Organize visual assets for maintainability

Worked example

An original safe-object icon could be a rounded triangle with a line marker. A dangerous-object icon could be a square with a cross, remaining distinct without hue. Scaffold C-DRAW — Draw an original geometric actor Setup: Create Node2D root Actor. Attach actor.gd. Save Actor.tscn. A draw command uses coordinates relative to Actor. Set its Position to (200,150) in the Inspector. Change the blue color or white marker to make original art. No imported artwork is needed. ```gdscript extends Node2D func _draw() -> void: draw_circle(Vector2.ZERO, 14.0, Color(0.15, 0.5, 0.9)) draw_line(Vector2(-8, 0), Vector2(8, 0), Color.WHITE, 3.0) ```

Draw an original geometric actor

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

Scene and node setup

Create Node2D root Actor. Attach actor.gd. Save Actor.tscn. A draw command uses coordinates relative to Actor. Set its Position to (200,150) in the Inspector. Change the blue color or white marker to make original art. No imported artwork is needed.

extends Node2D
func _draw() -> void:
    draw_circle(Vector2.ZERO, 14.0, Color(0.15, 0.5, 0.9))
    draw_line(Vector2(-8, 0), Vector2(8, 0), Color.WHITE, 3.0)

Checks to run in the editor

• Actor is visible centered at its position.
• Move root: both circle and marker move together.

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.

Organize visual assets for maintainability — evidence task

1. 1. Organize original visual assets and one shared visual scene.
2. 2. Restore the project ZIP in a clean folder and run it.

Deliverable. Organized project artifact and path audit.

Acceptance checks

• VGC-L095-T1. No missing texture or scene path appears.
• VGC-L095-T2. Shared appearance changes propagate to all intended instances.

Understanding question. Why test a clean restored copy after moving assets?

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 only circles, rectangles and text. Keep physics colliders unchanged while replacing a visual child. Start with the first assigned task and re-run its acceptance test before adding the remaining feature.

Optional extra. Make a second visual theme without changing any gameplay script. 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.
