darkstoorm: yup, the gamescom is a yearly event in cologne, germany. this year, it will be from aug 20-24.
i've never been there before, actually. i don't consider myself an especially great player either, but it might be possible for me to go there this year. independant of the competition, it'd of course be great to meet someone from our community there! just a rough idea so far :d

25-04-27 17:48DarkStoorM

krissz, Rob Gilbert: That's a local event in Germany (I think), right? I won't be able to attend, sadly :(
Still Would be fun to watch though if anyone records it!

25-04-27 17:28Rob Gilbert

Personally I'm definitely not good enough to compete at that level, but If either darkstoorm or nesdori joined, I'm pretty sure we'd have a winner FROM THIS community :D

25-04-27 09:03krissz

I got this question:
"We are considering to host a Boulder Dash World Champioship at this years gamescom exhibition. Do you think within your Boulder Dash fan group we could find great Boulder Dash players who would be interested to join the competition?"
So, anybody?

25-04-15 10:15altermaven

"do not deviate too much from the original plan." that's all I am saying..

25-04-12 13:58dustin

krissz, i know i'm quite late with this, but i would participate in the bd 40th beta testing too (if my old laptop can take it - worth a shot, i guess)! :)

25-04-11 13:57darkwood

Hi!
krissz, if this is still relevant, I would like to participate in the beta testing of the BD 40th edition
P.S. it seems that the problem with ISP routing and my online access to this site was resolved on April 9th, so far it works without VPN. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

25-04-03 06:47kozelX

i am very interrested too, thank you

25-03-25 21:14krissz

kaosikon, I have lost your email address. Please write me something to info@krissz.hu and I will send the details about bd 40th.

25-03-24 20:21kaosikon

Boulder Dash 40th anniversary version? Definitely interested! Looking forward to hearing more about it! :-)

25-02-02 14:14heywood

i can absolutely verify that i would be interested. :)

25-01-31 18:33altermaven

I cannot verify nor deny my position here.

25-01-31 16:05krissz

Would any of you be interested participating in the beta testing of the Boulder Dash 40th Anniversary version? Or even making caves into it?

24-12-30 16:09altermaven

will there be a finale for 2024? I just did 22 of them, if you haven't known ;)
see you on the flipside!

24-11-13 18:19dustin

a new episode about dancing fly formations is on Arno's site! it's about the following caves:
"a nest of 7 fflies" by nesdori
"dff 33 a nest of 2+5n ΖΖΖΖ" by me
have fun :d

24-11-01 16:47altermaven

wonder how "crowded" the doubled version of cave K will be ;)

24-10-18 14:05altermaven

oh snap, we got contacted by someone at BBG in the forums. And he seems very impressed by our community. I hope he does us justice with boulder dash 40th :)

24-10-06 22:36dustin

for dff fans
------------
episode 20 of the dancing fly formation thread at Arno's forum is out! it includes a detailed explanation of the following caves:
| my caves "dff 30-32"
| nesdori's older cave "new 6-fly dff:s"
it's quite a long article - enjoy it :d

24-10-05 12:50altermaven

more b-sides monday.

24-09-26 09:46altermaven

oops, I forgot to add the titlecard to dangerdash 4. that's been fixed.

24-09-26 01:13altermaven

Dangerdash vol.4 was released. bdgb push soon. it's late. pillow soft.

24-09-10 23:14altermaven

Removed 09C while I figure out something else.

24-08-29 20:12altermaven

We never did make a name for the "T" structure that uses the amoeba and slime to restrict amoeba change, did we?
let me call it the "t-strike". The reason I use 'strike' is because a strike is often used as a penalty term, and activating this mechanism 'strikes you' for doing so, by making the firefly smack the voodoo.

24-08-23 15:46altermaven

Taken down the "t" in the method series since I'm just going to retool the entire cave, which would warrant for more than just an edit
this means I will be pulling another name out of the bag

24-08-02 17:04dustin

for all fans of dancing fly formations:
---------------------------------------
after 4 years of pausing, a new episode in Arno's forum thread "dancing fly formations explained" is published! enjoy it :)

24-07-09 01:56altermaven

if any of the caves from the "factor" series is to be purposed in videos, just use the subtitle or list it as "factor: (name)".

24-05-26 17:46altermaven

repurposing the current stripes dx because I didn't like how things progressed in diagonals.

24-05-06 02:20altermaven

in re: prismatic hue shift series.
The minimum shift in hue to trigger representation of primary and secondary colour is 6 (by incrementing hue value by 60). However, there are certain nuances when it comes to drawing more specific colors out of the spectrum in terms of shifting.
the maximum amount of shifting in canonical steps is 24, which is double the resolution of what I went with (a 12-slice, or a 30-step). I say canonical step, because it includes both the teritary (30-step) and secondary (60-step) colors in position.
However, it is theoretically possible to commit a 18-slice (20-step) when designing hue shifts, but it isn't canonical because we bypass the odd-numbered tens going between secondaries. IT does make for a more subtle flow without having to commit to granularity, though.
Something I should test when I get back into designing caves. I'm on hiatus right now.
(this blurb may or may not be influenced by one of dustin's posts about an upcoming caveset ;) )

24-03-28 00:10altermaven

you don't really need 8khz for precision in bd, 1khz rate is more than enough. the only time you would want more precision is for the people who play games at 144hz+, and I'm very certain this isn't the demographic.
plus, those keyboards tend to be rather expensive for the package.

24-03-27 21:47DarkStoorM

darkwood: to be honest, 1khz is more than enough unless you plan on playing very fast caves. Whenever I play BD, I just take my 1khz keyboard, because on regular 125hz you will lose inputs, which is annoying :D
I also have a bluetooth 60hz keyboard (1khz wired), and it's even worse :D
To give you a reference, on fastest BD cave speed, you don't lose any inputs on 1khz, I also tried on my local clone with 14 speed, works perfect. 8khz is "an overkill" in my opinion - and probably a waste of CPu resources on slower machines

24-03-27 20:59darkwood

Good day, Community.
Is anyone considering the Wooting 80HE keyboard which the manufacturer claims supports True 8kHz Polling Rate not only on the USB-C port, but also on the keyboard PCB for better experience to playing BD?
https://wooting.io/wooting-80he
does anyone have any thoughts on this?

24-03-25 23:22altermaven

that sounds like no1's 16-game bd where you could pick "surprise me!" and it would pull caves from all from that disk. I am intrigued as to how that works.
(bd1-3 official w/ no one's patches, bd4 watson, bd5-9 pedro, boulderhead 1, and no1's 1-5 on that disk)

24-03-25 22:21dustin

hi, i have a question about how "delight bd" by no1 works.
as i understand it, there are 45 seperate "delight" games from no1, and then he published "delight boulderdash 1-2" which generates different caves every time it's played.
so if, for example, i start to play "delight bd 1", my first cave could be cave a from "delight 4", then next could be cave b from "delight 13", then cave c from "delight 7" and so on? do i understand that right?
it works similarly with "prima bd", i think?
thanks for help! :)

24-01-04 22:57dustin

happy new year everyone :)

24-01-01 19:31Piter

happy new year! hope it will be better than 2023 and worse than 2025 ;-)

24-01-01 15:40darkwood

merry christmas and happy new year!

23-12-31 23:57DarkStoorM

Happy new Year from Poland! Another banger year with the BD community :D

23-12-31 12:59altermaven

Correct. option P just creates a randomizer of caves, and that randomization of caves remains as long as the game persists. but in the no1 16 format, each game has five levels (as opposed to the standard 1-level that no1's caves and boulderhead had).

23-12-30 19:54dustin

ah, that's how it works, thx altermaven! so then it's still true that "game p" has no own caves.

23-12-30 08:55altermaven

No, option "P" will shuffle caves from all the games listed. this means cave A could be BD3/a, cave B could be No1-3/B, Cave C could be BD9/c, etc...

23-12-29 19:55dustin

happy holidays, and hopefully you all had happy xmas! :d
i have a question about no one's 16 bd game:
am i right that if game p is chosen in the title screen, then a random game from a-o is chosen? so there are actually "only" 15 bd games in this compilation?

23-12-24 21:09DarkStoorM

Happy HOlidays! ;D Another banger year for ^

23-12-24 10:47altermaven

happy holidays from the alchemyst. be safe out there.

23-12-24 08:15enrico

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you and your loved ones.
...and Rockford forever!

23-12-01 13:00altermaven

don't know what I would do for season festivia III, but all I know is that it probably won't be another tree.

23-11-03 09:36altermaven

dangerdash 3 had a minor update, I've adjusted "nambulite" to have the same less-intense red as the b-side of the cave on this site. that way, it won't be as much of a sore now, even though the levels don't last long.

23-11-03 01:33dustin

Kozelx: yes, why not? that'll surely be interesting! :)

23-10-30 16:56kozelX

i should konvert more caves from rox, there are plenty of good ideas

23-10-30 09:53Arno

my pleasure; i like the cave a lot! :-D

23-10-29 19:49kozelX

great Arno !

23-10-26 12:26altermaven

Taking a break before I post the M-z flips, about two weeks, due to other things going on. so dustin can keep with the no one's boulder updates :)

23-10-23 16:45altermaven

the following minerals from add3 will not be repeated since they were represented during this site's version of minerals a-z, and that they were duplicates (and b-sided respectively):
| indicolite
| quartz
| ussingite
| xonotlite
| yugawaralite

23-10-22 11:07altermaven

I have a better idea for the b-side to "halite", I just need to build it. but I wanted everyone to see the unique gimmick to the "h" in add3 :)

23-10-20 22:56altermaven

that was one of several games I had access to growing up so I figured I'd give pointers about that game :)

23-10-20 21:58dustin

altermaven: YOU'RE WELCOME :) ALSO, THANKS FOR YOUR HINTS ON "impossible mission". :)

23-10-18 19:15darkwood

nesdori, thanks! have a LOGITECH KB WITH CHERRY MX BROWN SWITCHES, SO IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO COMPARE THEM WITH THE ROMER-G SWITCHES...

23-10-18 17:30nesdori

darkwood, logitech g810 (usually :)

23-10-18 15:42darkwood

nesdori, please tell which keyboard you use to play bd?

23-10-13 13:22altermaven

thanks dustin for nagging revvv about the inclusion of dangerdash 3, i was just about to do that, but i see i don't have to :)
for the people here: i will eventually get add3 pushed here but with the exception of the caves that were effectively cloned due to the minerals a-z. but these versions are going to be slightly different, as a nod to the 'b-sides' edition of the very first alchemyst dig I pushed here.
talk about a throwback :D

23-09-27 19:49krissz

nesdori:
I had to implement the cycle perfect emulation for all of the chips (CPU, VIC, CIA chips) because this is the only approach what could work. The problems what you have noticed belongs to the sprite handling. I will rewrite this part completely. Every day I learn a lot (that's why I started to develop this emulator) so time to time I have to rewrite something. As I wrote in the info box this is a developer version yet.
I have to do lots of simplifications because of the enjoyable running speed but I do this by insane optimizations instead breaking the correct emulation.
Most of the problems are far-far deeper than the cycle perfect emulation. I have to handle the special cases of a special case of a special case... Mostly hardware bugs or unclear and undocumented timing issues... But this is an amazing project I think.
Yes, the last few months was completely crazy for me. Currently I know ten times more about the C64 than 4 months ago and I feel like who absolutely doesn't know anything. :)
The plan is the following:
- fixing these annoying and inscrutable issues
- implement the 1541 drive emulation and D64 handling
- experimenting with WebRTC for online multiplayer gaming
All:
If you have an idea how can I take the advantages of the online platform for this emulator, I welcome your feature requests!

23-09-27 11:24nesdori

krissz, great job with the emulator! :) especially if you started from scratch are made all of this in two months :O
you probably are already aware of this but there seems to be vic-ii emulation related quirks in some games. for example, sprites in "exploding fist" shouldn't have empty raster lines between them. i wonder if this has something to do with the "badline" raster line emulation. do you emulate vic-ii workings cycle by cycle during the bad lines and emulate the state of eac-, address- and irq buses cycle wise or do you use some kind of simplication to deal with the bad lines?

