I placed the enemies and the ninja's starting position first. Then I went move-by-move, trying to keep him alive, and getting him to move around the arena.

cant even beat a dda.

This is good stuff
can i jus ask how you made this?...give me like a sentance..or did u just put a bunch of stuff in and moved till it worked. Yours truly CM

EVERYTHING IS SO COOL! except for the LOOOOOONG explanation, but still 5/5

wicked DDA excellent variety 5.0

I've developed a somewhat ridiculous standard for DDAs, mainly because some authors seen to churn them out and get consistently high ratings. Even so, this got 4.5 ninjas from me. Very impressive.

Just know a general idea of how long it takes to get from each part to each part. Stop when you think it's nearing the point.
Other than that, no.

Anyother way than stopping it every couple of seconds to check the frames?

you didnt have to tell us your life's story on the description, but this is a good DDA.

Top Rated Map? Thanks, guys.

I just realized, this DDA is 24 frames shorter than mithril_silver's most recent DDA. I suppose it's not as short as I thought it was.

Blazeraid, I'm not trying to grade-grub, but I'm curious, what might have gotten me that extra .5/5?

I supplied you a demo. Go back to the debug mode screen and in the demo section it shows you what frame it's on.
You can do the same if you press at the beginning.

but one thing, how do we know what frame its on?...

that was awesome!
I am deeply honoured.
And i can put it in my userlevels!
