Currently we have a single platform spawned in front of the player. It plays a note. Dope.
I want to change this to have a row of Platforms providing a choice of Notes.
The chosen Notes are recorded into state, and are used by the to generate musical patterns using the notes chosen by the Player. Music Theory Engine
Effectively turning the Player into the conductor of a musical composition.
Storing notes in state, in a method by which musical patterns can generated, will take quite a bit of engineering design.
But! We can do the easy parts first- present the choice of music platforms.

Requirements
Add the ability to spawn multiple Music Platforms
Where a single music platform is currently spawned, spawn an additional n platforms offset from the current centered one.
Platforms should appear in a line ahead of where the user is looking
All platforms should be destroyed when one is selected
Platforms should destroy themselves after a set amount of time
- This is for the case where the platforms are missed for some reasons

Tasks
Refactor SpawnPool
- Currently its a messy BP that generates all supported scales for a tonic.
- We need to refactor to allow for different kinds of spawn pools
All Generated Scales | Maintain what we currently have |
Each 12 Notes | To set Tonic |
Nature of 3rd | Given a tonic, define major/minor/sus 3rd |
Mode Selection | Given a tonic, define a mode based on scale degree shenan |
Create a Notes Array in code for convenience
Create a Scales Array in code for convenience
BP shouldn’t be much more than a switch for what kind of SpawnPool is needed?