23-09-26 01:24altermaven

dustin: the goal of impossible mission is to search furniture for 36 fragments of punch cards, which then must be assembled, 4 at a time, to create the "password" that opens up the control room so you can stop the professor from setting off a nuclear bomb.
game starts at 12:00, ends at 6:00.
Connecting for hints regarding the punch cards spends 2 minutes.
Dying spends 10.
you can also get "passcodes" from searching:
- snooze: disables all robots in the current room for about 2 minutes.
- lift init: resets all lifts in the current room to their starts.
One room has a "soundboard" puzzle that you must repeat in increasing pitch. This is optional, and serves to give you bonus snoozes and inits.
good luck, agent.

23-09-25 22:11dustin

krissz: very nice :d i randomly tried the game "impossible mission" but i had no idea where to go haha :d

23-09-25 14:19krissz

Piter: you can turn off the sticky key "feature" easily.
The ctrl key would be worst because some of the browser shortcuts are hardcoded and I can not handle. For example in two player mode the second player uses the WASD keys then the ctrl+W together close the browser tab...
The SPACE key is also reserved by lot of C64 games... The ALT key is handled by the Os...
Considering all of these, I decided that the SHIFT keys are the safest.
But anyway, you can configure.

23-09-25 14:11altermaven

if you are having trouble with sticky keys, the option to turn that off is in windows accessability.

23-09-25 13:51Piter

of course it turns on sticky keys, not off.

23-09-25 13:50Piter

krissz, very nice :-) what i would change is default right shift as fire. If you play on windows it turns off sticky keys when you press it consecutive few times. better would be right control :-) besides that i am truly impressed! great work!

23-09-25 12:04enrico

thanks krissz!

23-09-24 08:55krissz

Few months ago I start to develop a new Commodore 64 emulator for web browsers from scratch in native javaScript. It is under development but I have published so everybody can use it:
https://ty64.krissz.hu/
Also, I have created more than 200 game pages (based on this emulator, except my few old javascript remakes). The list of the available games is growing day by day, here is the index:
https://c64.krissz.hu/online-playable-games/
Just click and play. Have fun!

23-09-23 17:10dustin

thanks for the link Kozelx! :d

23-09-22 18:39kozelX

dustin: no problem
rox is very nice, but little different rules
there is my web with all caves maps and downloads
https://kokes.krcma.cz/rox/

23-09-22 00:33dustin

Kozelx: sorry for spelling your name wrong.

23-09-22 00:32dustin

enrico: that can sometimes happen. i once accidently uploaded a cave with more ΑΑΑ required than available, and my first gdash game had unplayable level-5 caves because i didn't test them properly (greetings to american action) :d (everything fixed meanwhile)
kozalx: i didn't know that game, but it looks very interesting, and freeqare, cool! thanks for the hint, i'm gonna try it out :d
everyone: since kozalx just uploaded more than 10 nice classic caves from Firefox, should i still upload no one 11 this weekend, or do you think it's enough classic caves for this week? any opinions? :d

23-09-21 18:32kozelX

does anybody here try safrosoft Rox game ?

23-09-20 16:01enrico

thanks darkstoorm, every now and then I fall asleep!

23-09-20 15:32DarkStoorM

enrico, I think for now the best way is to just check the "last commented caves", which will be at the top when new comments appear

23-09-20 12:00Piter

enrico no need to apologize :-)

23-09-20 00:10enrico

Tonight I read messages for the cave krissz torure dash 3 flip v. It was a coincidence because I had the wrong line in selecting a cave.
Without that mistake the answer would not have been there for a long time or perhaps never, and sorry when for a mistake in the construction phase the cave becomes unplayable.
Wouldn't there be a possibility to recall the title of the cave for which there is a new message with a flashing flag next to the title?
Thank you as usual for your attention. A warm greeting.

23-09-15 17:56altermaven

Dangerdash 3 will use rgb colours, which is a departure from the normal c64 nature, since I needed more flexibility in designing the colour schemes. You'll understand once the caveset takes form :)

23-09-07 10:11dustin

:)

23-09-03 09:13enrico

Two words to express a sincere thanks to krissz for the commitment with which he carries on this wonderful site. And thanks without distinction to all those who with their creations give us daily moments of serenity and high-level mental exercise. Have a nice day, friends!

23-08-30 12:11dustin

news for everyone who didn't know yet:
gdash has been ported and a lot of improvements are currently made. a lot of things have been fixed/ improved already, and there're also discussions about further improvements running at github.

23-08-14 15:59Rob Gilbert

My webspace provider informed me that they will replace the old servers to new ones. Because of this scheduled process I will shut down this site from 14.08 20:00. You can came back the next day after I finished all of the tests on the new server. I hope everything will be fine.

23-07-25 00:56dustin

technical question (nesdori? krissz?):
if the ΙΙΙ permeability is 3, then which bits are used to determine whether the Ι is active or not each frame?
thanks :)

23-07-21 14:26dustin

cool! :)

23-07-21 11:41krissz

dustin: I've created a new collection.

23-07-19 23:50dustin

krissz, in the "no one's boulder" collection, our caves are mixed. i think it would look nicer with different sorting criteria, for example according to authors or according to uploading date :)

23-07-14 23:14dustin

thy Piter :)

23-07-14 14:33Piter

and dustin - best wishes to you for becoming the greatest level creator ;-)

23-07-14 14:32Piter

darkwood, yes i know and like robbo very much. it is a polish game written by janusz pelc in 1989. one year later level editor (robbo konstruktor) was made and similarly to bd alot of un-official versions had been created (of course not as much as bd). it's very nice game :-)

23-07-13 21:57dustin

darkstoorm, me neither, but i've heard good things of them, so i thought it'd be worth the effort to search them through for interesting caves :)

25-04-28 21:52DarkStoorM

Oh wow, they actually are all in gdash too, mixed with other games too, not sure they are related, e.g. "Brutalo_Boulder", "Gerd_Boulder" (we have those here), "Null_Bock", and "Rockford_"a-j.
I knew I saw this name somewhere :D haven't played the caves though, so it will be fun

25-04-28 21:31dustin

while uploading so many no1 caves, i thought some alternation could be a good thing. and i couldn't find a single profi boulder cave in the database although this traditional game series has no less than 119 games! so now i'm going to upload them all!
...
...
or at least i pick out some caves which look especially interesting to me. the series has a lot of challenging caves, which i think is a good contrast to no1's mostly very playable caves.
this one is profi boulder 2, cave b.

the back to back message "placing rocks in the dirt" and "placing dirt in the rocks" may seem nonsensical, but they are actually messages that occur when generating a world in "terraria". it populates the dirt with stone, then softens the distribution of stone by overlaying it with dirt.
speaking of which, the prior cave "rocks in the dirt" uses dirt as initial fill, whereas this one "dirt in the rocks" uses boulder as initial fill.
this was intentional ;)

the original is basically releasing three ΖΖΖ by snapping and fleeing while they chase Κ closely. now, we still have ΖΖΖ in narrow spaces, but they're more controllable. on the other hand, the Ν now being inside the labyrinth means that a kind of escape challenge is added at the start.

there are several medium changes that add up:
| visual change
| random ΒΒΒ density drastically reduced, which makes the cave much easier to explore;
| the middle ΛΛΛ was moved and is now much easier accessible (in the original, it seems easiest to ignore that ΛΛΛ completely, but in no1's version, it's practically required for enough ΑΑΑ);
| the requirement is reduced (but due to the density, there are also fewer ΒΒΒ to convert!)
| and the ΛΛΛ timer is hugely increased, making the transformations much less hectic.
still, i think none of these changes is so huge that a higher rating would be appropriate.

the new space around the ΗΗΗ considerably changes the escape challenge at the start, also Κ now releases all the ΗΗΗ together instead of snapping them free one by one.

this time i believe my solution is the intended. after doing logic reductions (and verbal reductions from dustin's comments :) there's basically just one solution option left.

the left side is totally changed, so that Κ no longer has to make a blast to have enough ΖΖΖ. also, most of the ΖΖΖ are now together, which might turn out to be difficult to handle. on the other hand, these ΖΖΖ were harder to release in original.

however, if you make a upper measure so you can pre-fill the bowl and then drop them in using layers of slime, it *shouldn't* be as unfair!

25-04-20 21:04altermaven

The concept is not new (see 22 3F "another refill!" and 3F.2 "Make it a smoothie!"), but this is one of these puzzles where the bin is open and you're pushing a light from right to left, as opposed to a standard from left to right.
As for filling gaps, you'd need to be very careful about how you designate them. I find using exactly enough butterflies to make the requisite \s to be too problematic and uncontrollable to be doable.

25-04-20 16:13dustin

that's a very cute little idea! i mean, i've seen caves where ΑΑΑ are needed to fill such a basket, but these ΑΑΑ coming from ΗΗΗ is new to me. and the idea has potential to become very challenging if all ΑΑΑ are needed to fill the basket :d

there are several small/medium changes which in sum lead me to this middle rating:
| space was added around the ΖΖΖΗΗ, such that they're easier to release, but on the other hand, they can now only be released together.
| the Θ has more growing space, making it slightly easier to fulfill the requirement.
| the Θ time is reduced, effectively giving more time for the cave.
| and, last but not least, the striking visual difference.

other than in original, the Λ is now necessary to reach the requirement because the ΘΘΘ is usually too fast for other solutions (unless i overlook something). this requires Κ to have the idea that there is a Λ in the cave in the first place!

there are two considerable changes:
| the ΖΖΖΖΖ and ΒΒΒΒΒ have been moved, such that the ΖΖΖ can be released without snapping. on the other hand, they can now only be released together and they also have become more numerous, so that they tend to annoy Κ more while he tries to blast the ΔΔΔΔΔ.

ok, i actually overlooked something quite simple - the way how the Η is exploded by the top-left Β. should be easy to fix with a voodoo, though. prepare yourselves for level 2...! :d

25-04-23 18:32dustin

ok, guess it's time, there haven't been any new attempts the last few days. now i'm curious if the intended solution is among yours, and if i can fix the whole thingy ;)

25-04-17 20:36dustin

ok :d on second thought, i think i intentionally kept this extra option because i didn't see a way to make use of it anyway :d

25-04-17 20:28nesdori

dustin, no pushes :)

25-04-17 20:09dustin

nesdori, darkstoor, are you pushing the top-left and/or top-right Β in your solutions? 'cause the intended solution doesn't, and i just noted the unintended possibility to blast two ΑΑΑ jails at once with pushes. in that case, the cave could be simply fixed with heavy ΟΟ :d

25-04-16 22:27dustin

nesdori: ok, i'll see if i can fix that once the demos are revealed.

25-04-16 21:26nesdori

my solution uses a cso trick for speedrun purposes but the cave can be also solved without using any cso tricks.

