*Makeup MP3 - Option 2

I believe that Rock, Paper, Scissors is a game with a linear structure. The textbook defines a linear game as a game that has "explicit goals that the player must achieve in the near future to progress" [Thompson, 32]. The goal in the game of Rock, Paper, Scissors is clear: to beat your opponent by throwing one of three choices (rock, paper, or scissors).  A player can also progress through the game by simply playing. He/she can progress by saying the cadence, throwing his/her choice, and either moving on to the next round, winning, or losing. There is clearly a defined goal that the player is aware of, and he/she understands the objective of the game and how to win. Repeatedly playing the game helps the player to get better with new strategy and progress, so it's safe to say that Rock, Paper, Scissors is a game with "explicit goals that the player must achieve in the near future to progress."Although the game is not level-based, it is easy to argue that is a linear game.
