MTD: Map That Demo! Please Lock!

PLEASE LOCK THIS THREAD, IT COMPLETELY DIED =P

Okay, I think I might have seen this done once before, so I thought it would be cool to do again. Here's the deal. I will post a demo here that is 2500 1000 frames long (give or take a few frames), and then you guys will make a map that is completable using that demo. In other words, it's like a DDA, except instead of the player making the ninja move using thwumps/launchpads/trapdoors/etc., the demo makes the ninja go through the level.

Moving on, this is, in a way, modeled off of Paradigm Shift. The best author who makes a map using that demo after one week (according to the winner of the previous week), now makes another 2500 1000-ish frame demo and another week begins. I figure a week will be sufficient time to make a map, if anything comes up or we decide it's not the right amount of time, i will change it.

I'll also keep a list of winners, and might include a list of contestants if it doesn't become to troublesome. You don't need to sign up anywhere, just post your map here.

Current Demo:


Alright, well, good luck! (By the way, it is probably a good idea to have the map you make get ALL of the gold. It's not necessary, but it will improve the judge's thoughts on the map IMO.)

Btw, i tried some sigbars for the winner:

it would take me a month to make a good map with that demo. how about 700-1000 frames?

this is a good size.

1) 1000 or close to that is fine.

2) it has already been moved. the admins did it.

Will this be like Paradigm Shift in that we can either participate or not and still join in a future round (like, no one gets eliminated)? If so, I'm in.

It has been done before, and I remember entering but it wasn't successful becouse of lack of people. but this might need to be moved to n-contests and highscores, but i'm in

This sound interesting, but how do I watch the demo without a ninja being placed?

@Toasters: You just place the ninja and then load the demo in the demo box, press Q and then play

@Wumbla: Good map, did you intend for the ninja to get all the gold, because he doesn't..

I'll see if I can get it in. What's the deadline?

it ends weekly. So next sunday (not tomoro) is this weeks deadline. That's the superbowl, so i might be slow on judging, but that's when all submissions are due.

Well, I think I'll try and be more original, but out of curiosity, did you get the data from this slightly modified metanet level?

no, i just loaded a blank level, placed the ninja, and then ran around and jumped all over the place to make it interesting ^_^
