Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Strategy Defense 4: Mobile Tactician**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** Adopt a **Cel-Shaded / Low-Poly Toon** aesthetic to mimic the original 2008 Flash vector art style but in 3D. Use bold black outlines (Rim lighting or inverted hull method) on models. * **Camera Perspective:** Fixed **Isometric view** (angled top-down) oriented horizontally (Landscape mode) to show the battlefield from Player Base (Left) to Enemy Base (Right). * **Key Models:** * **Player Base:** A structure consisting of **3 distinct Towers** lined up vertically. Texture should be grey metal with team colors (Blue). * **Enemy Base:** Similar structure but mirrored (Red team). * **Units:** Low-poly soldiers (Infantry, Archers, Mages). Simple geometric shapes are acceptable if colored distinctly. * **Turrets:** Mounted on top of the 3 towers (mimicking the reference image: grey, dual-barrel styling). * **Environment:** A grid-based battlefield divided into **3 horizontal lanes**. The ground should be a simple textured terrain (grass or dirt) to ensure high contrast with units. * **Effects:** "Bloody" tag implies combat feedback—use stylized **red particle explosions** (cubes or simple sprites) upon unit death, not realistic gore. * **Mobile Optimization:** Use `InstancedMesh` for identical units (soldiers) to handle high counts. Limit dynamic lights; use baked ambient occlusion for the terrain. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** An energetic, looping **Orchestral Rock** track (typical of mid-2000s strategy games) that increases in tempo if the player's tower health drops below 30%. * **SFX:** * **UI:** Sharp metallic clicks for menu selection. * **Combat:** "Crunchy" impact sounds for melee, laser/projectile "pew" sounds for turrets. * **Unit Spawn:** A distinct "marching" or "deployment" sound when a unit is created. * **Base Damage:** A heavy alarm or deep thud when a tower is hit. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Objective:** Destroy the enemy's 3 towers before they destroy yours. * **Lane Mechanic:** The game plays on 3 horizontal lanes. Units travel in a straight line. If a unit reaches the enemy tower, they damage it. * **Spawning System:** * Player earns **Gold** passively over time and by killing enemies. * Player selects a Unit Type (costing Gold) and a Target Lane to spawn the unit. * **Combat Logic:** Rock-Paper-Scissors balance (e.g., Melee beats Ranged, Ranged beats Magic, Magic beats Melee). * **Turret Defense:** The player's towers have mounted turrets that automatically fire at enemies within range in their specific lane. * **Win/Loss:** Game Over if all 3 player towers reach 0 HP. Victory if all 3 enemy towers reach 0 HP. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation:** Force **Landscape Mode**. * **Lane Selection (Replacing Z/X/C keys):** * Create 3 large, transparent **touch zones** overlaid on the 3 lanes. Tapping a lane highlights it as the "Active Spawn Lane." * **Unit Deployment UI:** * Place a **Unit Dock** at the bottom of the screen (min-height 60px). * Unit icons must be at least 44x44px. * **Interaction:** Tap a Unit Icon -> Unit immediately spawns in the *currently selected lane*. * **Camera Control:** Allow horizontal panning (clamp within battlefield bounds) via single-finger drag, but keep zoom fixed to prevent performance issues. * **Feedback:** * **Haptic Feedback:** Trigger a short vibration (using `navigator.vibrate`) when a tower takes damage or a unit is spawned. * **Visual Cue:** Flash the screen borders red when base health is critical. Show floating damage numbers (billboarding text). Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
