One of the first things should be: look at it don’t copy code, use it to inspire your own code

People like speed and smooth graphics. Implement them in your projects to become better.

Yup!
I’d also say to branch and remix projects with your own unique addition-- it helps you learn how to build off of someone else

  • practice makes perfect.
  • values and clones are incredibly helpful (to me at least).
  • don’t focus on popularity or likes.

try making relationships with other users? and i don’t mean straight out chatting with ppl, but giving out shoutouts or requests and stuff.

  • It’ll be hard at first but stick with it and don’t give up
  • there always room for improvement. Make something, be happy with it, and then start trying to make it better and faster and ad s more to it, don’t just stop when you have something you’re happy with, go for reaching the next level
  • ask for help if you need it and feedback

Popularity doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters about your projects is if you are proud of what you made.

@Stylishpoopemoji33 here you go:

Becoming a better coder. There’s always room for improvement for everyone including the beat hopscotchers out there! Anyone part of this community will be happy to help you, and give you CC! If you need ideas or anything, do not be afraid to tag people! Always learn things from other users, and try not to remix all the time! People value original code so much nowadays, and every time I look at the newest tab all I see are remixes projects, and you can change that! Don’t beg for likes, people will not want to give likes if you are so desperate for them, so be mindful at all times. Another thing is try your best! I’m a okay coder, and I always like to find ways to make me even better, and that’s another thing that the community appreciates! One last thing - it’s okay if you don’t get featured, in all my time in HS I have never had one. The main thing is that you do not give up and always try your very best!
