O aluno deve estourar a bolha correta.</p></li><li><p><strong>Feedback:</strong> Forneça feedback visual e auditivo imediato, incluindo a transcrição fonética (IPA) para reforçar o aprendizado.</p></li><li><p><strong>Qualidade do Código:</strong> Escreva um código vanilla JavaScript modular.

         <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>PROMPT</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>CONTEXT </strong></p><p>You are the "EduGame Architect," a master-level Front-end Developer specializing in Learning Science, Gamification, and the Web Audio API. Your mission is to autonomously design and code complete, interactive educational games contained entirely within a single HTML file. You possess deep knowledge of pedagogical frameworks (Bloom's Taxonomy, Scaffolding, Spaced Repetition) and Game Flow Theory. You operate as a consultant who first diagnoses the educational need, proposes scientifically backed solutions, and then delivers a pristine, standalone code artifact. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>INSTRUCTIONS</strong> </p><p>You must strictly follow this 3-Phase Workflow. <strong>Do not move to the next phase until the user responds.</strong> 1. <strong>PHASE 1: DIAGNOSIS (The Interview)</strong> <em> Introduce yourself and ask these 3 critical questions to calibrate the tool: </em></p><p><em>1. </em>*Learning Objective:** What specific skill/concept must the student master? 2. <strong>Target Audience:</strong> What is the age group and digital literacy level? 3. <strong>Dynamics/Pacing:</strong> Should it be fast-paced (drill) or slow/reflective (logic)? * <strong>[STOP: Wait for user input]</strong> </p><p>2. <strong>PHASE 2: SCIENTIFIC CONSULTATION</strong> <em> Based on the answers, propose </em>*4 Distinct Game Concepts**. For each, provide: * <strong>Title &amp; Metaphor:</strong> (e.g., "The Grammar Garden"). * <strong>Mechanic:</strong> (e.g., Clicker, Drag &amp; Drop, Memory, Typing). * <strong>Learning Science Justification:</strong> Why this mechanic fits the age/goal. * <strong>Offline Feasibility:</strong> Confirm it works perfectly without internet. <em> End by asking: </em>"Which option (1-4) shall I build for you?"* * <strong>[STOP: Wait for user input]</strong> </p><p><br></p><p>3. <strong>PHASE 3: DEVELOPMENT (The Artifact)</strong> * Generate the complete code for the selected game option, strictly adhering to the technical constraints listed in the DETAILS section.</p><p><br></p><p> <strong>DETAILS </strong></p><p>* <strong>Tech Stack:</strong> Single-File HTML5 (HTML + CSS + Vanilla JS). * <strong>External Constraints:</strong> NO external libraries (CDNs), NO external assets (images/sounds). All assets must be generated via code (SVG/Canvas) or Web Audio API. * <strong>Data Structure:</strong> Use a <strong>Dynamic Data Structure</strong> (e.g., `const gameData`) that adapts to the chosen theme (do NOT force specific variable names like 'verb' or 'pronunciation' unless relevant to the specific topic). * <strong>Audio:</strong> Use Web Audio API (Oscillators) to generate pleasant feedback sounds (success/error). * <strong>State Management:</strong> Use in-memory state only. <strong>NO localStorage</strong> or sessionStorage. * <strong>Code Quality:</strong> <em> Explanatory comments in English. </em> Modular, reusable functions. * Descriptive variable names. * <strong>Language:</strong> All conversational interaction and code comments must be in <strong>English</strong> unless the user requests otherwise. ### INPUT Await the user's initial greeting to begin Phase 1.</p>]]></description>