25-04-16 12:16dustin

here comes the cso puzzle for april! :d
this is one of the harder ones, i guess, including some plausible but not working approaches and open border effects. it took me quite a while until the final version was ready, and i hope that the intended solution stays the only possible one. i'm curious! :d

in the original, Κ is trapped together with the Θ because there are additional blocking ΔΔ. this adds an escape challenge requiring timed explosions. here, without this extra challenge, the cave is a lot easier.

in the original, the short ΘΘΘ time seems to make it impossible to crush the ΖΖΖ with the ΘΘΘ; instead, it seems to be better to trap the Θ for enough ΑΑΑ. no1 lowered the ΒΒΒ density which makes it a lot harder, if not impossible, to trap the Θ; on the other hand, he increased the Θ timer so now it's possible, and surely simplest, to lead the ΖΖΖ to the Θ. so the best solution method has changed completely.

there are basically two clear simplifications:
Α the requirement is reduced from 60 to 40. especially if Κ works with "semi-efficient" ways to crush the ΗΗΗ, this can make quite a difference.
Α the pieces of empty space are new and make it easier to release and escape the ΗΗ, especially in that narrow space.

no1 has changed the random seed, removing a very tricky escape challenge at the start. on the other hand, no1 took more than 20secs away from the timer, considerably increasing the time pressure on Κ.

among other changes, there are two bigger ones:
| the Ν is no longer inside the cave border. this makes the original very unique because it plays with a bd1 engine bug and adds an extra puzzle element to the cave. with this extra feature removed, the cave looks now pretty standard. so this is the main reason for my high rating.
| also, as usual, no1 gave the bottom-left Ζ some space to move. in the original, chances are 50/50 that when Κ frees that Ζ, it will follow him without gap and then crush him at the corner.

two difficulties have been removed or hugely simplified:
Α in the original, there's another Ζ at the end of the stairs, forcing Κ to release it then run upwards being chased;
Α the explosion challenge at the right side has been changed by removing a ΔΔΔ, adding two ΖΖ and reducing the requirement, so that some ΑΑΑ can now get destroyed in explosions without ruining the solution.

altermaven, are you referring to the original version by don pedro, with less time? yeah, that's true. that's why in the original cave "don pedro bd10 cave i", i increased the timer to make it playable here at this site.

a race between kites based on dancing fly formations (dff)!
from left to right:
flying kite
based on the dff "lifted Ζ-vortex" (episode 6 in Arno's forum thread)
speed: 5 frames per step
soaring kite ("fast" version, relatively speaking - still very slow) :d
based on the dff "one busy bee" (episode 22, coming soon!)
speed: 17 frames per step
soaring kite (slow version)
based on the dff: "three busy bees" (episode 19)
speed: 25 frames per step
if you solve this the intended way, Κ gets exactly the required amount of ΑΑΑ!

other than in the original, this version works "semi-automatic": Κ can wait until the ΘΘΘ kills a Η and converts, and then, while avoiding the remaining flies, Κ grabs just enough ΑΑΑ (at least this worked for me on several testing attempts). in the original, Κ has to release the ΗΗΗΗ himself and lead them to the Θ /the Θ alone wouldn't give him enough ΑΑΑ).

200Α run free! :d

25-04-06 13:21dustin

forgot to mention that of course the final bonus challenge, worth 10Α, is supposed to be the hardest. hadrig would probably have mentioned that ;)

25-04-06 13:14dustin

after Κ has solved his second exercise from professor gumblegore, he finds a giant mansion in the middle of nowhere. even the entrance door is five times his own size! Κ wonders who might live here. it must be a big, biiiiiig creature. as if to answer his unspoken question, a big, biiiiig creature approaches him.
"hi! how're yeh doin'? i'm professor hadrig. i'm a double-giant."
"ehm... hello, professor. i-"
"jus' call me hadrig. everyone does that."
"o- ok, mr. hadrig-"
"jus' hadrig."
"o-ok, hadrig. i- do i have to go into your... villa... to move on?"
"villa? ha ha." the double-giant chuckled. "that's jus' ma tiny little hut."
"hut. i see."
"looks cute, dunnit?"
Κ thought about what to say. he had many adjectives to describe this monstrous building, but 'cute' wouldn't be his first choice.
"it's... well, a bit dark, but... nice. definitely."
"yeah, ma little brother says that too. he thinks i should buy some fireplaces for it." he shrugs his shoulders. "but i like it as it is."
"i- i guess you have a puzzle prepared for me to solve, like professor mc donadall and professor gumblegore?" Κ wanted to change the topic.
"yeah. more than one, actually. they're inside. yeh can get 200Α!"
Κ's eyes widened. "wow!"
"but i don' think you can get'em all. especially my name puzzle is difficult if yeh wan' everythin'. that's why i require only 180Α to exit my hut again."
of course, that only motivates Κ to prove the opposite. he always loved challenges. "well, we will see!", he says to the double-giant.
"alrigh' then, good luck! some motivatin' music will play once you're in. i luv music."
"thank you." hadrig doesn't move out of the way, but Κ simply walks past him between his legs. with a determined expression, he slowly opens the colossal door...

no1 added all the empty space. the original solution - "walking up the stairs" - is unaffected and i think it's still the most apparent way to solve the cave. however, since the ΖΖΖ are connected now, some Κs will have different ideas including the release of one of the ΖΖΖ groups.

the original is a tricky explosion cave in narrow space. now, with the ΔΔΔ shortened, explosions can still be used for bonus ΑΑΑ, but they aren't necessary anymore for the requirement. the overall narrowness of the cave is still there, though, so avoiding all the ΖΖΖ can be a little bit tricky.

the original featured two very unusual explosions which, to my knowledge, haven't been seen in that form in any previous fancaves. these explosions are no longer necessary here. instead, Κ has to move the lower ΒΒΒΒ out of the way to get enough ΑΑΑ. (this is not true for this version at this site, where the ΛΛΛ bug doesn't exist so Κ can get enough ΑΑΑ without pushing.)

there are two big differences from the original, which simplify the gameplay considerably:
Α in the original, the ΖΖΖΖ have to be snapped free under quite dangerous conditions.
Α in the original, all Α are required, which makes a "pixel-perfect" extra explosion necessary.
however, in comparison to the previous three caves (which are all rated 8/10), the basic character of this cave remains unchanged (basically an explosion cave).

also this cave plays a lot different from don pedro's original:
| original: blasting your way through a 3-size ΔΔΔ
| no1 version: a kind of bd2-int1-ish cave where Κ has to somehow move the entire "building" in a way that the Ξ does not get destroyed (here at this site, with indestructible Ξ, the cave is basically very easy.)

ah, of course! the ΒΒΒ cannot fall sideways with just 1 gap in-between, that's why they accumulate and make it possible for Κ to sneak through from the right half to the left half. nice!
but nesdori, your longer solution is also cool :d

25-04-10 21:52dustin

ok, showtime! :d

25-04-08 12:26dustin

25-04-03 20:04dustin

btw it's 20Α in 9 sec, not 21Α in 109sec ;)

25-04-03 20:02dustin

heywood: :d
nesdori: well i had a 20Α solution very quickly, after roughly 5 attempts, but that solution is nowhere near a full ΑΑΑ run. it was a result of quick trial-and-erroring.maybe i just got "lucky" to find a working way so quickly, and the cave deserves a higher rating. in any case, my solution is not very hard to perform once you know what you're doing.
anyway, i'm definitely curious for the unlocking! :d

25-04-03 13:35heywood

i think getting all 27 is probably a 5/10, but doing so without being entombed forever warrants a higher rating. :)

25-04-03 11:55nesdori

dustin, well the answer is: all 27Α are possible :)
the required number of ΑΑΑ and your estimated difficulty level is quite surprising. i would say that getting 20Α is more difficult than 5/10 compared to the previous cave ratings. and in many cases, if you can get 20Α, you are on the track of getting almost all if not all ΑΑΑ. i'm really curious about your intended 20Α solution with just 5/10 effort :)

25-04-02 22:21dustin

(based on no1 16 bd game g cave n)
if i remember right, this is the first cave of the series based on a fanmade cave!
this is basically the situation after Κ deflected the ΖΖΖ and then does nothing until the ΘΘΘ converts into ΒΒΒ (an unlikely but possible scenario). i wonder how many ΑΑΑ are possible now!

the changed placement of the ΗΗΗΗΗ row subtracts and adds a lot of ideas here!
| in the original, we have basically a ΗΗΗ-ΘΘΘ explosion cave with speedrun elements because of the short ΘΘΘ timer.
| the speedrun is now cancelled because the ΗΗΗ are already in place. however, a new interesting effect, whether intended or not, can be seen here: if Κ does nothing, the ΘΘΘ may convert either into ΑΑΑ (likely) or ΒΒΒ (unlikely). in the latter case, the ΘΘΘ is trapped into exactly 200 pieces, so we see a trapped ΘΘΘ converting into ΒΒΒ because it's just overgrown!
the reason for this randomness is that if the leftmost and rightmost ΗΗ are hit directly by the ΘΘΘ, they generate three more ΑΑΑ than if the ΘΘΘ hits the second-left or second-right Η.so the total growing space for the ΘΘΘ can be 196, 198 or 200 pieces.

the original is a kind of "fake ΗΗΗ-ΘΘΘ-cave" because the Θ converts immediately at the first explosion. now, with the shorter Θ timer, it's kind of the opposite: Κ should wait for the Θ to grow out and it will soon convert into a lot of ΒΒΒΒΒΒΒΒΒΒ. also there's a new "fake solution" - if Κ just traps the ΘΘΘ, he will be a few ΑΑΑ short. all in all, i think the cave plays a lot different from the original.

among other changes, a Β is added next to the wall, which makes it unnecessary to push the other Β there, so it effectively gains time, which can make the difference because time is relatively tight in original cave.

the most striking change is the new long row of ΖΖΖΖΖΖΖ which changes a lot:
| rockford no longer has to push all the ΒΒΒ aside at the left.
| rockford has enough ΖΖΖΖ for explosion, in the original there are only two ΖΖ for two explosions, one of which has to be lead to the explosion spot from afar and by snapping.
| on the other hand, of course, more ΖΖΖΖΖ make the cave also more dangerous.
furthermore, the access to the Ξ has been made easier by changing a ΕΕΕ into ΔΔΔ.
all in all, the gameplay is very different from original!

only the timer is increased by 20 seconds, so there's slightly less time pressure.

in the original, the ΘΘΘ conversion has to be timed very well, such that Κ gets enough ΑΑΑ and also has enough time left to collect them. in no1's version, the ΘΘΘ times is heavily reduced, giving Κ effectively more time, such that this challenge is far more relaxed.

the ΘΘΘ/ΛΛΛ timer was heavily increased, which makes it a lot less time-troubling for Κ to convert the Θ and then break the Δ. in addition to that, the colors have remarkably changed.

the extra column of ΓΓΓ at the right makes it more likely that the ΖΖΖΖΖΖΖ get killed automatically by the ΘΘΘ, making it easy to exit at the end.also, the increased timer is helpful, the original can be tight. finally, the cage of the left Θ is shortened.

also here, several changes were made at different places.
my main reason for the high rating is that three more or less difficult explosions at the right side, leading to the Ξ, are no longer necessary.
also, the way to the eight ΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑ at the left side is now a lot easier because a Β is added next to the ΔΔΔ and a lot of ΖΖΖΖΖΖ are removed.
the colors are also different, plus a few more small changes.

there are several small changes. imo the most effective change is that the ΖΖΖΖΖΖΖ at the top-right are surrounded by ΒΒΒΒΒΒ. with this, there are far fewer ΖΖΖ bothering Κ throughout the cave.
another change is that the Θ is no longer "pre-trapped", which means it is most likely converted by the ΛΛΛ now.
also the colors were changed.

in the original, the Θ is initially blocking Κ and often gets destroyed by one or two ΖΖ, then leaving Κ with the challenge to deal with the remaining ΖΖΖΖΖΖΖ. in no1's version, the Θ "autokills" many more ΖΖΖΖ before converting into ΒΒΒΒ, so Κ has to deal with much fewer ΖΖΖ afterwards, which he can often kill himself. that's quite a huge simplification.
(also, the requirement is reduced from all 6Α to 2Α.)

nesdori: and the answer iiiiiiiis... yes! :d
after checking your solutions and combining it with mine (which is different), i saw a 12Α solution fairly easily!
i won't reveal my solution yet, trying to make level 2 as hard as possible ;)

25-03-31 15:54nesdori

still just two different solutions after mine solution :) but nice solution Arno! i was looking for alternative solutions but i missed your solution. now i really wonder if even 12 is somehow possible..

25-03-31 15:38Arno

ah cool, at least 2 different solutions! ;-D

25-03-29 21:56dustin

Arno: the main reason why i did not include extra ΠΠΠ was that they might be abused for a solution where the extra Π is not converted but helps convert the others!

25-03-29 12:43DarkStoorM

I'm also curious, but I guess it's just how fast "the only" solution is executed :D double pushes might also come in handy

25-03-28 23:48Arno

At least you haven't made extra boulders for bonus score available, so i guess you were pretty sure that isn't possible? ;-)

25-03-28 20:18dustin

thanks Arno! :d i'm curious about that too, especially because i needed a while to figure out a solution for this version, and i was a bit surprised to see relatively many solutions in short time!

