This is an online tool for making music. Since I have learned some music theory recently, I like to use this website to try and replicate tunes that I know, or even make original compositions. All of the data in a beepbox song is stored in the URL, so we can easily share our creations right here. For example, here is my attempt at Matoya's Cavern:

And the original, for comparison:

I admit, some of the finer details are probably inaccurate in my version. You can do a lot more with beepbox than what I've done here. Some of it requires you to go into the advanced options, but you can make much more complex songs, and there are features for synthesizing your own instruments, as well as pitch bending, dynamics, stereo, and weird time signatures. Give it a try and post what you can come up with!

Hey, that is a cool loop. I like the bassline.
I made a couple more.

A more complete version would have been cool, but it gets pretty tricky to figure out which notes are playing, so I cut it short.

A short and memorable loop. In spite of how few notes it contains, I'm not entirely confident in my version of the bassline. Both of these might be in the wrong key, too. That is harder to get right than just matching the intervals.
This took me like 30 minutes. It's based on EOD - return to star base zero, one of my favorites.

Interesting use of chords. I find it difficult to use those well myself.

Nice! I'm not familiar with the original, but this is well-composed. It takes a good ear to get accompaniment right in a cover.
This time, I've made an original composition instead of a cover. But I'm not that good, so it's a little uninteresting. Here it is:

What do you think I should call it?
By the way, for anyone looking to learn, here is a useful textbook on music theory:
https://mega.nz/file/ucwDDRpY#FWhoTCuB3zJ2Xz72raNc3EmbwxbU7N4jq8aA5bygxtU
Unfortunately, a lot of it is devoted to musical notation, which is rather arbitrary and largely unrelated to the theory, but you can still learn a lot from this book. This website is also helpful:
https://www.musictheory.net/
And this other website lets you practice identifying tones by ear, which is probably the most useful thing you can learn as a beginner:
https://tonedear.com/ear-training/intervals
Of course, I'm a complete amateur regardless. If anyone else has good resources or tips, I'd be glad to see them. Otherwise, I encourage any beginners to see where a bit of study will get you.

you gotta learn notation
Its the tried and true way of writing music for centuries.

I did learn the notation; I read the entire book. I just find it needlessly complex to write everything in terms of C Major. If you prefer it, that's fine, but it looks like extra steps to me.
