# Your practical finish line
You do not have to write code to demonstrate creative direction.
Keep six outcomes you can show:
1. A brief that reflects your idea, a small scope and your preferences.
2. One playable loop, with exact run steps and observed input/action/restart behavior.
3. An intentional change you requested, with before/after evidence and a clear reason.
4. A focused issue or edge-case investigation with actual results, and a repair or honest unresolved report when needed. A passing check is a valid result; never invent a bug.
5. A coherent polish/rights pass: readable interface, controllable sound, accessible feedback, asset credits and a tested working copy.
6. A clean release/handoff describing what ran, what remains untested and how to recover the project.
The AI may implement and run checks, but you judge whether its work matches your vision. A screenshot, a self-reported practice mark or a confident answer alone does not prove all outcomes.
This is self-study, not accreditation. No human beginner completion study is claimed.
