			'''DeCode''' is a [[Update 1.9\|1.9]] Easy Demon level by [[Rek3dge]], published on 17 November 2014. It is widely considered one of the most influential Easy Demons in the game's history. Though formerly considered incredibly difficult at the time due to the novelty of the wave game-mode, it is currently considered a high-end Easy Demon to most new players. A remake, DeCodeX, was created by Rek3dge and released in [[Update 2.0]].

	== Description ==		==Description==
	DeCode ~~was created shortly after 1~~.~~9 was released~~. At ~~its time~~, it ~~was considered~~ a ~~hard demon~~, ~~but~~ is ~~now considered easy~~, and ~~sometimes very~~ easy, ~~and its difficulty has been lost to much harder demons such as [[Cataclysm]]~~.		*'''0-10%:''' DeCode begins with a single-speed cube section containing relatively easy timings.
			*'''10-24%:''' Next, the level transitions into a double-speed ship segment that requires decent straight-flying skills. It then switches to an easy upside-down UFO segment. The player then briefly switches back into a cube with two jumps and goes through some gravity portals.
			*'''24-36%:''' This starts up a double-speed wave segment, which can prove difficult for players.
			*'''36-48%:''' Afterwards, the level transitions into a double-speed ball segment with fairly difficult timings and fake lines. At the end of the section, the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 flash up.
			*'''48-76%:''' The song drops, and the player transitions into a triple-speed cube section featuring many moderately tricky timings and fakes. The level then transitions into a UFO segment with frequent gravity changes. This section is difficult because it requires many well-timed clicks. After this, the player switches back into a cube, which is much easier than the previous sections.
			*'''76-84%:''' Afterwards, the player transitions into the infamous slow yet tight wave segment, containing many spikes attached to the top and bottom of the diagonal wavy corridor.
			*'''84-91%:''' The player then switches into a half-speed ship segment with gravity changes.
			*'''91-100%:''' The last section involves a single-speed mini-cube with lots of easy-to-time jumps scattered throughout two 'block mazes.' Finally, the level ends with Rek3dge's name.

	== Gameplay ==		==Gameplay==
	The level starts off with a cube that has pretty easy timing and a few pads, gravity portals and jump rings. The cube then switches to a double speed rocket that requires decent straight fly skills, but otherwise is not that difficult. It then switches to an upside down UFO that requires rapid clicking and good timing, but does not need to be perfect. The player then briefly switches back into a cube with a few jumps, and goes into a couple of gravity portals. This starts up DeCode's double speed wave, which is difficult for players who have not mastered the wave on other wave levels, but is otherwise easy and does not have many tight spaces. The wave then transitions into a gravity ball with hard timings and fake lines, but otherwise is rather simple. At the end of the gravity ball, the numbers "1, 2, 3, 4" flash up. The music then drops and the player transitions into a triple speed cube with moderately difficult timing. The cube then transitions into a UFO with an annoying amount of gravity portals that can cause extreme confusion if the player is not sure what to do. The player switches back into a cube and goes into a similar section to the previous triple speed cube, but not as hard. The player then switches into DeCode's previously "hard" half speed wave, with large amounts of spikes that may intimidate the player and many tight spaces. The player then switches into a ship with a few gravity portals and requires decent flying to avoid crashing into the many spikes lined up in the section. The last section of DeCode involves a mini cube with easy to time jumps, which the level then ends with Rek3dge's name.		{{VC\|b2T1mjym2EM}}

	== Trivia ==		==Trivia==
	* DeCode ~~used to~~ be ~~one~~ of the ~~hardest demons~~ of ~~its time, but~~ was ~~eventually changed~~ to ~~"Easy" because of new hard demons surfacing from~~ hackers ~~or extremely skilled players~~.		*DeCode cannot be copied. Rek3dge later uploaded a copyable version of the level (8175666).
	* The ~~hardest part~~ of DeCode ~~was considered~~ the ~~half~~ speed wave, ~~which is~~ now ~~nothing compared to~~ the ~~majority of difficult~~ [[~~Nine Circles Levels~~\|~~Nine Circles levels~~]] ~~such~~ as [[~~Poltergeist~~]] or [[~~Crimson Clutter~~]].		*DeCode was ranked #20 in GDToday's '100 Greatest Levels of All Time' list.
	[[~~Category:Demon levels~~]]		*DeCode was one of the levels TheMuteTroll used to expose [[Geometry Dash]] hackers like [[Noobas]] in his famous video.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=op_BdUabxlg</ref>
	[[~~Category:User Created levels~~]]		**The quote 'at 100% speed. Does this look possible to you?' captioned in the video became a meme.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=op_BdUabxlg&t=175s</ref>
	~~[[Category:1.9 Levels]]~~		*Anaban hacked DeCode and made it a free Demon. It was later reverted.
	[[Category:~~Ultra Easy Demons~~]]		*Flukester, a relatively unknown creator with some rated levels, made a remake of DeCode called FinalCode in [[Update 2.1]], and it became the 24th [[Weekly Demon]]. It is mostly easier than DeCode, but the iconic slow wave has frequent speed changes, making it harder than DeCode's original slow wave.
			*In 2019, a player named Noice on the Geometry Dash Forums jokingly declared 11 March to be 'International DeCode Day.'<ref>https://gdforum.freeforums.net/thread/61130/decode-day-today</ref> This event caught on in the community, with players now celebrating the occasion yearly.
			**[[Robert Topala\|RobTop]] has seemingly acknowledged the existence of DeCode Day, as he made DeCode the Weekly Demon on 11 March 2021.
			*[[spaceuk]] beat DeCode as his first Demon, before [[Windy Landscape]], Leyak, and [[Wasureta]].
			*Russian Geometry Dash YouTuber DeCody got the idea for his nickname from DeCode, using a portmanteau of the level's name and iconic creator [[Cody]].