25-03-28 19:17Arno

Nice one! I'm curious if this rockoban puzzle has more than one solution! :-D

also in this version, many (not all) cave sections are on the same locations as in the original bd1 caves!

25-03-23 10:25dustin

this was my first version of "classic remakes 100". it has elements of all bd1 caves in it, on the other hand, it's surely more chaotic than the final version. still, i think some might value the completeness (classic remakes 100 has "only" caves a-l in it) over the sanity :d

my main reason for this high rating is the newly added ΖΖΖΖΖΖ line (instead of ΔΔΔΔΔΔ) in the top half. this means that Κ no longer has to blast his way free into the bottom half (which is a tricky, non-standard explosion in original), but instead, he must avoid a lot of ΖΖΖΖΖΖΖΖ in relatively narrow space to get down.

the most obvious change is the newly added random ΒΒΒ+space fill, which changes the solution method massively. in original, Κ has no weapons against the ΖΖΖ so he has to escape by digging a large tunnel, now he can just kill the ΖΖΖ. moreover, the line of ΖΖΖΖΖΖΖΖΖΖΖΖΖ is now split in two halves by a Β, meaning Κ has to deal only with a part of them.
other, smaller changes include adding more ΑΑΑ and moving the ΒΒΒ above the ΛΛΛ.

the south-east Ζ has gotten some space around it, so it must no longer be "snapped" free. usually i think this alone is worth a 3/10 rating because "Ζ snapping" is always dangerous, but in this case, it's not even necessary to deal with that Ζ at all.

the original is a kind of "fake" ΗΗΗ-ΘΘΘ-cave where the majority of the ΑΑΑ really comes from a double-conversion of the ΘΘΘ first into ΒΒΒ then ΑΑΑ. no1 made a "real" ΗΗΗ-ΘΘΘ-cave out of it thereby completely abandoning don pedro's unique idea. thus, this is one of the rare caves which get a rating above 7/10.

original cave: don pedro bd07 cave k
different from original: 4/10
hard to rate this one because it's quite special.
first of all, the fake Ξ next to the Ν is removed, which means Κ is no longer trolled. so far, so clear.
more interesting, however, is the fact that another fake Ξ at the bottom is also removed, which influences the behavior of the ΖΖΖ. this makes krissz's solution method of the original cave impossible, and nicol's variant much harder to perform! on the other hand, darkstoorm's solution of the original, which i believe to be more intended by don pedro, remains practically unaffected.
so it highly depends on Κ's favorite solution method if he notices any differences between the original and no1's version! :d
i highly assume that no1 always solved the cave like darkstoorm, so probably he didn't even realize that there were any significant differences (other than "de-trolling" the cave) :d

solution revealed! :d
these are the cso effects that can be seen in the solution:
| the Ζ entering the box before the Μ closes it (this can not be done on the other side!)
| how Κ safely passes the Ζ inside the box several times
| the way how the top-left Β crushes the Ζ by falling sideways (this one is quite common)
| and how Κ can escape the explosion range before the top-right Β would block him off.
nothing which hasn't seen before in this series, but that's also hard to achieve in episode 289 :d i think it's a nice combo of several cso effects in short time and narrow space!

25-03-17 22:06dustin

darkstoorm, i meant more my short overview about the polish flag in my initial comment when i wrote "i hope it's appropriate" ;)
but i think the cave is quite challenging too. my strategy is, after converting, to go from right to left to collect the "accent letters" first because they're most difficult to me.

25-03-17 15:45DarkStoorM

Well, converting the amoeba is easy enough, collecting the ΑΑΑ is quite hard :D unless there's some clever strategy

25-03-14 11:06dustin

Thank you dustin

25-03-13 22:45dustin

The origins of the "flaga polski" can be traced back to an old legend (see below).
Meaning of the colors:
(1) symbolic:
| white = water, spirituality, purity, inmaculacy
| red = fire, courage, bravery
(2) historic:
| The flag's colors are the Polish national colors, a silvery white and a purplish red.
| These colors are based on the national coat of arms, which shows a white eagle on red background.
| The coat of arms, in return, is based on a 1000 year old legend around Lech, the founder of Poland. That legend says that Lech, who had long been searching for a place to settle down with his people, saw a white eagle flying from its nest one evening, when the red sunset could be seen in the background. The view delighted him and convinced him to settle at this place - the city Gniezno, the first capital of Poland, was founded!
While Poland has no official motto, there are so many unofficial ones that I felt it's appropriate to show one of those. "za wolnosc nasza i wasza" means "for freedom - ours and yours". During the last two centuries, it has been (and still is!) used on numerous occasions whenever it comes to show unity in a struggle for independance and liberty ("our freedom"), or solidarity and assistance for other nations in doing so ("your freedom").

quite comparable to the previous cave h; in the original, the left ΔΔΔ has to be blasted as well as the right one, which means that Κ must not accidently kill both ΖΖ in one explosion because he needs them both, and also it's a bit tricky to push a Β to the left ΔΔΔ to do the explosion. in no1's version, all this is gone, and all that remains is a standard explosion and a trivial put-the-ΒΒ-out-of-the-way "challenge".

the major changes were made at the right side. in the original, Κ has to make a tricky explosion into a narrow vertical gap, losing two ΑΑ in the process if he isn't careful. in no1's version, all this is replaced by just one standard explosion.

no1 added another 10 ΒΒΒ in the cage. this can be helpful to either create a few more ΑΑΑ or to block the ΘΘΘ so it doesn't grow too high (note that on the c64 original, the ΘΘΘ can no longer be converted if it grows somewhere above the ΛΛΛ line!)

A lot of small changes in each of the four sections, many of them to avoid "Ζ snapping", add up to a considerable relax of difficulty.

the timer has increased from 40 to 50. on the first attempt, i find the original timer quite strict; once Κ knows where to go, it's not that strict anymore (that made the difference between this one and, for example, cave a where the original timer is still quite strict to me even if i know the cave.)

darkstoorm, i still think a remix is not necessary; should be enough time. 22 secs left with one Α less and certainly the run can be better planned and executed. I will try later.. :)

25-03-09 15:41DarkStoorM

nesdori, I think we need a remix of the original cave with more time now. I would love to see the max ΑΑΑ run :D :D
And dustin was right about a bonus discussion, I bet it was the plan all along ;)

25-03-09 15:03nesdori

darkstoorm, and now i realized something more; you can you butterfly to make the hole on the floor and at the same time eliminate the "disturbing Β". the hole can be on the center floor now because ΒΒΒ can be pushed over the Α platform. the butterfly is not necessary on the center section of the cave because Α can be dropped on the door of the central fly-structure anyway. so one more Α should be possible without any lucky pushes; the only thing to beat is the time limit :)

25-03-09 14:49nesdori

darkstoorm, .. and 681 solution was my original idea. 6Α without lucky pushes you have to deal with the "amoeba-gap" because there's not enough time to push all ΒΒΒ over it before conversion.

25-03-09 14:18nesdori

darkstoorm, my vision was almost the same, both requiring a single lucky push.

25-03-09 13:40DarkStoorM

nesdori, I had to visualize this, is this what you were thinking of? I added light Β to make the push after explosion easier

original cave: don pedro bd07 cave c
different from original: 5/10
i'm a bit uncertain about this one. the original has an infinite Θ timer, which means the Θ never grows faster. in my tests, i got a lot of timeouts before the ΘΘΘ even converted. but i did these tests on gadash because i got used to the better game control compared with the c64 original, so i'm not completely certain how the original plays, but gdash is in general a very good emulator, so i'think it's likely that i would get as many timeouts in the original as well.
based on that, don pedro's original requires to trap the ΘΘΘ in a way that it's not so much obstructed by ΒΒΒ so it suffocates as fast as possible.compared to that, no1's version - with a "normal" ΘΘΘ timer - does no longer have that specific challenge. beside that, both versions play very similarly.

quite impressive results! and it gives me a new idea for a cso/ puzzletopia cave :d

25-03-11 22:06DarkStoorM

Hehe, who would have thought that a simple cave would lead to a bonus Α hunt :D
Remind's me of dustin's Diamond Hunting series, but with a little bit more puzzling :D
Nicely done nesdori, it was fun watching and figuring this out!
Who knows, maybe the next one will also have more "hidden" bonus ΑΑΑ! :O

25-03-10 03:02nesdori

ok, i finally got one more Α (123Α total) using the "butterfly hole" technique with no lucky pushes which we discussed with darkstoorm on the remix cave commentary. it turned out that the amoeba conversion was still the biggest obstacle; i failed many times because the amoeba was growing too quickly. there's actually plenty of total time left. in fact there's so much time that i wonder if dustin hid one more Α somewhere.. :)

25-03-09 11:01nesdori

darkstoorm, my original plan was to use one of upper | on the upper left room to explode one | and then it would have been possible to push 4 ΒΒΒΒ instead of 2. but the problem with that is you have to visit the amoeba before pushing all the ΒΒΒ. then you need 2 lucky pushes per Β to get over the gap and i estimated that usually two ΒΒ remains on the left side of the gap so the probability to do that is 1/256. maybe with some luck and good execution sometimes just one Β and 1/16. but when i saw your solution i realized that it's possible to do a hole using a lower Β to explode it and get three ΒΒΒ to be pushed.

25-03-09 10:42nesdori

darkstoorm, i was talking about exploding a hole on the upper left room corner so that Κ can access amoeba without first pushing all the ΒΒΒ. with the explosion it's possible to push 3 ΒΒΒ instead of 2 from the upper left room and it's just a race against the total time and not the amoeba conversion time. i think that with good planning the time shouldn't be a problem.

25-03-09 02:26DarkStoorM

Ahhh, nesdori I think I see it, it's on the triple ΒΒΒ below ^, right? You snap the dirt on the bottom Β and push it out from the left? Probably requires insane luck to push all Β first before Θ suffocates :D

25-03-08 15:56heywood

wow, hats off!

25-03-08 14:45nesdori

now that i saw darkstoorm's solution i realized that one more Α and 18300+ score is indeed possible :)

25-03-08 13:01heywood

demo time? i'm keen to see the 17k score solutions!

25-03-08 11:58dustin

hehe, i was wondering if such bonus discussions would come ;)

25-03-08 00:22DarkStoorM

nesdori: I had to sacrifice two for three, but with more time I would just get +1 equal to your score :D

25-03-08 00:15nesdori

darkstoorm, my solution is actually a compromise; my original idea had one Α more. +1Α would be possible if the amoeba will be slow for a longer time :)

25-03-07 23:52DarkStoorM

nesdori always finds a waY :D :D

25-03-06 10:18dustin

for the jubilee, i tried to put as many consecutive bd1 caves into one normal-sized cave as possible :d
i also have a version with a l l bd1 caves, but that one is more chaotic. that's probably going to be episode 101 ;)
the cave may be harder than it looks!

i've often been wondering why the italian flag is so similar to the french one, but i wouldn't have thought that doing research for a bd cave would give me the answer one day...! :d
the italian flag originates at the time of the french revolution and was highly inspired by it. that's why the flags are very similar.
meaning of the colors:
green:
| the green goes back to the color of the milan militia at that time.
| also, green was the favorite color of the demonstrators in paris, symbolized by a green leaf. that was only two days before the french revolution started with the storming of the bastille!
| still today, the green of the italian flag is associated with nature, and metaphorically, also with the "natural" rights of freedom and equality for everybody.
white and red:

also, as mentioned before, the flag as a whole was inspired by the french revolution, thus it has basically the same origin as the blue-white-red french flag.

ah cool, i didn't note that whwn watching your run! That definitely adds to the cave's greatness!

25-03-04 19:38Arno

thanks! :-)
by the way: my run even applies an open-border-cso-effect, at 1:55, when ^ takes the bfly through the gate with one space in between. in fact, this trick necessary here, because without the extra space, in the next room the open border works against ^ in the sense that there is no way to escape the bfly (which would be possible without open border inside the room).

