Finish and restart a small playable game

Worked example

A pickup emits collected(1); a manager receives that event and changes one score variable. The label formats that score rather than keeping a second independent total. Scaffold C-MANAGER — A complete three-coin collection round Setup: Create World Node2D root with Player (C-BODY), three Coin instances (C-PICKUP), and CanvasLayer HUD > Label named Score plus Button named Restart (text Restart, position 500,10). Root and parents unscaled. Name coins Coin1, Coin2, Coin3. Place them at (250,100),(380,220),(520,100). Player group player. Attach script to World. UI paths and coin names must match exactly. Connect nothing else in the editor. Label at (10,10). ```gdscript extends Node2D var score: int = 0 var playing: bool = true @onready var score_label: Label = $HUD/Score func _ready() -> void: $HUD/Restart.pressed.connect(_restart) for coin in [$Coin1, $Coin2, $Coin3]: coin.collected.connect(_on_collected) _refresh() func _on_collected(points: int) -> void: if not playing: return score += points if score >= 3: playing = false $Player.set_physics_process(false) _refresh() func _refresh() -> void: score_label.text = "Score: %d / 3" % score if not playing: score_label.text += " — Orchard complete!" func _restart() -> void: get_tree().reload_current_scene() ```

A complete three-coin collection round

GDScript (Godot 4, not Scratch, Python, JavaScript or C#). Scaffold C-MANAGER. Copy starts from this text. The desk does not run it.

Scene and node setup

Create World Node2D root with Player (C-BODY), three Coin instances (C-PICKUP), and CanvasLayer HUD > Label named Score plus Button named Restart (text Restart, position 500,10). Root and parents unscaled. Name coins Coin1, Coin2, Coin3. Place them at (250,100),(380,220),(520,100). Player group player. Attach script to World. UI paths and coin names must match exactly. Connect nothing else in the editor. Label at (10,10).

extends Node2D
var score: int = 0
var playing: bool = true
@onready var score_label: Label = $HUD/Score
func _ready() -> void:
    $HUD/Restart.pressed.connect(_restart)
    for coin in [$Coin1, $Coin2, $Coin3]:
        coin.collected.connect(_on_collected)
    _refresh()
func _on_collected(points: int) -> void:
    if not playing:
        return
    score += points
    if score >= 3:
        playing = false
        $Player.set_physics_process(false)
    _refresh()
func _refresh() -> void:
    score_label.text = "Score: %d / 3" % score
    if not playing:
        score_label.text += " — Orchard complete!"
func _restart() -> void:
    get_tree().reload_current_scene()

Checks to run in the editor

• Collect three coins: score is 3 and a completion message appears.
• Restart recreates three coins and score is zero.

Native Godot 4.7.2.stable.official.ed1daf0bf headless compile and representative node-tree/runtime tests passed; see native-qa-results.json. Visual UI, audible output, exports and website submission still need separate checks.

Finish and restart a small playable game — evidence task

1. 1. Add the Restart button and completion feedback.
2. 2. Complete, restart, then complete again without closing the editor.

Deliverable. Pocket Orchard first full game ZIP and two-round checklist.

Acceptance checks

• VGC-L025-T1. Each round begins with three coins and score zero.
• VGC-L025-T2. Movement stops after completion and resumes after restart.

Understanding question. Why is resetting only the score variable insufficient?

Include a downloadable project ZIP with project.godot, .tscn, .gd and original asset files when code changes. A private, teacher-accessible download link to that ZIP is equivalent. Screenshots or a playthrough do not replace editable source.

If this is still shaky. Use one coin and one player in a blank World. Confirm the group and mask before adding a score label. Start with the first assigned task and re-run its acceptance test before adding the remaining feature.

Optional extra. Add a second pickup value using the same signal instead of duplicating the whole scene. Document one changed parameter, your prediction, and the observed effect; optional, not required for completion.

Turn in typed notes and a JPEG, PNG, or WebP screenshot. One https address is stored as text and is not opened, extracted, or run. An MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, or WebM file up to 4 MB can show a demo. The demo does not replace editable source. Zip and code files are refused. If there is no private link, keep the project on the family computer and review the code in person.
