Best coding practice for html / css?

Hi guys, I was coding my html / css code here and realized that i was writing the same redundant lines of code again and again for my repeating elements. Eg: the lamp post in my code below occurs 20 times so i had to code that element 20 times. Which i some how find very unconvincing.. Is there a way in which we can eliminate this redundant coding for repeating elements? like a loop or something? Is it possible? https://code.sololearn.com/Wsj2Na2Iq22x/?ref=app

I am aware that we can add inner html using php/js loops, but was just hoping that it should be there in html too, may b i am wrong 🙁

You can use PHP or Javascript to generate repeating parts of page code. Not sure if you can do same thing with HTML only.

@Shraddha That could be the game! press on the sky to throw a firework to shoot the bird which fall on cars and cars explode on contact with the dead bird @_@

Nice moon! 😊 😱 With an interactive parallax effect it would be more amazing I think.

You are right! Patience is part of coding :3 that's why I'm about to sleep, I'm not patient xD Well no, o.k the true reason is that's midnight here and I wake up at 6:30 a.m (+45 min of try to open first eye), so time to go! See ya! code well and I except a firework behind the moon at first hour tomorrow morning after I open my second eye (about 10:00 am)

😂 from the poetic to the no idea trash mash up of ideas. Work with mouse position is not that hard =) The main idea is the mouse event function return an object including x and y coordinates of the cursor. With jQuery it looks like something: myTarget.on("mousemove", function(eventDatas) { posX = eventDatas.x; posY = eventDatas.y; } ) I haven't the doc with me be the global idea is this.
