recently someone made a tile called live freeze im actually quite curious on how they made it.. did they use specific apps or did they edit game files? if they did...... how did they put it ingame and tested it on their servers

how do you make one? or how does it work

Inkscape or another vector imaging program I guess.

If you mean the graphical aspect, then a vector program like deen suggested is right.
However the new live-freeze tile is a gameplay element and thats only possible with new/altered code.
You can find the source code at https://github.com/ddnet/ddnet, clone it and add/change whatever you want. After that you could create a pull request and hope that its accepted. Unfortunately it takes quite some time to get familiar with the codebase and you need decent skills in (i guess) C to actually contribute there :o

Thats the pull request for live freeze on github: https://github.com/ddnet/ddnet/pull/4573
Just to get an idea where it came from.

i see im actually planning to take on computer science so ddnet would be a good place to test things that i learned but since f2f still illegal in my country i still have to wait
