Instead of the background color "light blue" , I want to turn it light green for right and red

just adding to what epic said, definitely use the correct HTML elements wherever you can. there are a lot, but it's not only more logical and semantic but also more accessible for people using assistive technology. there are a lot of elements but just memorizing the most commonly used ones is good enough, and remembering that you can find them all on mdn if you need a more niche element. <div> is technically supposed to be a "i got nothing better to put here" fallback-y element so keep that in mind

What is the most "Semantic" way of adding svg's inside button elements?

Definitely the 2nd option, the first one is harder to read through and may be an XSS vulnerability, and I'm not sure if you can even do that?

How does the input checkbox work if it's hidden?

Another issue in the video is using display: none on the input. This is an accessibility concern and may cause problems for users who rely on screen readers. The proper way to "hide" things with CSS while maintaining accessibility features is with the following class.

.visually-hidden {
    clip: rect(0 0 0 0);
    clip-path: inset(50%);
    height: 1px;
    overflow: hidden;
    position: absolute;
    white-space: nowrap;
    width: 1px;
}

.visually-hidden {
    clip: rect(0 0 0 0);
    clip-path: inset(50%);
    height: 1px;
    overflow: hidden;
    position: absolute;
    white-space: nowrap;
    width: 1px;
}

This will ensure that the element is not visible, but still present and usable for people using assistive technologies. Keep in mind you have to add styling for focus and hover states to another element as a result (i.e. the corresponding <label>).

How does the input checkbox work if it's hidden?

The two ways to use <label>.

<label>
  <input type="checkbox">
  This label toggles the checkbox
</label>

<label>
  <input type="checkbox">
  This label toggles the checkbox
</label>

<input type="checkbox" id="myCheckbox">
<label for="myCheckbox">This label toggles the checkbox</label>

<input type="checkbox" id="myCheckbox">
<label for="myCheckbox">This label toggles the checkbox</label>

Label is an inline element so only put other inline elements (not block level elements) inside. Do not put a label inside a label. The video incorrectly puts a <div> (a block-level element) inside the label--this is not semantic HTML according to the spec. Note that depending on the one you choose, your styling options may differ, as firefox still does not support :has().

White space after image

White space after image

you need more height on the body, the image is position: absolute so it will not affect the body even if you increase its height

White space after image

I personally use <img> with position: fixed because of some limitations with background-image

White space after image

I think you're trying to set a background-image that takes up the entire viewport?

Redesign a website tips

I know what you mean and from what I can tell you can't (easily) replicate the smooth horizontal scroll that browsers do when you shift + scroll; the simple horizontal scroll solution (without shift) in JS causes an instant snap effect (example scrolling on the maps list on the bottom)[https://bapharia.com/map].

I think it could all be done in memory so you could just use a server without a database. maybe even cloudflare workers which has a generous free tier as well. unless you're trying to store win/loss history
