Each page covers one topic: the VCE definition, the GDScript syntax, a minimal worked example in the shared **Myki fare app** domain, and the **evidence standard** — what earns each skill-code tick and what does not. Your checkpoint and validation feedback — from your teacher or an AI reviewer — is graded against these pages, so what they say *is* the standard.

## Using these pages for your checkpoint
11
12
1. Pick a nominated feature you have built.
13
14
2. Walk the lookup table below: for each code, open its page and compare your code against the **Earns the tick** line.
15
16
3. Label the exact line (`# C626a — selection: …`), and write the *why* comment wherever the code asks for reasoning.
17
18
4. Anything you cannot label yet is your to-do list — each page shows the smallest pattern that earns the tick, and the codes climb from very low (C611) to very high (C65x).

- **Checkpoint sheet:** three boxes per code — label your code `C611a`, `C611b`, `C611c` for your first, second and third nominated feature (102 marks).
25
26
- **Validation sheet:** one box per code, ticked only for skills demonstrated **live** during the Live Coding Validation (34 marks) — in the Prove-It's-Yours re-label, the data-layer extension, or a mini-challenge. Practise finding and re-labelling your own code without notes.
27
28
- **Label as you code.** A skill the marker cannot find earns nothing — put the code in a comment on the line (or block) that shows it. Every example on these pages carries its own label to model exactly this.

**Levels of performance:** Not shown (0) · 1–2 very low · 3–4 low · 5–6 medium · 7–8 high · 9–10 very high.

## Reasoning-verb ladder (internal documentation codes)
33
34
The four "why" codes are the same skill at rising depth. The verb is the standard:
35
36
| Code | Level | Verb | Looks like |
37
|---|---|---|---|
38
| C629 | 3–4 | **outlines** why data types | `# C629 — float: money needs decimal places` |
39
| C638 | 5–6 | **identifies** why types *and structures* | a one-line reason on each structure |
40
| C645 | 7–8 | **describes** why data sources | a sentence or two per source |
41
| C658 | 9–10 | **explains** why all of them | reasons that weigh alternatives ("CSV over XML because …") |

- **Real code from the projects studied in class**, attributed in the snippet's first comment line (e.g. `# connect-go-dots — grid.gd`). So far: `connect-go-dots` (instructions, sequence, iteration, GUI and controls, autoload global), `tile-matching-game` (operators, selection, a real `while`, data types, typed arrays, records, CSV source, full functions and methods, classes and objects) and `club-ladder` (`match`, class-as-record, direct `.new()`, XML read *and* write, `res://` vs `user://`, model design reasoning) — plus *non-examples* for engine methods and engine inheritance. Also worth reading: `dodge-the-creeps` (GUI, signals).
