run, rockford, run! certainly you'll grab just one \ before the slime swallows it! i mean, there are so many! just run as you never ran before!

 krissz  i need a invincible mode, because this cave is impossible! i can't grab any diamond even if i run as hard as i can!

clever idea! :D  
  
 dustin , did it take you a long time to experiment with this? it's "so close" so i think it wasn't pure coinsidence to get it right :)  
  
actually, this reminds me of an old idea of mine for very extreme cave. i never published it because it would have been quite impossible few years ago. it may still be, but nowadays someone will at least figure out how to do it in theory. so maybe it's time to publish it now.. :)

 shredder , i got 40\ and  Arno  got 43\ with his best run so getting just one shouldn't be that hard :D

i couldn't hold back with this comment ;)   
  
i'm curious as hell about your 'not ready' cave :)

 nesdori , thx :) i was actually very lucky. i discovered the effect just yesterday and when i made the cave, the slime was very friendly to me :)  
  
i think it's the perfect time now for your cave! :D  
  
 shredder , invincible mode would help indeed, even without faster speed :D

or even noclip mode, which i can use to go through the ti-walls ;)

it's actually no coincidence that this works as it works, and it's easy to build similar caves if you know what you're doing.   
  
in bd2-e, if you get crushed above slime so that 3 slimes disappear, some | and \ will never fall through the slimes afterwards. that's the exact same effect. i don't want to give the solution away yet, if you want to figure it out for yourself. one hint:  Arno 's analysis of the c64 rng play an absolutely decisive role here! :D
