The prompt that built Besiege Earth
Prompt28 lines · EN
Output EXACTLY ONE complete HTML file. No markdown fences. No explanation before or after the HTML.
The file must run in Chrome with no build step.
Tech stack (required):
- Three.js r170+ from http://cdn.jsdelivr.net
- WebGLRenderer only (NOT WebGPU)
- OrbitControls: orbit a planet at origin; min/max distance clamped
Scene: "Besiege Earth"
- Procedural LOW-POLY planet at origin:
• Build from icosahedron or cube-sphere (subdivided cube inflated to sphere)
• Displace vertices with layered simplex/noise for continents and mountains
• Color by height: deep ocean blue, green lowlands, brown peaks, white ice caps
• Flat shading (MeshFlatMaterial or computed flat normals) for Besiege-like look
- Thin atmosphere: slightly larger transparent sphere, fresnel/rim glow on edges
- Slow cloud shell: second transparent layer or particle ring, subtle drift
- Surface prop: one medieval SIEGE CATAPULT built from box/cylinder primitives
(wood brown + metal gray), sitting on land near equator, correctly oriented
to planet surface normal (not floating, not buried)
- Lighting: warm sun directional + cool ambient; soft gradient sky background
- UI overlay: title "Besiege Earth", subtitle with controls hint
- Animation loop: planet rotates slowly (~0.05 rad/s); optional catapult arm sway
- Responsive full-viewport canvas
- Graceful error message if WebGL unavailable
Constraints:
- All geometry procedural; no external images or models
- Keep total file under 900 lines if possible
One-shot, no edits: a procedural low-poly planet with atmosphere, drifting clouds and a medieval catapult seated on the surface normal. Three.js, single self-contained HTML file, no build step.
