Submit Pocket Orchard with evidence

Worked example

Two parameter trials can use the same start and route while changing only speed. Record an observation such as two wall contacts rather than an unsupported claim such as more fun. Scaffold C-BODY — Reusable top-down player with collision Setup: Create CharacterBody2D root Player at (80,180); add CollisionShape2D with CircleShape2D radius 14. Attach this script to Player and save Player.tscn. Use C-FREE-MOVE input actions. Root collision layer 1, mask 2. Create a separate StaticBody2D Wall on layer 2 mask 1 with RectangleShape2D collision and a Polygon2D rectangle as visible child. Instance both under an unscaled Node2D World. Do not put a body inside another physics body. ```gdscript extends CharacterBody2D @export var speed: float = 160.0 func _draw() -> void: draw_circle(Vector2.ZERO, 14.0, Color.CORNFLOWER_BLUE) draw_line(Vector2(-8, 0), Vector2(8, 0), Color.WHITE, 3.0) func _physics_process(_delta: float) -> void: velocity = Input.get_vector("move_left", "move_right", "move_up", "move_down") * speed move_and_slide() ``` Scaffold C-PICKUP — An exactly-once pickup signal Setup: Create Area2D root Coin, CollisionShape2D Circle radius 10. Layer 3 (bit value 4), mask layer 1 only. Monitoring on. Attach script and save Coin.tscn. In the Node > Groups editor add Player root to group player. Put a Coin instance and Player instance in World. Manager connects each Coin.collected to its score handler (see C-MANAGER). Signal wiring here is code-only: do not also connect body_entered in editor. ```gdscript extends Area2D signal collected(points: int) @export var points: int = 1 var taken: bool = false func _ready() -> void: body_entered.connect(_on_body_entered) func _draw() -> void: draw_circle(Vector2.ZERO, 10.0, Color.GOLD) draw_line(Vector2(-5, 0), Vector2(5, 0), Color.BLACK, 2.0) func _on_body_entered(body: Node2D) -> void: if taken or not body.is_in_group("player"): return taken = true collected.emit(points) queue_free() ``` 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() ```

Reusable top-down player with collision

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

Scene and node setup

Create CharacterBody2D root Player at (80,180); add CollisionShape2D with CircleShape2D radius 14. Attach this script to Player and save Player.tscn. Use C-FREE-MOVE input actions. Root collision layer 1, mask 2. Create a separate StaticBody2D Wall on layer 2 mask 1 with RectangleShape2D collision and a Polygon2D rectangle as visible child. Instance both under an unscaled Node2D World. Do not put a body inside another physics body.

extends CharacterBody2D
@export var speed: float = 160.0
func _draw() -> void:
    draw_circle(Vector2.ZERO, 14.0, Color.CORNFLOWER_BLUE)
    draw_line(Vector2(-8, 0), Vector2(8, 0), Color.WHITE, 3.0)
func _physics_process(_delta: float) -> void:
    velocity = Input.get_vector("move_left", "move_right", "move_up", "move_down") * speed
    move_and_slide()

Checks to run in the editor

• Player stops at the wall rather than passing through.
• Diagonal speed matches horizontal speed.
• Do not multiply velocity by delta before move_and_slide.

An exactly-once pickup signal

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

Scene and node setup

Create Area2D root Coin, CollisionShape2D Circle radius 10. Layer 3 (bit value 4), mask layer 1 only. Monitoring on. Attach script and save Coin.tscn. In the Node > Groups editor add Player root to group player. Put a Coin instance and Player instance in World. Manager connects each Coin.collected to its score handler (see C-MANAGER). Signal wiring here is code-only: do not also connect body_entered in editor.

extends Area2D
signal collected(points: int)
@export var points: int = 1
var taken: bool = false
func _ready() -> void:
    body_entered.connect(_on_body_entered)
func _draw() -> void:
    draw_circle(Vector2.ZERO, 10.0, Color.GOLD)
    draw_line(Vector2(-5, 0), Vector2(5, 0), Color.BLACK, 2.0)
func _on_body_entered(body: Node2D) -> void:
    if taken or not body.is_in_group("player"):
        return
    taken = true
    collected.emit(points)
    queue_free()

Checks to run in the editor

• A player touching the coin emits once and removes it.
• A wall or hazard touching the coin does not collect.

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.

Submit Pocket Orchard with evidence — evidence task

1. 1. Package the original orchard game and readme with controls, goal and known limitations.
2. 2. Re-run movement, walls, three pickups, completion and restart from the restored copy.

Deliverable. Pocket Orchard source ZIP or private downloadable artifact link, readme, and five-check log; optional 60-second playthrough.

Acceptance checks

• VGC-L030-T1. The restored copy opens without missing resources.
• VGC-L030-T2. All five feature checks have actual results, not only “done.”

Understanding question. What must accompany a playthrough for programming assessment?

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. Keep the three-coin version working. Duplicate the project folder before experimenting with one parameter at a time. Start with the first assigned task and re-run its acceptance test before adding the remaining feature.

Optional extra. Make one alternate layout with the same rules and compare route clarity. Document one changed parameter, your prediction, and the observed effect; optional, not required for completion.

• Godot step by step: nodes, scenes, GDScript, input, signals

  Free public documentation, no account. Same class help is available within the desktop editor.
