Quick user guide

Connect two players

Two players can enter the same arbitrary Team/Room ID and select Join by ID. Alternatively, each can select Quick Match to be paired automatically. One person may also test the interaction using two devices or browsers. Participants receive Seat A and Seat B.

Set strategies and play

  1. Each player chooses strategy parameters θ and φ.
  2. Select Update Round to register the current strategy. This step does not play a sound.
  3. Press a musical key to trigger a new quantum measurement and hear the resulting sound.
  4. Revise strategies and repeat. Either player can update without fixed turns.

The measurement yields a two-bit result (00, 01, 10, or 11) used to change the pitch of the played note.
