Give an item once and remember it

Worked example

A separate practice door might require badge OR helper_present. Test each Boolean combination on paper before using the function to show an Open button. Scaffold C-DIALOGUE — Data-driven branching dialogue without personal data Setup: Create Control root Dialogue with VBoxContainer Box containing Label Line and Buttons A and B. Set Box anchors to full rect; Line autowrap if needed. Attach script to Dialogue. Data keys are fictional scene IDs. All three screens can fit in 640x360. This is a self-contained example; replace story text in the assignment. ```gdscript extends Control var page: String = "start" var story: Dictionary = { "start": {"text": "Two paths enter the archive.", "choices": [["Ask the keeper", "keeper"], ["Read a sign", "sign"]]}, "keeper": {"text": "The keeper offers a map.", "choices": [["Return", "start"]]}, "sign": {"text": "Quiet room to the east.", "choices": [["Return", "start"]]} } func _ready() -> void: $Box/A.pressed.connect(_choose.bind(0)) $Box/B.pressed.connect(_choose.bind(1)) _show() func _show() -> void: var entry: Dictionary = story[page] $Box/Line.text = entry["text"] var buttons: Array[Button] = [$Box/A, $Box/B] for i in range(buttons.size()): buttons[i].visible = i < entry["choices"].size() if buttons[i].visible: buttons[i].text = entry["choices"][i][0] $Box/A.grab_focus() func _choose(index: int) -> void: var choices: Array = story[page]["choices"] if index < 0 or index >= choices.size(): return page = str(choices[index][1]) _show() ``` Scaffold C-PUZZLE — A testable gate rule Setup: Create Node root GateLab and attach this script. The pure gate_open function does not read input or change a scene. A level can call it with its inventory and lever state. Assertions run on start. For the assignment write additional tests before changing the rule. ```gdscript extends Node func gate_open(has_key: bool, lever_on: bool, alarm_on: bool) -> bool: return has_key and lever_on and not alarm_on func _ready() -> void: assert(gate_open(true, true, false)) assert(not gate_open(false, true, false)) assert(not gate_open(true, false, false)) assert(not gate_open(true, true, true)) print("Gate checks passed") ```

Data-driven branching dialogue without personal data

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

Scene and node setup

Create Control root Dialogue with VBoxContainer Box containing Label Line and Buttons A and B. Set Box anchors to full rect; Line autowrap if needed. Attach script to Dialogue. Data keys are fictional scene IDs. All three screens can fit in 640x360. This is a self-contained example; replace story text in the assignment.

extends Control
var page: String = "start"
var story: Dictionary = {
    "start": {"text": "Two paths enter the archive.", "choices": [["Ask the keeper", "keeper"], ["Read a sign", "sign"]]},
    "keeper": {"text": "The keeper offers a map.", "choices": [["Return", "start"]]},
    "sign": {"text": "Quiet room to the east.", "choices": [["Return", "start"]]}
}
func _ready() -> void:
    $Box/A.pressed.connect(_choose.bind(0))
    $Box/B.pressed.connect(_choose.bind(1))
    _show()
func _show() -> void:
    var entry: Dictionary = story[page]
    $Box/Line.text = entry["text"]
    var buttons: Array[Button] = [$Box/A, $Box/B]
    for i in range(buttons.size()):
        buttons[i].visible = i < entry["choices"].size()
        if buttons[i].visible:
            buttons[i].text = entry["choices"][i][0]
    $Box/A.grab_focus()
func _choose(index: int) -> void:
    var choices: Array = story[page]["choices"]
    if index < 0 or index >= choices.size():
        return
    page = str(choices[index][1])
    _show()

Checks to run in the editor

• Both start choices work.
• Return works from each branch; hidden B cannot trigger a nonexistent choice.

A testable gate rule

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

Scene and node setup

Create Node root GateLab and attach this script. The pure gate_open function does not read input or change a scene. A level can call it with its inventory and lever state. Assertions run on start. For the assignment write additional tests before changing the rule.

extends Node
func gate_open(has_key: bool, lever_on: bool, alarm_on: bool) -> bool:
    return has_key and lever_on and not alarm_on
func _ready() -> void:
    assert(gate_open(true, true, false))
    assert(not gate_open(false, true, false))
    assert(not gate_open(true, false, false))
    assert(not gate_open(true, true, true))
    print("Gate checks passed")

Checks to run in the editor

• Four supplied assertions pass.
• A complete truth table contains eight input combinations.

Give an item once and remember it — evidence task

1. 1. Add a once-only key reward and a changed repeat-visit passage.
2. 2. Visit the keeper three times and restart.

Deliverable. Story project with key-state trace.

Acceptance checks

• VGC-L053-T1. Repeated visits do not duplicate the reward.
• VGC-L053-T2. Restart returns to the documented initial possession state.

Understanding question. Why is a condition not the same as an assignment?

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 the C-PUZZLE pure function and a paper truth table before attaching conditions to UI. Start with the first assigned task and re-run its acceptance test before adding the remaining feature.

Optional extra. Find a logically equivalent expression and verify all eight truth-table rows. 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.
