Wired: I made this map when I was on my glitch spree. I was trying to really push the limit of what I could do in a level. I went and submitted it under the retired uncategorived category as well as an added bonus (thanks to templex). The level in my opinion is more of a great glitch level and not as amzing gameplay wise.

Fracture: This level was my first ever level where I put a constriction on what the player could do. The level is 1. difficult to complete and 2. has no exit. Still I think it is quite inovate and pretty fun.

4-1: Challenger Deep: From my attempts at episodes I think that this is one of my better levels. It was a pretty cool concept that I was playing around with and the result was pretty fun. Out of all of my episodic levels I think that this one stands out the most.

Chasm: A cool swist on the whole "long passage run around and jump over things" type levels. I love the timeing that worked out and also the lower tiles that add some sparkle to the level.

Chill: Chill is one of my favorite levels. It is fun to play, short and sweet. I always like the style of the diagonal reflection and so when it works out so well it makes me very happy ^_^

Waii: I love the tiles that I did for this one as well as the gameplay. It is one of my favorite styles of tiles that I should try and reproduce more often. Despite it linearity I still think it is one of my best.

Bread Crumb Trail: All you can Eat: This level was completly and accident. usualy when I make a puzzle map I have a planed ideas and have a pretty good idea of what I am going to do. When making this I made the traps and then added the gold to make it so the player could get through it. At that point it was incredibly easy. I was planning on just making a path to the exit but when I played the level I realized that If I made the player go back through the same maze they had just come from it would create much more a challenge as well as creat something new and inovative. I was really suprised and quite pleased with the outcome.

Armageddon Poison Gas: I overuse chainguns alot in my older levels. I have many that are ridiculously hard. But this one is much easier as well as more predictable and still posing a challenge.

Chevuex: I usualy stick to linear, closed levels. These, while sometimes being quite enjoyable in some cases, can be very boring. Even currently I strugle with making levels that let the player decide what to do and not driving a path from them to take that I have planned down to the last jump. This level I love becuase I can find a new way to play it every time and in many of my newer levels I strive to create a similar effect.

If You Don't Like Skydiving Settle Down and Build a House: My most recent map that I am including here. I started by making it a level that you would be live skydivng (like the falling part at teh begining). It kinda sucked so I built a house. Out of traps. And it got pretty big. Then I added alot more gold and mines and practicaly remade the level.

I think Sendy's on next week. Maybs.

Atilla's just this guy, you know? Temporary Measures.

Tanner: How was St Atilla's College for Ninjaconceived? Was it a natural birth?
Atilla: I summoned it fully formed from the nether planes. 20 Hit Dice of newbies had surrounded the forum and NEHS was mortally wounded. I figured it was time to intervene before someone cast Feryn's Flaming Post.

Tanner: Would you say that it's reached greatest potential or do you think that there will be more added to it?
Atilla: I don't think it will change until v1.5 is released. As is, it covers more or less all the tricks of the game - the rest is mostly a matter of practice. However, the next version of N will have alterations to the physics, and some enemies - in particular, better paths for drones and floorguards. We'll probably have to add some levels - or at the least change a couple of descriptions - to deal with the changes.

Tanner: Can you be counted on to put together something similar for Robotology?
Atilla: Regretfully, no. I'm not sure that I'll purchase Robotology, nor that I will still be an active member of the community when it is released. For a start, I will finish my degree later this year - some things will have to change.

Tanner: We have Atilla's Quintilogy of Five and Atillus Secondus. Do you have any desire to release a third map pack?
Atilla: You want to know? Elucidation comes first. See?

Tanner: Was your user name in any way influenced by a certain Mongoloid?
Atilla: If you must know, I was accused of being related to a certain Hun after a string of particularly sarcastic remarks. I have not always been the paragon of patience and benevolence I am now. I use the double L instead of a double T because it's less common and thus more distinctive.

Tanner: Do you act mad because you think you're better than the rest of us?
Atilla: People who think I act mad haven't got the joke.

Tanner: Two trains leave a station at exactly the same time, travelling on parallel tracks. Both trains are identical but one has a slight eccentricity in it's wheels that causes it's coefficient of friction to be 0.1 less than that of the other train. Given a five hour trip, a weight of 100 tons each, an acceleration of 7.5 mph/s and a maximum speed of 120 mph, how many minutes will the first train arrive behind the second if both the wheel and the track are made of hard steel.
Atilla: None. According to the question, the trip time for both trains is five hours.
