Description A level filled with mines, with some fireworks at the end! This is a DDA, so just sit still and watch your ninja complete the level. As a side note, I realize this may not be the best level but it is my very first and I'd appreciate some positive/constructive feedback. Thank you!

Here [pastebin.com] is an example ;)

AGD

AGD stands for All Gold Demo.

Andreas is right about the DDAs. Try searching DDA in the search bar and you'll see what makes a good DDA. Authors you should look at include: incluye, Clifty, romaniac, bluenin, Life247, Wizard2, Lucidium, lord_day, and myself (1211).

I'll give you an example of the use of bounceblock propulsion.

To Andreas xx

Could you please give me an example of a level that uses the bounceblocks with gold delay trick? Can't quite figure out what you mean here. Thanks :)

I tried [pastebin.com] adding a rocket and a laser, to give you an idea of close calls... the one in this where pretty bad :/

hehe you're welcome ;)

Thank-you for the advice I will make others with different "propulsions" and add some enemies that make it for interesting to watch. Thanks, I'm looking forward to experimenting with these techniques :)

hmm... turned out to be a very long comment... :D

WELCOME TO NUMA!!!

yea, we always say hello to new members that way ;)
on the map... yea, since you're new i won't be harsh or anything, just constructive critiscm (spelled?)
first of, if you wanna make dda's here's some tips:
1. dda's is all about one thing, close calls. it's boring just to watch a dda, where the ninja goes close to a mine... what people wanna see, is rockets, lasers, chainguns and stuff.
2. dda's also need varied propulsion. that's almost a stand alone science area ;) it's how the ninja get's pushed forward. almost all people in here thinks that launchpads are a very "bad" propulsion, since that's what they where originaly ment for, launching the ninja away. so a lot of dda makers keep on trying finding new ways! unfortunately, alsmost all have been discovered (if not all). i will mention some of the most popular:
trapdoors: very VERY common. simply place a trapdoor in the ninjas path, and then, with "c" snap, place the switch 3/4 of a square, the way the ninja is going, and just watch him fly away!
thwumps: as you already have noticed, these can also move the ninja... but in SO many cooler ways than you did ;) it's just about experimenting!
bounceblocks with gold delay: if you place a bounceblock with a few pieces of gold on top of it, and do it right, it can launch the ninja at high speed!
there are more, which you jet have to discover :D
and once again, welcome ;)
