HTML by itself can't do games. You need CSS and JavaScript for that. Stop worrying about games for a month or so and play with all 3 courses to learn possibilities. Eventually, things will make sense and you will see how to put them together so that games result.

As mentioned by others, take your time and go through the courses. Anything that you really don't understand, post in here as you go along and we will be able to help you a little more. If you really want a challenge, post here after each section and i will try to create you a little quiz for that section 😁

The only real requirements, and they aren't really even required: <html> <head> </head> <body> </body> </html> script and stylesheet references go in head. your content goes in body. Aside from that there is no real order. you can do more or less whatever you like. Just make sure you close any tag you open. If you open an anchor tag and you have formatting or images etc inside it dont forget to close the anchor tag after. it is helpful to keep tags on their own line and indent nested tags so you can easily see what needs to be closed. You can do a paragraph tag to start and center it as a title. Or you could use the h1 heading tag instead. followed by an image tag. or maybe no image and straight into something else.

What part aren't you getting exactly? Is it the language itself? Like the tags. Or is it a smaller part of HTML like attributes or something. Let me know what questions you have and I'll be glad to help out.

K, if you are having problems with the tags themselves then I would go through the HTML course very deliberately and slowly. Make sure you understand each step. The tags are designed to be pretty self explanatory. table is a tag that creates a table like a spreadsheet. tr is a table row. table rows contain ts tags which are table data. A div tag is a division of the page. So on and so forth. An HTML file is all tags that lay out how the page looks. Giving tags different widths and heights and colors etc. You can't do a game with HTML. HTML isn't even a programming language. It is just the layout of content on a page. To do a game you'll need a scripting language. Javascript is your best bet as a beginner. It works great with HTML and CSS. So I'll echo what John said. Focus right now on learning the language. Then add CSS and Javascript. Focus on them as languages and once they start making sense games will come. And if you aren't understanding something ask us for help. We all had to as well at some point.
