Vertical) is required for best one-handed mobile play. * **Touch Controls**: * Implement a robust **Raycasting system** for Touch Events (`touchstart`, `touchmove`, `touchend`). * **Drag & Drop**: When a player touches a unit, it should lift slightly (y-axis offset) and follow the finger. A visual "ghost" or highlight should appear on the grid slot underneath the finger to indicate valid drop zones. * **UI Layout**: * "Buy Unit" button must be large (minimum 44x44px hit area) and placed at the bottom center for easy thumb access. * Score and Gold display at the top header (safe from notch area). * **Feedback**: * **Haptics**: Trigger `navigator.vibrate(50)` on a successful merge. * **Visuals**: floating damage numbers when enemies are hit; particle explosion when enemies die. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