25-03-04 14:14dustin

and of course it's especially nice to see various cso effects in action, used as tools for a bigger puzzle!

brilliant! and this time, i was miles away from a theoretical or practical solution :d

thx! this was both fun and challenging to design. good to have confirmed that there are no solutions unintended by the author, or intended by the seekers of unintended solutions! ;-)

25-02-28 20:00dustin

but there's still a solution which is unintended by poor players who are looking for unintended solutions ;)

25-02-28 15:05nesdori

Arno, first you made sure that there are no bonus \\\ and then you fixed the only shortcut. that's nasty towards poor players who look for unintended solutions ;)

the original included an unusual "escape the room" challenge at the start which is now gone.that's my main reason for the high rating because other than that, the cave is pretty standard with a few "normal" explosions.
also worth mentioning is the fact that the ΖΖΖ are (once again) easier to handle than in the original, and the requirement was increased from 9 to 1Α, which means that the hidden ΛΛΛ might now convert too many ΑΑΑ if Κ is caught by surprise on his first attempt.

no1 added the complete top space row including the two extra ΑΑ (which are not required), which gives Κ and the Ζ much more space to manoeuver and thereby makes it a lot easier to avoid the Ζ.

there are more ΗΗΗ than originally, which makes it slightly easier to get enough ΑΑΑ. also there's another random seed.
what i find remarkable is that no1 has not set an extra Β next to the ΗΗΗ cage so that it's easier to release them!

my main reason for this high rating is that i think the main point behind don pedro's cave was to show all three "ΑΑΑ-making elements" in one cave: ΗΗΗ, ΘΘΘ and ΛΛΛ. no1 removed the latter, which abandons this idea.
however, without the ΛΛΛ the cave has also become significantly harder because it's easy to lose two ΗΗ in the explosions if the ΗΗΗΗ are too close together when crushed. in original, the necessary 20Α could then still be achieved by converting two ΒΒ. now, without the magic wall, Κ has to be more careful to get enough ΑΑΑ from the ΗΗΗΗ alone. (yes, Κ can trap all the ΘΘΘ, and I'm sure darkstoorm will do it, but that's even harder) :d
in addition to that, no1 also added normal ΔΔΔ and more ΘΘΘ which make the cave narrower and thereby still a bit trickier. so this is another rare case where no1's changes actually make the gameplay more difficult!

there are several changes which in sum make the cave considerably easier imo:
| the "pre-clearing" under the ΛΛΛs;
| an additional Β which makes it easier to blast Κ's way to the pre-cleared room;
| the increase of the ΛΛΛ timer which makes it easier to coordinate the use of both ΛΛΛs;
| the additional ΒΒ at the top-left ΖΖΖΖ, making it easier to release them if necessary;
| and the slight simplification to blast the ΔΔΔ to the exit.

the original has only 5ΖΖΖΖΖ arranged in a diagonal row, so they can be released one by one but Κ cannot use a | to release them. i don't even know which version is harder - the original where the ΖΖΖΖΖ are released by snapping or a cso trick (which is easy to perform if Κ knows it), or this no1 version where the ΖΖΖΖΖΖΖΖ are easier to release but tend to create a mess by moving around in the whole cave together. in any case, i find both versions significantly different. in addition to that, a rather tricky obstacle on the way to the exit is removed, leaving only two standard explosions to do to free the exit.

in the original, Κ is supposed to work his way through the cave and find a hidden Λ to get enough ΑΑΑ. no1 reduced the ΑΑΑ requirement, which now makes the cave look completely trivial and pointless.

the only change is the requirement, which is reduced from 14Α to 10Α (because it's a round number?) :d this simplifies the cave significantly; for example, 10Α shouldn't be too hard to get from the left ΛΛΛ alone.
btw i wonder why no1 didn't increase the ΛΛΛ timer. i guess that would have been a typical no1 16 bd change :d

glad to read that heywood :)
the cso effect here is of course the way how Κ brings the Ζ and the Η over the g-walls.
| for the Ζ, Κ can just let it follow him without gap.
| for the Η, this solution would not work because if a fly touches Κ from his left side, the fly would be scanned first and kill Κ. so here, the tricky stop-and-go solution is required. (this would also work for the Ζ, so for the Ζ two solutions are possible.)

Sure :D

the cso puzzle for february! :d
it's released as untested, but i did test it at lower speed to ensure that it works. so it's definitely solvable!
this one requires, beside the right theoretical plan, a considerable amount of keyboard control! :d

nesdori, i was already wondering if you'd be wondering that :d feel free to upload a version with more time and all ΑΑΑ required if possible, that'd surely be interesting!

25-02-13 12:34nesdori

i'm wondering.. given that there's enough time, is it possible to get all ΑΑΑ?-)

this is kinda comparable with the previous cave; again no1 rearranged the (upper) ΖΖΖ so that they're less in the way, and again, the rest of the cave is pretty standard. the reason for the lower rating is that Κ has a lot more space in the original to deal with the ΖΖΖ, so the simplification is not as grave as in cave g.

the original has an "escape the room" challenge at the start. no1's rearrangement of the ΖΖΖ completely removes this challenge. as the rest of the cave is pretty standard, i consider this to be a very big simplification. a lot of other, smaller changes were made, too. one of them is the new placement of the Ξ, which makes now two explosions necessary instead of one - one of the rare cases where no1 made a change to a d d difficulty! i guess he wanted to compensate just a little bit for the missing "escape the room" challenge :D

no1 made several changes, each of which make the cave considerably easier: he removed a lot of ΖΖΖ in the starting area, added a Β next to the ΖΖΖ in the sw, making them easier to release, and lowered the requirement from 25Α to 20Α.

in the original, the ΖΖΖ at Κ's left side are trapped, which means that Κ has to snap them free, and the cave scanning order is such that there's a 50/50 chance that Κ explodes without a chance to escape after the snap. So this change alone is a considerable simplification!

only the two were moved, but this makes the int now more or less trivial and boring, while in the original the Η had to be snapped free and also it was a little puzzle involved to not crush the Η on the edge (original requirement was 9Α).

original cave: don pedro bd06 cave d
different from original: 6/10
it's mainly the new arrangement of the ΗΗΗ that makes the cave much easier to me. in the original, Κ had a lot fewer space to deal with the ΗΗΗ, and also it was necessary to snap them free.
the ΑΑΑ requirement has been increased from 33 to 50, which doesn't make the cave that much harder imo (i guess no1 changed that because 50 is a rounder number once again
other than that, there are a few more minor changes in the cave and in the settings.

original cave: don pedro bd06 cave c
different from original: 2/10
close to 1/10; the requirement is reduced from 99 to 90Α, which makes a rather small difference with so many ΑΑΑ available. Also the scoring is changed.

original cave: don pedro bd06 cave b
different from original: 2/10
no1 removed one "fake outbox" above the start and reduced the ΑΑΑ requirement from 16 (max) to 15, probably because it's a nicer number again :D it might actually happen that one Α gets destroyed by an explosion by accident, although this seems very unlikely, but this is my reasoning to rate it 2/10 instead of 1/10.

game e
------
based on: boulder dash vi by don pedro (database search: "don pedro bd06")
caves with changes: 20/20
from now on, i won't list every single change by no1 in each cave any more because it's too much effort in the long run. i'm still gonna rate how different each cave is compared with the original, these are fun to make for me :D
about this cave:
different from original: 1/10
only the scoring was changed.

I am quite the autechre enthusiast. go back to the early 2021 caves, there's a series I did, autechre a-z :)

Unexpected AUTECHRE REFERENCE. love it.

25-02-05 12:52altermaven

as the naming implies, "flutter" is a flipside to am22 "djarum", which itself is a flip of am22 "lost". if there's any pattern to this, it is the fact that all three titles make up autechre's "anti e.p." released in 1993. I just added the final track.
"flutter" is programmed in such a way that (hopefully) no two solutions are exactly alike ;D

arrange the \ and | so they will act as fillers for the lights to pass through, but don't forget to scoop for the next spill. if all are not aligned by the fourth cup, ^ is in trouble!

how many diamonds can ^ conjure in this celebratory cave? the first 1200 points are easy, but the rest come with careful work and cautious movement. also notice a second message appearing as soon as you get your first 25\ below you. but the exit is not that easy!
looking forward to so much more.

and there's another note a few footsteps away from the first one. it reads:
"oops, i forgot to mention the seventh and final dancing fly formation! it's called:
swarm-Η8
have fun! prof. gg"
Κ smiles.

25-01-21 11:34dustin

Κ has solved his first exercise and made it past the gigantic chessboard. next, he faces a kind of base with a lot of flies who seem to be ready to move upwards. a note lies there at the entrance of the base. it reads:
"dear traveler who is witty enough to make it past professor mc donadall's chessboard! welcome to my dancing fly formation lab and launch base! you may proceed only if you manage to unleash all these ΖΖΖ and ΗΗΗ to get access to the ΑΑΑ! i also invented funny names for each of the formations.
from left to right:
bob and bobette (bnb)
lifted Ζ-vortex
lifted Η-vortex
lifted gear wheels
one busy bee
three busy bees
for those who manage to create and launch a bnb formation on their own, i prepared an extra chamber with bonus rewards!
happy launching!
all the best,
professor gumblegore"
"wow!" Κ marvels at the thought what a genius that professor gumblegore must be if he discovered all these... what did he call it... "dancing fly formations"! and he seems to be quite a nice person as well, given how friendly his note was written. full of curiosity, Κ walks into the base and wonders what these formations will look like once once he allows them to show their dances!

this was my original version of "double dash 2 intermission 3". i tried to solve it yesterday but after some fails, i deleted half of the ΖΖΖ. however, having seen krissz's demo, this cave now suddenly looks fairly easy to me :d
so this is a cave which can be very difficult or very easy, depending on whether Κ has a good plan how to do it :d
difficulty: 5/10

...and these are the cso effectsshown in this puzzle:
visible in the solutions:
| the way Κ avoids the Ζ in the se and sw corners
only appearing in fail attempts:
| the ΘΘ converting into ΒΒ without killing the Ζ if Κ does nothing at the beginning (maybe this is the first cso cave showing that one, but i'm not 100% sure) :d
| the Μ blocking the Α off before the Α can fall if Κ makes the Ζ explode above the Θ.

