Polish and share

Your game works. That's not the same as finished.

Finished means someone else can pick it up, understand it without your help, play it, and know when they've won.

The gap between those two is polish — and it's smaller than you think. An hour of it turns a class project into something you'd happily show anyone.

Polish isn't decoration. It's the set of things that let a stranger succeed without you:

1. Instructions — how do I play? Even one line on screen at the start.
2. Feedback — did that click work? Did I score? Sound, a message, a flash.
3. A clear ending — "You win!" or "Game Over", not a silent stop.
4. A clean start — everything reset, every time.
5. No obvious bugs — nothing that breaks in the first thirty seconds.

That list, in that order. Instructions matter more than artwork, however tempting the artwork is.
