DDA stands for Don't Do Anything. DDA maps are purely made for entertainment, rather than playability. In these maps, the movement of the ninja is controlled not by the player, but by the tileset and objects like bounceblocks, launchpads, doors, and thwumps. The construction of these usually takes a lot of time. In return for the time spent on making them, good DDAs are highly popular, for example: Tattletale (nevermore), The Improbability Drive (formica), Rocket- ed.(formica), and Thriller (Sendy) have been in the top 10 maps on NUMA. Some DDAs exploit a well-known bug, which makes the ninja invulnerable. DDAs using this bug must be played in debug mode to work properly.
