My first map ever

I didn't know where to put this and i would love to get schooled by all of you. Anyways this is the first thing i made after learning how to make doors.

It's very simple, the texturing could be a lot better, but congratulations for making a WAD without any errors!
I'd recommend you change the yellow skull texture to a door texture and make a short strip of yellow skulls on either side, or on a separate pillar(s). For the exit, make a switch, hole in the ground or something rather than just a wall with a walk-over line to exit.
Generally it's best to make doors 64 or 128 pixels wide so that the door textures fit them properly instead of tiling half a dozen times.
And replace all those ashwall textures with something nicer.
Lastly, don't put the BFG right at the start with so many cells. Different weapons are good against different monsters and if all you're taking on is revenants and arachnotrons just put in a SSG and a box or two of shells.

When creating doors, its mostly common to flag 'upper unpeg' on the walls to the left and right sides of the door so they don't move along with the door.

Also you're not married to using the doortrack texture all the time. Sometimes it wouldn't hurt to use some variety like doorstop or metal.

Lower unpeg, not upper unpeg :p
