In computer games, there are two main forms of scripting events that bring the plot forward. In linear games, the player must perform one specific task after another, such as jumping a series of barrels floating in a pool, defeating the underling boss villain before the head villain, or opening a series of stairway doors, floor after floor, that have puzzle locks.