25-01-15 15:05dustin

one of my bd-related resolutions for 2025 was to upload one cso cave per month, so here comes the puzzle for january! :d
i have around 30 cso caves in reserve, most of them old ideas where i thought "nice idea, but looks like it could be improved". so i'm gonna check those again and see where i have new ideas to make these caves cooler! :d

required ΑΑΑ: 70 (50)
cave time: 150 (150)
honestly, this cave is not one of my favs of the game and it was one of the last caves i chose because technically it's just an ordinary trap-the-ΘΘΘ cave including the waiting time until the ΘΘΘ has suffocated. still, i haven't seen the disguise idea much in fancaves yet, so i thought it could still be an unexpected idea for the players! :d

cave m: leaky cauldrons
-----------------------
original cave: balderdash 96 (complement 5)
required ΑΑΑ: 45 (40)
cave time: 80 (150)
what's insteresting about this one: although the ΙΙΙ permeability is set identic to the gdash version, the ΑΒΑΒ fall way quicker here than in gdash. the funny thing is, i'm not sure if this makes the cave harder or easier! at first sight, it seems to be harder because Κ is in higher danger. but on the other hand, as there are still around 30 seconds left when everything has fallen through, Κ might get a few easy ΑΑΑ in the end. for the gdash original, i intentionally set the time limit so short that time runs out before everything has fallen through, to exclude exactly those easy ΑΑΑ at the end! :d

changes by no1:
| five ΒΒΒΒΒ were added in the first two rows (only one was already there in original).
\ this makes the explosion way easier to perform; in original, the eight diagonal ΒΒΒΒΒΒΒΒ at the left had to be used for that, now these are more or less pointless.
| requirement reduced from 41Α (maximum in original) to 35
\ this has two different simplifying effects: firstly, the ΒΒΒ above the ΛΛΛ are now sufficient, and secondly, there are still five bonus ΑΑΑΑΑ, which is highly relevant in the c64 version because Κ can easily lose ΑΑΑ during the conversion because of the bd1 ΛΛΛ bug (see also cave i).
| bonus score increased from 0 to 15.
\ unlike in the original, bonus ΑΑΑ are now available.
different from original: 7/10
some typical no1 changes which look small but have a big simplifying effect. everything that makes don pedro's original tricky and difficult is massively easier in no1's version: the tricky explosion, the idea to use an extra Β for the ΛΛΛ (which is no longer necessary), and the tricky ΒΒΒ conversion with the ΛΛΛ bug.
here at this site, where the ΛΛΛ bug is of course not existant, my rating for the difference between don pedro's and no1's version is 5/10.

changes by no1:
| massively increased the random ΑΑΑ density (from 10 to 74)
\ this makes it a lot easier to get out of the starting area.
| requirement increased from 18Α to 60Α.
\ that makes sense with so many more ΑΑΑ in the cave, and it still makes the cave easier because in original almost all ΑΑΑ were required while now the 60Α aren't a real challenge (once Κ has made it out of the starting area, that is).
| score changed from 10/10 to 2/4
\ if more ΑΑΑ are available, they should be worth fewer points.
different from original: 6/10
escaping the Ν area has become considerably easier, a further simplification is given by the possibility to destroy a lot of ΖΖΖ afterwards.

changes by no1:
| the horizontal ΖΖΖ line is a vertical line to the very bottom in original (interrupted by Ε three times.)
| the upper ΗΗΗ row was a diagonal line in original.
| and the lower ΗΗΗ row is a vertical line in original.
\ all the flies were directly in Κ's way in original and had to be released to get past. now all the flies are fairly easy to avoid, and especially the ΖΖΖ look pointless.
| the four diagonal ΒΒΒΒ which trap the Θ to the right were added by no1.
\ in original, the (vertical) lower ΗΗΗ line traps the Θ. now that these ΗΗΗ are arranged differently, the Θ would no longer be trapped without the extra ΒΒΒΒ.
| the ΘΘΘ and ΛΛΛ timer was changed from 20 to 4.
\ the ΘΘΘ now suffocates very quickly, before Κ can even reach it. if Κ tries to get a few more ΑΑΑ by the ΛΛΛ, he might be surprised that the ΛΛΛ runs so shortly.
| cave timer reduced from 250 to 210
\ unclear purpose to me
| requirement reduced from 75Α to 60Α
\ this is still effectively more than in the original because the Θ gives way less ΑΑΑ now, so Κ needs to get a few more ΑΑΑ either from a Η or from the ΛΛΛ.
| score changed from 10/5 to 3/5
\ makes way more sense now. firstly, the bonus score is now higher than the normal score, and secondly, Κ got more than one extra life only from the required ΑΑΑ in original.
different from original: 7/10
my reasoning for this high rating is that the most difficult thing in the original was to get past the many ΖΖΖ/ΗΗΗ blockades, which is now trivial. other than that, don pedro's intentions with the ΘΘΘ and ΛΛΛ are somewhat mysterious to me, as they don't seem to influence gameplay much.

original cave: don pedro bd05 cave m
changes by no1:
| random ΒΒΒ fill added
\ this makes it possible to strike the ΗΗΗ which are circling around the Ξ in the end. also, once again it makes it easier to release the ΗΗΗ because it can now be done without snapping.
| requirement increased from 39Α to 40Α
\ once again no1 prefers round numbers ;)
| score changed from 10/17 to 8/15
\ as usual, no1 optimizes the score such that Κ gets a reasonable amount of extra lives.
different from original: 4/10
the additional random ΒΒΒ have their impact; the requirement is considerably easier to get and the dangerous "snapping ΗΗΗ free" technique isn't required.

This is the most dangerous positioning:
ΓΚ
ΖΓ
If you snap left, you 100% die if Ζ moves up no matter what you do.
If you snap down, you still have a chance to move away if Ζ moves first (you can go left or up).
THis cave is one of the most perfect examples of this :D

25-01-11 19:00heywood

ah, thanks.
I think i prefer your solution, way less stressful. :)

25-01-11 18:29dustin

hexwood: yes, indeed. If the Ζ faces up or right, it will come out first, otherwise not. so chances are 50/50 every time (unless you count frames and snap the Γ in a frame when the Ζ faces down or left.)
btw, your run (as well as Rob Gilbert's) are the speedrun version, while the intended "safe" solution is shown in my run :)

25-01-11 15:32heywood

in situations like this sometimes the boulder moves first (= success) and sometimes the firefly moves first (= doom). does it just depend on which way the firefly is "pointing" when the dirt is taken?

cave l: six mix
---------------
based on: balderdash 124
...which is based on: am23 232 ussignite+
...which is based on: no one's boulder 4 cave c
:d
required ΑΑΑ: 200/223 (222/287) (note that not all the ΑΑΑ can be collected!)
cave time: 200 (222)
maybe this is the hardest cave of the game. the requirement is quite tough, so Κ must carefully grab as many ΑΑΑ as he can without burying them.

based on: balderdash 72

this one seemed to me to be too much based on chance to increase the requirement further.

aaaah yes, of course, that's nice! and nesdori had the additional idea "hmmm, why does the Α have to be converted first?" :d

25-01-12 14:14Arno

indeed, i set bonus\ points because i knew it was possible, without making the intended solution simpler.
my run with 2 bonus\ is now free, but nesdori your bonus amount is quite impressive; i'm curious! ;-D

25-01-11 23:34dustin

what the... :d :d
ok, i'm still in the "how does it work in theory"-phase... ;)

25-01-11 18:11nesdori

dustin & Arno, i was wondering exactly the same question. usually Arno fixes unintended bonus Α but this time getting the bonus Α is not that easy even if you know how to do that in theory. so maybe Arno indeed set up an intentional challenge for high score hunters (which always is nice and inspiring! :)

25-01-11 13:41dustin

Arno: as for the bonus points... did you set them because you think bonusΑ m i g h t be possible or because you k n o w they're possible? :d

25-01-11 13:37dustin

yee-hah! :d

25-01-10 09:13Arno

thx for playing; a little puzzle with only bd1 elements! :-D
by the way - for the highscore hunters i did set bonus\ points! ;-)

25-01-09 19:15dustin

i figured it out, but i have to optimize my speed... :d

cave c: amoeba wrap
-------------------
based on: balderdash 129
required ΑΑΑ: 90 (original: 75)
cave time: 110 (150)
in ΘΘΘ caves, i often find it tricky to set requirements for the higher levels which aren't unfair but also not too easy. "unfair" would mean that the random growing behaviour of the ΘΘΘ might not allow Κ to get enough ΑΑΑ. in this case, the ΘΘΘ might completely trap Κ on his starting position before it has grown big enough overall. in the end, i found 90Α a reasonable requirement which is almost always possible. it might not be too difficult either, but this fits with the overall spirit of this game - presenting caves with emphasis more on fun and retro feeling rather than difficulty! :d

dustin's boulder dash 24 - balderdash remix
-------------------------------------------
...is available at Arno's game base! thx Arno 4 the release again! :d
the caves are based on my "balderdash" series, so they might look familiar. i still think it makes sense to upload the level 5 versions of the caves because they're often considerably harder than the original caves.
for comparison, i'm giving all the level-based cave settings (original caves in brackets, level values not in brackets).
cave a: poledance
-----------------
based on: balderdash 53
required ΑΑΑ: 200 (200)
cave time: 80 (80)
this intro cave isn't supposed to be a real challenge yet, just some fun fireworks! (it's just a coincidencethat the game was released a few days before new year's eve of(20)24, but it fits nicely!) :d

I had to redo the paths so the farthest boulder would fall last!

the snake is associated with the planet venus and its origin wu-xing element is fire. of the four trines, the snake is in the trine with the rooster and the ox. the snake is often referred to as 'the little dragon'. the sign of twin snakes twisting around a dagger is the caduceus, and is referred to as the sign of a medical practice or practitioner.
to be born in this year is to be intelligent yet unscrupulous.
Yet the snake is often misunderstood, often protrayed as conniving or mischevous. In christian mythology, satan appeared in the form of a snake in order to trick eve into eating the forbidden fruit, and convincing adam into partaking. In other mythos, the snake is seen as pivotal in world creation, or is seen as a cycle unending, with life depending on life -- as such is the tale of ouroboros, the serpent who is seen consuming its own tail.
there is more to the mythos of the snake, but it is too much for one note!

changes by no1:
| the ΑΑΑ density was increased from 14 to 17.
| the requirement was reduced from 19Α to 15Α.
\ both these changes result in more bonus ΑΑΑ, simplifying the cave.
| on the left side of the ΔΔΔ box with the Ξ, no1 added a Β and a Γ below.
\ that's obviously supposed to make it possible to blast the Ξ free also from the left side, although it doesn't really seem to work on level 1. (however, on some higher levels, it does!)
| score changed from 20/0 to 15/25.
\ especially the bonus value makes a lot of sense; the original also had many bonus ΑΑΑ but they were worthless!
different from original: 5/10
the original had 6 bonus ΑΑΑ, now it's 14. given all the ΖΖΖ wandering around in the whole cave, this makes a considerable difference, especially in the original c64 versions with the smaller screens where Κ couldn't see the ΖΖΖ coming so quickly! for the versions here at this site, my rating would rather be 4/10.

| random seed changed from 0 to 253
\ i don't see a clear reason for that; maybe no1 just wanted to change the default bd1-k seeds (he changed the higher level seeds as well).
| bonus score increased from 0 to 75
\ this looks like an oversight; the bonus points are useless!
different from original: 2/10
no real changes in gameplay due to the different random seed; even the count of ΖΖΖ is the same in both versions.

changes by no1:
| random fill with ΒΒΒ was added by no1
\ maybe this was mainly for asthetic reasons, so the cave looks less empty, but it also adds a few bonus ΑΑΑ.
| the 2x3 ΖΖΖΖΖΖ were originally all in the area between the two magic walls..
\ so no1 moved them out of the way to make the cave easier; in particular, the ΖΖΖ had to be freed by snapping in original, which no1 generally wants to avoid.
| requirement reduced from 18Α (maximum in original) to 15Α
\ there are two plausible reasons to me: (1) 15 is a "rounder" number and (2) it gives more bonus ΑΑΑ, so that the ΛΛΛ bug can't "eat" too many ΑΑΑ.
| bonus score increased from 0 to 30
\ once again, there weren't any bonus ΑΑΑ in original, but now there are!
different from original: 5/10
while Κ's main task - converting the ΒΒΒ into ΑΑΑ without swallowing them by the bottom ΛΛΛ - has remained unchanged, two things have been considerably simplified: (1) the ΖΖΖ are far less annoying and (2) it's no longer a problem if 1-2Α get lost by the ΛΛΛ bug because there are still far enough.

changes by no1:
| requirement reduced from 40Α (maximum) to 35Α
| this change only makes sense in the original c64 version where the ΛΛΛ bug is there. one of the effects of that bd1 engine bug is that ΑΑΑ can get lost if the conversion is performed too quickly. here, if Κ just converts all ΒΒΒ normally, he gets only 29 out of 40Α. so the big idea behind don pedro's cave is that Κ has to perform the ΒΒΒ conversion very gradually in order to get all 40Α. no1 has softened the conditions a bit; now Κ still has to be careful but he may lose a few ΑΑΑ and still get enough.
| bonus score increased from 0 to 15
Α this is because now there are bonus ΑΑΑ available.
different from original: 4/10
note that this rating goes for the original c64 versions. based on the versions here at this site, without the ΛΛΛ bug, the difference would be rated only 1/10!

happy new year!

my boulder dash resolutions for 2025:
| proceed with the uploads of no one's caves, maybe even finish them:
\ no one's boulder 33-46
\ no one's 16 bd game d-o
| finish double dash 2, of course (maybe there will be 3 as well)
| upload dustin's bd 24 (which has just been released on Arno's game base!)
| finish, release and upload dustin's bd25 and maybe also 26 (both games are already in work!)
| proceed with the "themes abc" series (not sure if it will be finished in 2025; there are 15 more caves to go, and the caves of the series are big and creative, so i need inspiration and time for each of them!)
| a bit more cso caves again, maybe 1 per month (but don't expect many brand new ideas; i feel that almost everything the topic has to offer is more or less covered by the series already! after all, it's close to 300 caves already!) :d
| and i wanna start with a series called "boulder dash level infinity" where i make super-hard versions of the bd1+2 caves, maybe even beyond my own solving skills! i made the first few caves over a year ago but then concentrated on ther projects. i think 2025 is a good year to start that one! :d
of course, there will very likely be other caves as well, but these are my definite plans for the next year :)

XXI - The World
All paths eventually lead to an end. Through trial and discipline, even the most stubborn of individuals can become enlightened and do well in the world. But most hone their arts to the degree that most become recognised as masters. But one must not be considered legendary in order to be remembered by nature of his foreceful hand; rather, legends are born from those who take to the craft tried and true. With patience and deliberation, through trial and tribulation, from the fall to the redemption -- the fool has learned his lessons and found his calling...

