Make skipping a cutscene leave the game in the same state as watching it

Players skip the long scene and then find the door still locked, the coins never added or the ally missing. Something that happened on screen never happened in the game. Here is how your AI compares watching and skipping at every possible moment and names exactly what goes missing.

Why this works

A scene tells the player something and also changes the game, and the two must not be confused. If the change only happens because an animation happened to run, skipping loses it. Comparing watching and skipping side by side shows exactly which changes depended on the picture.

When not to use it

Skip it when scenes cannot be skipped at all, or when they are so short that nobody wants to. Also not enough alone: if a change is made by something outside the scene, such as a trigger in the level, this comparison cannot see it.
