Congratulations! You've just discovered the irony of most computer "games". The "game" (machine/program) actually
programs the player to respond to stimuli (conditions) in certain ways - perfectly or near perfectly - in order to progress/succeed.
When you think about it, unless one is playing against another player (bringing competition into the mix) most computer games are actually puzzles, requiring some kind of
solution in order to "win".
This isn't necessarily a bad thing - it's just the nature of the beastie (and why some game enthusiasts/afficionados prefer
board games).