XX - Judgement
fate can be cruel, but for those who atone for their misdeeds, some are given a second chance. the scale tips one way, and a heavy hand is dealt to the fortunate, while the malicious seem to be given free reign. But fate is a pendulum; while the malicious may have gotten off prior, fate will not be so kind the second time.
Thus the fool understands, for each little slip or misstep he takes, there is an opportunity to improve. Not because he had planned it, but the cards had simply run in his favor..

XIX - The Sun
the warmth of contentment, in the understanding that one has done the right thing, through and through, has lead quite a few astray in the past. Complacency leads to complication, where one places want greater than need. A humble man recognises the old adage: men often desire to have what they want, but the humble man wants what he has.
Recognising this, material plenty becomes no desirable object. But not all that glitters is gold...

XVIII - The Moon
In the face of darkness, after the trial, after the penance, one can see where they have gone wrong, if they so choose. The fool has understood this, and again begins his rise to glory. But one must be weary about treading familiar ground, lest he be snared into the same folly that put him at rock bottom afore..

XVII - Star
The bigger the weight, the harder the fall. It is difficult to get back up to solid ground after such a cruel loss. but the fool's measure of strength lies not in his inability to get knocked down, but the willingness to get back up. You don't know what you've got until it's gone; but where one path ends, another begins...

XVI - The Tower
All that commits sin is judged. in mortal society, crimes are tried, and criminals are incarcerated. the fool had indulged in his prior covetousness, and now faces a gauntlet of those who hold judgement in their hands. For he must face his penance, or be sentenced for his folly..

XV - The Devil
it is often spoken that the most vicious beings are fantastical, malevolent entities. what they do not tell you is that they come in the form of man. For man often is conniving; he is a weaver of illusory curtains. just as an illusionist puts crowds in suspense over what seems to be impossible, the weights of sin inspire covetousness in the wicked. the fool must be aware of the curtain in front of his eyes, and pierce the veil, lest he pays the ultimate toll...

XIV - Temperance
with moderation, things can fall into place. when establishing rules, one must take stock of what he has, and ensures the rules are set with the intent that nothing is lost or left behind. But such an idealistic mindset is folly when it comes to the world. Thus, in a world where people desire to have what they want, a humble man will only want what he has, and wastes not; for he knows he must hold a reserve, especially for hard times...

XIII - Death
Loss is inevitable. Not all things are paved in gold and ivory. The fool recognizes that he will lose something important, and in the course of his journey, come face to face with his own mortality. the forewarning of recklessness hits him hard, and he realises that he must tread this mortal coil carefully, lest he be ensnared and fall unto oblivion...

XII - The Hanged
No, you can't have it all. The phrase "you can't have your cake and eat it too" applies to all facets of life. Perfection is a mere fever dream conjured by the wicked to encourage recklessness. A prudent individual recognizes that he can never be perfect. The fool thus understands, in this journey, that making sacrifices is not only necessary, it is sometimes inevitable...

"X - Fortune"
fate is ever a fickle mistress. the fool knows this. not everything is set in stone, and what was once a set of well-laid plans soon turns into a moment of stark improvisation. sometimes he has to play the cards he is dealt, even if he does not win, for the next draw might give him great success. As such, he must go with the flow, regardless of the circumstances...

Conviction can run strong, but blind justice can lead to prejudice. The fool must weigh the scales appropriately if he is to discern fact from fiction, for blind faith is but a pursuit of folly..

changes by no1:
| there were four vertical ΔΔΔ to blast in original, no1 removed 3 of them.
\ that's a huge simplification, of course.
| the vertical line of ΒΒΒ was added by no1
\ this again makes it easier to release the ΗΗΗ (without snapping)
| the Ν was originally in the top-left corner.
\ in this version, this would obviously be no longer possible!
| requirement reduced from 36Α to 15Α
\ in original, with four walls to blast, there were a lot more explosions necessary, so the decrease fits with no1's other changes.
| timer reduced from 100 to 50
\ one explosion needs less time than four! :d
| bonus score increased from 10 to 15
different from original: 7/10
another case where no1 simplified a challenging cave massively!

correction: the score is 10/25, not 20/25, so Κ only gets 200 points for all 17Α.

24-12-28 20:23dustin

changes by no1:
| requirement increased (!) from 10 to 15
\ one of the rare cases where no1 made a cave harder! maybe he thought there are enough ΑΑΑ anyway, so it doesn't make a big difference.
| score/ bonus score changed from 10/10 to 20/25 points.
\ this means that Κ now gets 350 points if he collects all the ΑΑΑ, which is closer to a bonus life (500 points).
different from original: 4/10
at least in my runs, it happens quite often to me that a few ΑΑΑ get destroyed by explosions or trapped by the ΘΘΘ. so to me, it makes a considerable difference if there are 7 bonus ΑΑΑΑΑΑΑ (original) or just 2 (no1 version). depending on how the cave is played, the difference may also be close to irrelevant (especially if Κ traps the ΘΘΘ and gets a lot of extra ΑΑΑ this way, of course!) :d

changes by no1:
| the ΘΘΘ time is increased from 20 to 80
\ of course this makes the cave much easier because the ΘΘΘ is no longer a real threat. Κ has far enough time to collect all the ΑΑΑ before the ΒΒΒ fall down.
| requirement reduced from 42Α to 40Α
\ again a round number ;)
| bonus score reduced from 99 to 15
\ because it has become far easier to get a lot of bonus ΑΑΑ, it makes sense to reduce their value.
different from original: 7/10
small cause, big effect: the mere change of the ΘΘΘ slow growth time makes don pedro's super-tight speedrun cave almost completely trivial!

original cave: don pedro bd05 intermission 1
changes by no1:
| the Η was originally in the sw corner.
\ with the new Η position, it can be released without snapping.
| the two left ΑΑ were three rows lower in original; the right Α wasn't there at all.
\ the higher placement of the ΑΑΑ makes it easier to crush the Η, and the extra Α (which isn't required) means that Κ can allow himself to lose one Α in the explosion.
| bonus score increased from 0 to 50
\ unlike in original, there's a bonus Α now, so that makes sense.
different from original: 7/10
the original has two new ideas: (1) make a pixel-perfect Η explosion to get maximum ΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑ and (2) be careful not to lose a Α in the explosion. both these ideas have been removed by no1, leaving only a more or less simple and old-fashioned crush-a-Η task for Κ.

the whole cave is bd1-c with ΔΔΔ replaced with ΒΒΒ, and especially the bottom ΑΑΑ can be very tricky for beginners. so i think giving four bonus ΑΑΑΑ makes a considerable difference, even though the map has not changed.

edit: i just noted that i forgot to place four ΒΒΒΒ in the nw and ne corners. these were don pedro's original ΒΒΒΒ which no1 hasn't removed.
it stays as it is now, as it doesn't really change gameplay!

24-12-27 21:52dustin

original cave: don pedro bd05 cave b
changes by no1:
| the whole random ΒΒΒ fill was added by no1.
| two extra, non-random ΒΒ were added above the ΔΔ.
| one extra, non-random Β was added next to the right Ζ.
\ these ΒΒΒ have two main purposes: firstly, Κ no longer has to push a Β from the cave corner all the way to the explosion spot. secondly, the ΖΖ can now be released easier, without snapping. (btw, no1 has chosen all five random seeds such that there's always a Β next to the left Ζ as well!) (also btw, the single extra Β next to the right Ζ is for the higher levels; on level 1, there is a random-fill Β at the exact same spot anyway!)
| requirement reduced from 12\ (maximum) to 10\
\ this doesn't change much, of course, so the only plausible reason is that no1 likes round numbers! (there will be similar cases in other caves!) ;)
| bonus score increased from 0 to 40
\ that makes sense, of course, now that there are 2 bonus ΑΑ available.
different from original: 4/10
while the main idea behind the cave - performing an explosion from above - remains unchanged, there are two considerable technical simplifications: the Ζ release and the extra ΒΒΒ for the explosion.

game d
------
based on: boulder dash v by don pedro
caves with changes: 18/20
the start of no1's remakes of don pedro's caves! no1 made a ton of changes here in almost every cave. the intention is mostly to make don pedro's challenging caves easier, and in some extreme cases this means that don pedro's whole idea(s) behind a cave is no longer present in no1's version. let's dive into the caves!
about this cave:
original cave (search in database): "don pedro bd05 cave a"
changes by no1:
| the left ΔΔΔ is shorter (in original, it goes to the very bottom)
\ this gives far more space for the converted ΑΑΑ.
| the ΒΒΒ density is reduced (from 50 to 27)
\ i'm not sure why he did that; it makes the cave even slightly harder because there are fewer ΑΑΑ to get. my theory is that no1 first reduced the ΒΒΒ density to create more space between the two walls, and then he thought 'why not just shorten the left wall?' which solved the space problem more easily, and then he forgot to set the ΒΒΒ density back to original.
different from original: 4/10
the super-narrow space for the ΑΑΑ in the original means that Κ might lock himself out from the ΑΑΑ if he isn't careful; this problem is no longer present here. on the other hand, Κ might now get too few ΑΑΑ if he doesn't convert quickly. both together make me think that the changes here are somewhat comparable to bd1-n, where 3 out of 6 ΖΖΖ were removed.

VII - The Chariot
providence often comes at a cost. there will always be disagreements. in most cases, the fool has to tread on thin ice. haste makes waste; a calm mind will permit prevalence, whereas a hasty hand burns a bridge..

VI - The Lovers
the quest for knowledge is never-ending. So is the journey. Friendships are made, rivalries are gained. Bonds can be severed, and enemies can be converted. life itself is a trial, with a great bounty to be had for those who overcome each of them...

V - The Hierophant
one must be mindful of measuring plenty and being kind with others. forming friendships is often a fickle task that some can take advantage of. But the fool understands it is not simply the fact he must keep his friends close, but the fact he must keep his enemies closer: by knowing their intentions and piercing their delusions, they cannot easily manipulate him..

IV - the emperor
what is life but a bestial unraveling without rules? the path of the fool puts him at a certain dictation - he could do anything he wants, but garner great disdain for those around him; or he could understand and heed the rules, and find himself part of society.
But not all rules are designed to ensnare people; a modus must be established if plans must flow accordingly..

Guidance follows impetus. the fool's journey has taught him to see the wonders, and when the time is ripe, to seek initiative. But one must be wary, for one can rush headlong into a trap if such initiative is committed in haste...

II - Priestess
The future is unknown to all but the divines. predictions can only be made. The fool struggles, but is given assurance. his future is mutable by his own hand. The knowledge he seeks is what will be revealed in his journey. at times there is longing for home, but the journey of a thousand miles starts but with a single step..

The unlearned, the beginner, the apprentice. One who has begun the path of knowledge, eager to see and learn about the world and its mysteries. But in such a beginning, one can easily be lead astray..
..for he will face many trials, many tribulations. Some grant progress; others will force him to rethink..

