To what extent is it okay to ask for help?

Hi! I'm a new game developer (not even that yet—I'm just getting started, and I'm already running into problems lol).

I'm trying to make a game similar to Frogger, but it's turning out to be more difficult than I expected.

At the same time, I don't want to be lazy and just copy other people's code every time I run into an issue, especially since I want to work professionally in the future.

So, how much help is considered okay to receive? Where's the line between learning from others and relying on them too much?
