You are 20 years old and single. Tonight is your twentieth birthday. You live alone in a small flat in Slough, a suburb of London, England. Somehow you left school without any qualifications to speak of, and you have a dead end job that doesn't have much of a future. What are you going to do with your life? And what will you have achieved by your thirtieth birthday?

What is perception. In other words, sensation involves detecting the presence of a stimulus whereas perception involves understanding what the stimulus means. For example, when we see something, the visual stimulus is the light energy reflected from the external world and the eye becomes the sensor.

In Kudos what you do with that life is nearly limitless. Become a muscular physicist on the bowling team, alcoholic motorcycle riding human rights lawyer, health-obsessed skateboarding cosmetic surgeon, or whatever your imagination can handle. Kudos lets you live a second life one turn at a time.

There's neither victory nor defeat in Kudos. You earn kudos as a measure of your social performance, but the game does not end when your kudos is high or when your kudos is low. Instead the goals you set are your own to deal with, and so as you explore the game new ideas and new goals may become the objective of your new life.

Contents.Gameplay The basic principle of Kudos is that the player controls a 'virtual life' for ten years, starting at age 20, and ending at age 30. An accelerated calendar system plays out each day of those ten years (with only actually 7 days in each month). During each turn (which is a single day, or half-day at weekends) the player chooses from a range of solo and social activities, and responds to phone calls from his friends regarding social invitations. The key to the game is that every single decision the player makes affects multiple aspects of their personality, mind and body, so that (for example) going bowling may improve their fitness, their happiness, and reduce their level of energy, as well as having other subtler effects depending who else attended the event, and the characters 'state' when they embark on the activity.
