MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Warfare 1917: Mobile Trench Command**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Create a gritty, atmospheric World War I aesthetic using a muted color palette (muddy browns, olive greens, slate greys, and washed-out sky blues). The rendering should aim for a "stylized realism" suitable for mobile, similar to low-poly dioramas but with gritty textures. * **Scene Layout**: * **Perspective**: A fixed side-scrolling view (2.5D) where the camera looks slightly down onto the battlefield. The player's base is on the left, the enemy on the right. * **Terrain**: Three distinct "lanes" of depth (foreground, mid-ground, background) to give a parallax effect. The ground must feature trenches (cover points), craters, mud puddles, and barbed wire obstacles. * **Background**: A hazy, war-torn horizon with silhouettes of distant ruins and smoke plumes. * **Units**: * **Infantry**: Simple, distinct low-poly humanoid figures. Differentiate classes by color accents or weapon silhouettes (e.g., Riflemen = thin, Assault = bulky, Officers = distinct hat). * **Vehicles**: A stylized British Mark IV tank (rhomboid shape) as a special unit. * **Effects**: Simple particle systems for muzzle flashes, explosions (orange/grey smoke), and dirt kicked up by mortar shells. * **Optimization**: Use instanced mesh rendering for the soldiers to maintain high frame rates on mobile devices. Limit texture sizes to 1024x1024. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A solemn, orchestral military track. Low brass and snare drums, building tension but not overly fast-paced. It should loop seamlessly. * **SFX**: * **UI**: Metallic "clinks" for button presses, a paper-shuffling sound for menu transitions. * **Combat**: Distinct sounds for different weapons (high-pitched *crack* for rifles, rapid *thud-thud-thud* for machine guns, heavy *boom* for mortars/artillery). * **Ambience**: Distant wind howling, faint rumbling of artillery in the distance, and the occasional whistle blowing. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic**: A tug-of-war strategy game. * **Resource**: "Cooldowns" or "Command Points" accumulate over time. * **Deployment**: Player taps unit icons to spawn them at the left edge. Units automatically move right towards the enemy trench. * **Trench Warfare**: Units stop at empty trenches to take cover (gaining defense bonuses). They only advance to the next trench when the current trench is "overfilled" or the player commands a "Charge". * **Victory Condition**: Successfully escort a specific number of troops to the far right edge of the screen (breaking the enemy line) OR deplete the enemy's morale bar (which drops when their units die). * **Defeat Condition**: Enemy troops breach the player's left edge or player morale reaches zero. * **Classes**: * *Riflemen*: Basic range, medium damage. * *Assault*: Short range, high damage, throws grenades. * *Mortar*: Stationary, fires indirect high-explosive shells. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation**: **Landscape Mode** is mandatory for the wide battlefield view. * **UI/HUD**: * **Bottom Bar**: A large, touch-friendly "Unit Deployment Bar" at the bottom of the screen. Each icon should be at least 60x60 pixels with distinct cooldown overlays. * **Top Bar**: Shows "Morale" bars for Player (Green/Blue) and Enemy (Red). * **Ability Buttons**: Separate, larger buttons on the bottom-right for special abilities like "Mortar Strike" or "Gas Attack" (with cooldowns). * **Interactions**: * **Tap**: Select unit type to deploy. * **Swipe Right**: A global gesture to command all entrenched units to "Charge" to the next cover. * **Tap World**: If a special ability (like Mortar Strike) is selected, tapping the battlefield targets that area. * **Feedback**: * **Haptic**: Short vibration when a unit is ready to deploy or when the player takes damage. * **Visual**: Buttons flash white when pressed. Damage numbers pop up briefly over units. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.

Core Features

Authentic WWI Combat Experience

Experience historically-inspired trench warfare with realistic unit types including riflemen, assault troopers, and mortar specialists. Each unit serves a specific tactical purpose, requiring careful consideration of when and where to deploy them for maximum effectiveness.

Strategic Unit Management

Success depends on coordinating different troop types rather than relying on a single unit. Combine riflemen for sustained fire, assault troopers for breakthrough attacks, and mortar teams for area bombardment. The game rewards tactical thinking and punishes reckless deployment.

Progressive Upgrade System

Before each battle, invest in unit upgrades that enhance your forces' capabilities. These improvements carry forward through the campaign, allowing you to build increasingly powerful armies as you progress through the war.

Special Abilities and Tactics

Custom Battle Mode

Beyond the main campaign, engage in custom battles that let you experiment with different strategies and unit compositions without campaign restrictions.

Gameplay Mechanics

Trench Advancement System

Your troops will only advance when you've concentrated sufficient forces in one location. This unique mechanic emphasizes the importance of massing troops for breakthrough attacks while maintaining defensive positions along other sectors of the front.

Pressure and Momentum

Maintain constant pressure on enemy positions to prevent them from regrouping. The game rewards aggressive players who can sustain offensive operations while protecting their own trenches from counterattacks.
