well jim you are a paictent?? one. and you asked so i will share
again. and hope that i don't get told to shut up again by whoever it
is that thinks he knows how by brain works.
but i said before. i just load all the stuff on the level and start
takeing away.
like you i get some shortcut paths that are more fun. so i make it
harder for the first path. but i do make them just by throwing up all
the items helter skelter and then try to make a theme out of what i
see there.
i always try to make the path to the flag so you wont get shot at
when you get the flag sometimes it works.
most the time i just make a level and call it something trying not
to copy someone else's level names but with the number of levels
that is getting hard.
also like you i have not made any in awhile been playing the game. 8-)
