LO1 - To understand what a rule is in the context of computer gaming
LO2 - To understand what a an action and an event are in the context of computer gaming
LO3 - To be able to  develop a rules log for the running of your own game


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
