autoscrolls
Text advances itself
Autoscrolls describes content that moves on screen without user input, typically scrolling vertically or horizontally at a set pace.
Video games use autoscrolling to force players forward through levels, creating time pressure.
Text displays and teleprompters autoscroll so readers can follow along hands-free.
The feature can also refer to automatic scrolling triggered when a cursor reaches the edge of a window or document.
The level autoscrolls, so you can't go back for missed items.
