Here’s the coolest thing - most coders often use existing code and modify it rather than typing it all up new. You can do the same thing!
Select the sandbox you want. Most will then give you the option to “+Get Started” or offer an example or two under “Looking for some inspiration?” If you do check out the “fork” template, be sure to look over the code and see if you can understand HOW the code works to make that design or perform the task. THEN, modify the code - alter color, degrees, number of repeats, distance it moves, etc. Use the “Docs” tab to find the exact code commands to use.
