• All computer games follow a set of rules that have been developed by the programmers. They explain what the game should do (an action) when different things happen (event)
• Rules are written in the format:
  IF Event THEN Action
  e.g IF Player presses up arrow THEN character jumps e.g IF player clicks start THEN go to level 1 e.g IF player hits a monster THEN lose a life and restart the level
