I've used a Doom map editor several years ago and it was just too complicated and made too much work out of creating levels and I quickly lost interest. This new one though is much more user friendly and apparently it's used in computer classes for children in China:
Quote:
Elementary school students from grades 4, 5, and 6 of a public international school in Shanghai have been learning how to make maps for Doom using Doom Builder for nearly two semesters. These students, ranging in age from 9 to 13 years old, are used to playing first-person shooters, but were surprised to find that they themselves could create their own world within such a game.
So I figured, if they can make maps using this program, so can I! I had a bit of trouble at first, and still do at times with complicated functions, but I'm getting the hang of it. The tutorials on the website help a lot.
