This is my first game that I am mainly looking for suggestions to improve even futher...

The game has a complete Start,Middle,Finish.
I am just wanting to know if there are any ways you think i could improve (Not finish) it.

Have fun.
Also go ahead and post your scores at 30 seconds.

[Edit]
forgot to memention please dont comment on how it uses the huge dungeons map unless you know how to get rid of the black squares.

also there is media emembeded on it, and i was having trouble getting the media's to play on my crap cp, so please let me no if they work for you.

When you attach pictures make sure the ".jpg" extension is lower-case, not upper.

As for uploading, just host them using photobucket or something. Go to www.photobucket.com

I was just doing some random glitch updates. i will be just a second with the new exe.
in suport of hyrichter i will be doing the rest of this using codesurge.

New things i've included are:
High score
(per game session, if you could tell me how to read/write files from DBP that would be helpful)
New Game
(after you lose)

Here is a screenshot of a glitch that I would like to be able to mimmic because it is well cooler then normal.
If you could tell me im sure the answer is obvious.
(Note this happens after i try to reload the menu with a new game.

For the finishing point just read if the player is within that area then tell it if your within that point then end the level and go to the next one.
As for animation, stopping the animation you mean? "stop animation animationnumber"
EDIT: And stop double (or more like 9 times) posting.

np, just keep that in mind, people don't like double posting here .

Quote: "also umm... with the animation i ment creating an animation. I'm rather new to DarkBasic Pro let alone 3d programming. I have no clue on how to make an animation."

animations are created externally in another program like "Anim8or" (I think that's one), then imported to DBP and played there .

You can export .x models with animations and just play it from the .x file.

Hmmm... this anim8tor thing doesnt work quite how i was expecting.

All i needed was a wall blowing up lol.

I just googled for
animation + explosion + 3ds + download and came up with this.

all i need to do now is find away to convert ".max" to ".3ds" or ".x"

Good so far! I see you put that Timer thing you found to use

Anyway, I have a few suguestions on how to make it better:

===Easier Menu Interface- I found it VERY hard to change the settings.
===Less acceleration- (I keep on hitting the walls! ARG!)
===Less sensetive mouse controls?

Hmm... these things could because it is quite possible that you may have the sync rate set to 0, therefore the game runs too fast for me.

Good job thus far!
