I'm currently working on a small game during my free time, and initially, my code was clean and easy to manage. However, as I've been adding more features, things have started to get messy and difficult to track. As a beginner, how do you keep your code neat and manageable while working on larger projects? Any tips would be appreciated!

Every new project I start tends to get messy by the end. But what helps is I take notes on where things went wrong and why they got out of hand. This way, I learn for my next project and make a more organized plan, ideally making each new project cleaner than the last.
If you haven't already, consider using a repository and implementing Git for source control. Create feature branches, bugfix branches, and keep track of your commits. Learning Git is essential for any beginner—it'll help you manage your projects much better!
Haha, I can totally relate! I guess it’s all about learning from each messy project and making the next one a bit cleaner.
