- SNEAKING SWARM -  
  
THIS IS THE SLOWEST ATTACKING FORMATION ROCKFORD HAS EVER SEEN - BUT STILL, IT'S AN ATTACKING FORMATION, SO ROCKFORD HAS NO TIME TO HESITATE!  
  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
  
THIS CAVE DEMONSTRATES THE slowest known dancing fly formation (dff), which needs 25 frames to move one step upward. it is the first dff which was discovered by computer search, programmed independantly by  nesdori  and my brother (while i told him the relevant bd rules). there's still no official name for the dff, i called it "three busy bees" in my first demo cave (see database), but "soaring-25" would be fitting as well :d  
  
classic bd themes:  
ΒΒΒ and ΑΑΑ mixture (bd1-a, c, bd2-l, p)  
  
other themes:  
dancing fly formations  
speedrun  
  
difficulty: 2/10 (easy)  
  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
  
thematic colour: erin (135 degrees on the colour wheel)  
  
colour 1 (ΓΓΓ): 100% saturation, 25% value  
colour 2 (ΕΕΕ): 100%, 100% (purest form of erin)  
colour 3 (ΔΔΔ): 100%, 50%  
  
again in this cave, there's no ΔΔΔ but the colour 3 is still much present. it's part of the ΖΖΖ and ΗΗΗ colour and, above all, it's the colour in which the ΒΒΒ and ΕΕΕ glitter. in classic caves, colour 3 is usually very bright, often white, so here you can clearly see the visual effects if that colour is darker than colour 2 - the ΒΒΒ and ΕΕΕ don't seem to glitter, so the whole cave looks a lot darker.  
  
etymology of the colour name "erin": named after the splendid greenery of ireland ("erin" is an old word for ireland).  
  
oxford definition: i didn't find one - the only entry of "erin" is as a girl's name.
