(Record sound as purpose.wav and $purpose)

Does this building make you feel hungary? depressed? happy? scared? safe? disgusted? energized? confused? (Record sound as emotion.wav and $emotion)

What address number? (record answer as $address)

Add responses to database.

Match responses to others who responded with your material and purpose:

i.e. - pick one entry from database that matched $purpose and $material
Replay: "Other people also found a (brick) (restauraunt). It made them feel (pick first emotion from database that matches.)"
Since you feel (happy) your c is now = (1) and your direction is now (left)
(hungary) (2) (righht)
(depressed) (3)
(scared) (4)
(safe) (5)
(disgusted) (6)
(energized) (7)
