Making a simple platformer

Hello everyone.. I want to make a simple game on html via JavaScript but I don’t really know where to start... Everything online has been confusing to me so does anyone have advice they can give me? Thank you!

I use the HTML5 <canvas> element, and update the frame when something moves. I’m currently working on one now! I’ve been working on it for a month now, and it’s got 600+ lines!

https://github.com/borislavvv00 You can see some of the games I made using canvas. One advise from me. Try to make game without game engines you will learn much more. Using game engine the most of the work will be done and you will have to do the rest. Yes they are really helpfull but if you want to became a good developer try to make your own engine.
