There's basically two routes:

1) Learn a programming language. This is not something you can do in a day, or even in many days. It takes a long time and a lot of work. So, if you've never done any programming before, you'll probably want to try option 2 ...

2) Use a game creation tool. Probably <a href="http://www.yoyogames.com/gamemaker/">GameMaker</a> is what you're looking for, or you can browse the <a href="http://www.ambrosine.com/resource.html">huge list of game creation systems</a>.

You can also create whole new DD levels.
For that you need of course a level editor.
You can find it @ Romero's home site:
http://www.rome.ro/games_ddici.htm

Download "DANGEROUS DAVE IN COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT" , run it in dosbox, (unzip it first *LOL*).
TED (the level editor) is included.
Works pretty good.

Wow, so that's why it's rome.ro... I've stumbled upon it once, and wondered why in the world it had nothing to do with Rome :laugh:

I feel smarter now!

Well, he posted about our forum in his forum. And, that's exactly the meaning of "visited." If I meant "he posted here" I would've said that instead.