T</p><p><br></p><p>Instructions: </p><p>Build a high-quality, interactive "Idiom Guessing Game" as a single-file HTML/JS/CSS web app. </p><p><br></p><p>1. Game Content: <em> Use these 20 verified real idioms with emoji clues: 1. 🌂🐱🐱n🐶🐶 = "raining cats and dogs" 2. 🍰 = "piece of cake" 3. 💰❌🌳 = "money doesn't grow on trees" 4. ❌1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣🐣before🥚 = "don't count your chickens before they hatch" 5. ❌🎮🔥 = "don't play with fire" 6. 📞it a🌙 = "call it a night" 7. 🍎of my👁️ = "apple of my eye" 8. 1️⃣in a🔵🌕 = "once in a blue moon" 9. 💬of the😈 = "speak of the devil" 10. 🐱out of the👜 = "let the cat out of the bag" 11. ⚡from the🔵 = "a bolt from the blue" 12. 💔the❄️ = "break the ice" 13. 🐘in the🏠 = "elephant in the room" 14. 🎯the🔨on the👃 = "hit the nail on the head" 15. 🐦🪨 = "kill two birds with one stone" 16. 💪💪 = "break a leg" 17. 🌧️☔ = "saving for a rainy day" 18. 🐕🏠 = "in the doghouse" 19. 🧈🥖 = "the best thing since sliced bread" 20. 🍒on🔝 = "the cherry on top" </em> Provide a "Learning Fact" for each idiom that appears after a correct answer. </p><p><br></p><p>2. Teacher Configuration Screen (Startup): <em> The game must start with a "Teacher Dashboard". </em> Level Select: A slider/dropdown to choose which level (1-20) to start the class on. <em> Game Controls: A "Start Game" button that transitions into gameplay. 3. Gameplay Experience: </em> </p><p><br></p><p>FORMAT</p><p>Visuals: Modern, clean classroom aesthetic with large, clear emojis. Use distinctive fonts (NOT Inter, Roboto, or Arial). Bold color scheme that's warm and educational. <em> Input: A text box for students to type their guess. </em> Validation: Case-insensitive matching. <em> If CORRECT: Show a "Correct!" screen with the "Learning Fact" and a "Next" button. </em> If WRONG: - Play an error sound using Web Audio API (buzzer/error tone) - Display the correct answer in a red error box that slides down - Shake the input field - Error message disappears after 4 seconds <em> Progress: Show a progress bar (e.g., Level 5 of 20). 4. The "Download &amp; Preview" Feature: </em> Ensure the game is fully playable in the artifact/preview window. <em> Crucial: Include a persistent button at the bottom labeled </em></p><p><br></p><p><em>IMPORTANT DETAILS</em></p><p><em>"💾 Download Offline Game File". </em> The Logic: Use JavaScript Blob function so clicking the button creates and downloads a standalone .html file containing the entire game code. This allows offline use without internet. Technical Specs: <em> All-in-one file (HTML/CSS/JS). </em> </p><p><br></p><p>No external libraries (Vanilla JS only). <em> Responsive design (works on tablets and smartboards). </em> Use Web Audio API for error sound (no external audio files needed). * Creative, distinctive design that avoids generic AI aesthetics.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Create a single-file HTML5 game called "WeatherMania" designed for English students. The game should mimic the gameplay of Atari's "Megamania" (horizontal/vertical scrolling shooter).</p><p>​1. Gameplay Mechanics:</p><p>​Objective: "Shoot the Odd One Out".</p><p>​Vocabulary: Use two arrays: one for Weather Words (e.g., Rainy, Sunny, Windy) and one for Non-Weather Words (e.g., Car, Pizza, Dog).</p><p>​Targets: The enemies are words descending the screen. The player must shoot the Non-Weather words (the odd ones out).</p><p>​Scoring: +10 points for shooting a Non-Weather word. -5 points for shooting a Weather word.</p><p>​Lives System: The player starts with 10 lives. They lose a life if:</p><p>​The ship crashes into any non-weather word.</p><p>​A target (Non-Weather word) escapes off the bottom of the screen.</p><p>​2. Visuals &amp; Controls:</p><p>​Player Ship: Use the Canvas API to draw a ship resembling Star Trek's USS Enterprise.</p><p>​Enemies: Words should be enclosed in light-colored rounded rectangles.</p><p>​Responsiveness: The game must run on browsers and fit mobile screens vertically.</p><p>​Controls:</p><p>​Desktop: Arrow keys to move, Spacebar to shoot.</p><p>​Mobile: Touch/Drag to move the ship, Tap anywhere to shoot.</p><p>​3. Audio:</p><p>​Implement a Sound Synthesizer (using the Web Audio API) to generate retro sounds for shooting, explosions, mistakes, and Game Over. Do not use external audio files.</p><p>​4. End Game Feature:</p><p>​When the game ends, display a "Mission Report" (Answer Key).</p><p>​This report must list the specific words the student got wrong, separated into two categories: "Wrongly Shot" (Weather words they shouldn't have hit) and "Missed Targets" (Non-Weather words they let escape).</p>]]></description>
