@@ -269,42 +269,4 @@ The Tetris implementation uses the following world library functions:
 - Visual layout and UI polish decisions
 - Project build configuration (Makefile)
 
-All code was reviewed, tested, and validated to ensure correctness, performance, and compliance with game requirements. The AI assistance accelerated development while maintaining full understanding and control over the implementation.

-## Grading Checklist
-
-✓ **GameState struct** - Complete state structure with all fields (board, pieces, score, level, etc.)
-
-✓ **Input handler function** - `world_event()` handles all controls (arrows, space, z, p, q, r)
-
-✓ **3+ state-modifying functions**:
-  1. `lock_piece()` - Locks piece to board and spawns next
-  2. `check_and_clear_lines()` - Clears lines and updates score/level
-  3. `spawn_piece()` - Creates new piece and checks game-over
-  4. `move_piece_left()`, `move_piece_right()`, `rotate_piece()` - Also modify state
-
-✓ **Gravity tick function** - `apply_gravity()` moves pieces down automatically based on level
-
-✓ **Render function** - `render_game()` uses world library only, no direct ncurses calls
-
-✓ **Double-width cells** - Each board cell rendered as 2 characters wide (√ `CELL_WIDTH = 2`)
-
-✓ **Tetromino colors** - Each of 7 pieces has unique color (I:cyan, O:yellow, T:magenta, S:green, Z:red, J:blue, L:orange)
-
-✓ **Unicode characters** - Uses █ (block), ░ (shade), ─ │ ┌ ┐ └ ┘ (borders)
-
-✓ **Split-panel layout** - Left panel (board), right panel (next piece, score, level, lines)
-
-✓ **Makefile** - Compiles with `make`, links ncurses library, works on sigma server
-
-✓ **README.md** - Markdown formatted with all 6 required sections
-
-✓ **world.c and world.h** - Included, unmodified (library was sufficient)
-
-✓ **No direct ncurses calls** - All rendering through world library (`set_color_cell()`, `set_message()`, `clear_screen()`)
-
-✓ **AI disclosure** - Documented in "AI Usage Disclosure" section above
