Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Ultimate Noughts & Crosses". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** A sleek, modern, dark-themed aesthetic (Cyberpunk/Neon minimalist). Background should be a deep matte charcoal or dark grey (`#1a1a1a`) to contrast with bright game pieces. * **Board Structure:** A "Recursive" grid layout. Create one large 3x3 grid where each cell contains a smaller 3x3 "mini-board". * **Grid Lines:** Use glowing emissive lines. Thick lines for the main 3x3 divider, thinner lines for the internal mini-grids. * **Game Pieces:** * **Player X:** Low-poly 3D "X" shapes with a bright **Neon Red** emissive material. * **Player O:** Low-poly 3D Torus (Ring) shapes with a bright **Neon Blue** emissive material. * **Markers:** When a mini-board is won, place a large translucent X or O overlaying that entire section. * **Effects:** * **Particle Burst:** Simple particle explosion when a piece is placed or a board is won. * **Highlighting:** The specific mini-board where the player is *forced* to play next must pulse or glow (Gold/Yellow) to indicate the active zone. * **Camera:** Isometric or top-down perspective (OrthoCamera preferred for board clarity), fixed rotation, focused on the center. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A chill, low-tempo "Thinking/Strategy" electronic track. Minimalist synth bass and ambient pads. * **SFX:** * **Placement:** A satisfying "Click" or "Snap" sound (wooden or plastic texture). * **Error:** A dull "Thud" or buzzer if clicking an invalid zone. * **Mini-Win:** A harmonious chord when winning a small grid. * **Game Win:** An energetic fanfare with rising pitch. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic (Ultimate Rules):** 1. The game consists of 9 mini-boards arranged in a 3x3 format. 2. **The Constraint Rule:** If Player A places a mark in the *top-right* cell of a *mini-board*, Player B acts next, but *must* play in the *top-right mini-board* of the global grid. 3. **Free Choice:** If the target mini-board is already won or full, the player can choose *any* open cell on the entire board. * **Win Condition:** * Win a mini-board by getting 3 in a row (standard rules). * Win the Game by winning 3 mini-boards in a row (conceptually treating won mini-boards as giant X's or O's). * **Modes:** * **PvP:** Local pass-and-play. * **PvE:** Simple AI that plays random moves (Easy) or blocks winning moves (Hard). ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Touch Input:** Use `Raycaster` for precision touch detection. * Tap to place a piece. * Prevent placement if the camera is moving or during animation. * **Visual Feedback:** * When a user touches a valid cell, highlight it slightly before release (hover state on touch-down). * **Haptic Feedback:** Trigger `navigator.vibrate(20)` on successful move placement. * **UI Layout:** * **Top Bar:** Turn Indicator ("X's Turn" / "O's Turn") with background color matching the current player. * **Bottom Bar:** "Restart" and "Mode Toggle" (PvP/AI) buttons. * **Responsiveness:** Ensure the board scales to fit width (portrait) or height (landscape) with safe margins. UI buttons must be at least 44x44px for touch accessibility. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
