8. ☆ Abstract Classes & Override: The Checkpoint Family basics

   Define an abstract base_checkpoint with an overridden OnPassed per subclass.

   🏗️ Builds: base_checkpoint → speed_gate / mod_gate / finish_gate subclasses

   🧭 Begin the quest →
9. ☆ Interfaces: Anything Can Be Scoreable basics

   Declare and implement an interface so unrelated classes share a contract.

   🏗️ Builds: scoreable interface implemented by racer and checkpoint

   🧭 Begin the quest →
10. ☆ Modules: Organize the Jungle Codebase modules

    Split code into modules, control access, and use using { } imports.

    🏗️ Builds: Module layout of the whole rally project

    🧭 Begin the quest →
11. ☆ Build CodewoodKit: Your First Shared Module modules

    Author a reusable helper module (FormatTime, Distance, PickRandom) that later zones import — the start of the cross-zone module arc.

    🏗️ Builds: CodewoodKit module — exported to east-volcano/west-coves/the-deeps

    🧭 Begin the quest →
