Pocket Orchard starter

These are the authored scaffold files as text. Copy them into Godot on the family computer. This page does not download a zip, extract an archive, or run the project. The scaffold is not a finished assignment.

# Pocket Orchard original course scaffold
Open project.godot in Godot Standard 4.7.2, Compatibility, then run project. WASD movement, three coins, two walls, completion and Restart. Add arrow alternatives in Input Map as lesson 13 teaches. This scaffold demonstrates the architecture; assignments require your own route, tuning, evidence and explanation.

All art uses original draw commands or polygons. No third-party asset download or account. Official Godot 4.7.2 native headless import, actual physics/collision, collection, completion and restart tests passed in an isolated project. See NATIVE-QA.md for commands/results. Visual editor layout, physical keyboard experience, audible output and optional exports remain untested.

Expected smoke tests: open main scene; move WASD; collide with both walls; collect exactly three items; score increments once; motion stops at completion; Restart restores player/coins/score. Keep your final project artifact separate from this starter.
