  PLAY 🎲 BEAT BINGLE ON DISCORD  

🎲 Phase 1: Player Signup

• 🕹️ Players sign up for the game by typing /bingle start  in the Discussion channel
• Each 🕹️ Player immediately receives a 📜 Prompt, including: 
  • 🎵 Scale (e.g., C Major, D Phrygian, Whole Tone)
  • ⏳ Time Signature (e.g., 4/4, 7/8, 5/4)
  • 🎺 Spotlight Instrument (e.g., solo violin, guitar, bassoon)
  • 🎭 Articulation (e.g., pizzicato, flutter tongue, sul ponticello) (Higher difficulty adds more complex articulations!)
  • ✨ Signature Element (e.g., Countermelody, Tetrad Chord, Cadence)

 🎶 Phase 2: Composing

• Each 🕹️ Player composes a track based on their 📜 Prompt.

  ⦁ All the required elements (Scale, Time Signature, Spotlight Instrument, Articulation, and Signature Element) must be incorporated.

  ⦁ If you are unsure what a certain term means, try the /explain command. /explain topic:help lists all available help topics.

  ⦁ If your sample libraries lack a required 🎭 articulation, use the closest possible substitute (No col legno? Use pizzicato instead!).

  ⦁ You are free to add other instruments, harmonies, and elements, but the 🎺 Spotlight Instrument must remain prominent.

  ⦁ The ✨ Signature Element must be clearly featured in your composition (e.g., if given "Cadence", ensure a noticeable harmonic resolution; if "Countermelody", a distinct second melodic line should be present).

📜 Phase 3: Results & Feedback

• 🕹️ Players post their finished tracks along with a screenshot or link to their 📜 Prompt.

• Everyone is encouraged to discuss, give feedback, and celebrate the unique results!

⏳ Phase 4: Cooldown

• Reflect on your work, discuss experiences, and prepare for the next round!
