Kudo is an interactive sound game where a score is created by plotting a kudos graph. The graph acts as a forecast for potential relationships based on incidents and interaction between two people. The result is an audio representation of the current status of play and whether the personal investment in the relationship is worth pursuing. The idea is that your subject dances to their own tune, will you be dancing with them?

How To Play Kudo:

1. Fill out a kudo graph by giving your subject a kudos rating.

On the graph the horizontal lines mark the incidents (there are seven), and the vertical lines mark the kudos rating that you give each incident. The kudos rating is from -5 kudos (the lowest rating = a negative experience) to +5 kudos (the highest rating = a positive experience).

The first incident marks the first encounter with the individual.
For example
Incident 1.
I was at a club, he noticed me and walked up to me smiling.
+ 3 kudos

You then give your subject a rating up to the most recent or last encounter.
For example:

incident 2.
We went to the movies and she kissed me good night.
+ 5 kudos
incident 3.
She called me and told me that she wanted to make love to me.
+ 5 kudos
and so on…

After the graph is plotted it becomes a music score, so you need to write a title and artists name.

2. Now take your completed graph to the sound game.
To play the tune, click on the appropriate buttons that correspond
to the numbers on your graph reading.