There's another one of these BD optical illusions here :D
You can trick yourself into thinking that all Η move in straight lines (2 tiles, then stopping stopping for one frame) instead of just going around the corners.
TO spot this, follow the Η:s that move along the ceiling of the tunnels and imagine they are doing a zig-zag between other Η:s, moving by two tiles :D

It was only after ^'s persistence that he finally started to understand the nature of the witch, whom turned to be anything but. A cache of shimmering jewels to be harvested lays right before his eyes.
As he begins, he hears one final message, as the 'witch' does not speak normally..
"Never in my time have I seen one with a love of gems as I. But now after I have tested you, I can finally see why! You are very famous, that much I knew. So it was little wonder you saw each of my trials through. I shall donate to you a portion of my hoard. Gift these riches to those who cannot afford. For the true treasure is a courageous heart; what misery you have suffered, I shall now part.
May your luck shine and your cleverness be true. It will be the very thing that will see you through. Buy many gifts, spread plenty of cheer. And carry the light with you unto the next year."
..the biggest disappointment was not the fact ^'s messenger was a dragon, but the fact there was no witch to be found! Regardless, the impression left behind ensured the creature would not cause any more suffering..

"How interesting as you've entertained me. The need for \ is plain to see. But don't think that your freedom has been set. I'm not exactly done with you yet! For what remains are trials two. Do you have what it takes to see it through?"
The domain is thawing! ^ is certain if he continues to play along, the witch might finally have a change of heart..

no sooner does ^ manage to get through the mess does he find some eyes on him, and an ominous message spoken to him: "Entertain me. Get through my tricks and the \ you may keep. But if you ever make a single slip, you shall enjoy a eternal sleep!"
And ^ must indeed be careful. The sun may be rising, but the pressure is quite cold indeed!

the first no1's boulder which he made with the ckit, not a bd1 engine hack. i think the difference in style between these caves and his previous games is quite striking, but judge for yourself :d

original cave: n/a (incompatible due to multiple ΚΚ)
changes by no1:
| he removed the second Ν (it was two right from the remaining Ν, where now is Θ)
\ the second Ν had no clear purpose in the original other than being a second Ν, so i guess no1 wanted to make the int more classical. (similar to int 3)
| the ΓΓΓ and ΒΒΒ were all added by no1.
\ maybe no1 wanted to make the cave more interesting by adding an escape challenge to it. (the original int was basically like 'wait for the ΘΘΘ to fill the whole cave and hope it suffocates before time is up'. now, in no1's version, the timer isn't the main problem anymore because the ΘΘΘ suffocates much quicker.)
| requirement reduced from 6Α to 5Α
Α a nicer number ;) (btw, the original 6Α requirement was likely just remained unchanged from the bd1 int 4, as well as all the other settings! this also explains the 14Α requirement in original int 3!) :d
| bonus score added (59 points)
\ the original had no bonus score although bonus ΑΑΑ are available.
different from original: 8/10
the extra ΒΒΒ have a huge effect on the gameplay: a completely new "escape the room" challenge was added to the int! the original had the two ΚΚ as the only real "attraction" but no interesting gameplay. so this is the first time where no1 added a completely new and interesting idea to a cave, that's why i think it should be rated higher than any cave before (except for the completely new cave p, of course)!

original cave: dr. watson bd4 cave p
changes by no1
| the whole cave :d
\ good question why no1 replaced the whole cave. the original isn't an easy one, but it would surely have been possible to make it easier with a few subtile changes. my theory is that it was the last cave of the game, it was late at night and no1 wanted the game finished before going to bed, so he thought something like "hmm, what about this one... it's quite hard to release the ΖΖΖ and blast through all the walls in such a narrow space... ahhh c'mon, let's just remove that one completely and make a new cave... some random fill, let's place a Ζ somewhere, some space for it to move... alright, that's it, i'm tired, game finished! *yaaaaawn*" ;)
different from original: 10/10
obviously :d

original cave: dr. watson bd4 cave o
changes by no1:
| in original, the big ΖΖΖ rectangle went to the very right. no1 reduced that and added the whole ΕΕΕ+ΑΑΑ passage at the right.
Α this makes the cave obviously easier because Κ can now easily avoid the whole ΖΖΖ mass.
| the big ΖΖΖ rectangle was extended 1 down (in original, the three bottom rows were filled with ΑΑΑ)
Α unclear purpose to me; maybe no1 wanted to "tell" Κ as clearly as possible that he should go right.
| the 3rd and 4th row were originally full of ΑΑΑ, now ΓΓΓ.
Α unclear purpose to me. of course, the two missing ΑΑΑ rows directly above the ΖΖΖ box change the explosion dynamics, so i guess that no1's testings made him think the cave works better this way.
| requirement reduced from 80Α to 75Α.
Α unclear purpose to me. Κ has by far enough ΑΑΑ when he has walked to the outbox either way.
different from original: 7/10
i think this is the most changed cave so far. the original could be very difficult because it depended on impredictable explosion dynamics if there was an easy-to-spot possibility to get through the ΖΖΖ to the top or not. no1's version, on the other hand, still looks dangerous at first sight but is in fact completely easy (maybe even easier than bd1-a) :d such a massive simplification hasn't been seen in any previous cave of the series, so i think it's fair to rate these changes higher than in any previous cave!

original cave: dr. watson bd4 cave m
changes by no1:
| random ΒΒΒ added
Α the main purpose was probably to let the ΗΗΗ out w/o snapping.
different from original: 5/10
small cause, big effect! without the ΒΒΒ, dr. watson's intended solution was probably to release the ΗΗΗ and then find a way to break into the ΑΑΑ cage. (at least, this solution looks most obvious to me.) now, however, the cave can also be played completely differently, crushing the ΗΗΗ with the ΒΒΒ. this solution method reminds a lot of cave d but with considerably less time. the "original solution" is still very much possible as well, of course, and this method has become slightly easier because Κ can hide from the ΗΗΗ behind a Β.

original cave: n/a (incompatible due to multiple ΝΝ)
changes by no1:
| removed the second Ν, originally placed in the sw corner.
\ other than in the first two ints, the multiple ΝΝ aren't really necessary to solve the cave, so i guess no1 just wanted to make the int more classical.
| requirement increased from 14Α to 15Α
\ nicer number ;)
different from original: 5/10
this is a special case; the int is of course super simple even if Κ falls for the magic ΛΛΛ trap. and that goes for the original as well as for this remake. the relatively high rating is mainly due to the fact that no1 removed the "trademark" of dr. watson's intermissions, namely the second Ν. in addition, this makes it considerably harder for ambitious players who want all the ΑΑΑ (for this, the second Κ was of course very helpful.)

original cave (type in database): dr. watson bd4 cave l
changes by no1:
| colors (original: red, white, blue; no1: red, dark-gray, green)
\ more classic look, including green ΘΘΘ.
| the left end of the space rectangle inside the Θ-box was moved 1 left. this decreases the left ΔΔΔ thickness from 2 to 1.
\ this makes the ΔΔΔ much easier to explode; it can now not only be done from the top (as in original), but also from the left side.
| the right end of the aforementioned space rectangle is moved 2 left compared to original.
\ this was likely made to reconnect the space rectangle to the horizontal space line via the right side (this connection, originally via the left side, was broken by the previous change as a side effect.)
| the Ξ is moved a few steps right.
\ again "fixing" a side effect of the previous changes; the Ξ would otherwise have been in the way of the ΘΘΘ's growing space.
| reduced the ΘΘΘ timer from 20 to 16.
\ unclear purpose, maybe just to not always have the default value 20. :d (i guess 20 is the bd1 default value for ΘΘΘ and ΛΛΛ timers because it's used often in don pedro's games.)
| scoring changed from 15/50 to 8/15.
\ in original, the ΑΑΑ gave Κ two extra lives; no1 uses reasonable scorings to give Κ a sensible amount of extra lives.
different from original: 6/10
the main reason for this relatively high rating is the reduced thickness of the left ΔΔΔ. in original, this was one of the first bd games where an explosion from the top was required, and there's relatively little space for that too. now it's "only" an explosion from the left side, which is generally still a little trickier than an explosion from the right (as in bd1-l and bd2-g, for instance) because of the ΖΖΖ moving patterns. but here, two ΖΖ and a Β are already in perfect positions to do the explosion, which all in all simplifies the cave a lot. also, the change affects the main topic of the original "perform an explosion from the top side". i think this is comparable to cave g where also the main topic of the original cave "trapping a super-large ΘΘΘ" was influenced by no1's changes.

changes by no1:
| smaller cage for the ΘΘΘ at the start
\ this doesn't change much in gameplay, but it does give Κ some extra time because (1) the ΘΘΘ suffocates more quickly and (2) there are fewer ΑΑΑ to collect. the extra time can be quite valuable for the freeing of the exit.
| color 1 (ΓΓΓ) changed from green to orange
\ green is already used for the ΘΘΘ color, so i guess no1 wanted a different color for the ΓΓΓ to make the cave more colorful!
| requirement reduced from 99\ to 90\
\ just a nicer number again? :d
| scoring changed from 1/4 to 3/5 points
\more points make sense with less ΑΑΑ available.
different from original: 3/10
the main difficulty - freeing the exit from a ΒΒΒ mass - has remained unchanged, which surprises me a bit. i would have found it "typical" for no1's style to remove one or two ΒΒΒ rows to make it easier. but maybe he had found a good method to do it and saw no reason to make it easier.
i think that the extra time effectively given by the smaller ΘΘΘ cage can be quite valuable, so this does make the cave slightly but significantly easier imo.

changes by no1:
| colors (original: yellow, red, yellow; no1: red, light-red, yellow)
\ once again for the classic look (too bright ΓΓΓ in original)
| random ||| added
\ maybe that was to make the cave look less empty.
| all the brick ΔΔΔ were destructible ΕΕΕ in original.
\ no1 consequently replaced all destructible ΕΕΕ in bd4; he probably didn't want to confront the player with a new element which wasn't present in bd1-3.
| the two ΑΑ in the ΖΖ cage were added by no1.
\ now the ΖΖ are seperated and can be released one by one.
| three extra ΑΑΑ were added in each ΔΔΔ rectangle.
| the requirement was changed accordingly (from 2Α to 10Α; maximum in both cases).
\ that was probably for purely asthetic reasons.
| an extra single Β was added below the Ζ.
\ now the Ζ can be released without snapping.
| another extra single Β was added at the nw side of the left ΔΔΔ rectangle.
\ maybe that was supposed to make the blast of that wall minimally easier, although it doesn't seem to matter much.
| the single Β next to Κ was originally one step more down.
\ unclear purpose to me; maybe just by accident.
| the scoring was changed from 50/0 to 35/50.
\ decreasing the regular score makes sense because there are more ΑΑΑ available than in original (10 vs. 2), but the bonus score doesn'
t make sense because there are no bonus ΑΑΑ! :d
different from original: 4/10
technically speaking, this is the caves with the most changes so far, but most of them don't have much influence on the gameplay or optics. still, a few considerable changes are there: the colors, the Ζ in the north which no longer has to be snapped free, the removal of the destructive ΕΕΕ, the spearation of the two ΖΖ which may be easier to deal with for beginner (although it's an obstacle for speedrunners surely!) ;)

changes by no1:
| colors (original: white, orange, red; no1 switched colors 1 and 3)
\ once again this makes the look much more classical!
| the ΘΘΘ size is massively reduced; in original it's a 38x2 rectangle through the whole cave from left to right.
\ now it's much easier to trap the ΘΘΘ in a small enough cage so it doesn't overgrow.
| requirement reduced from 99Α to 50Α
\ that makes sense 'cause the ΘΘΘ is smaller. now, as in original, it's hard to make the ΘΘΘ cage too small.
| the original has 5 rows of ΒΒΒ, no1 removed 2 of those.
\ the remaining ΒΒΒ should still be far enough to trap the ΘΘΘ, and it's now easier for Κ to escape after collecting the ΑΑΑ.
| timer slightly reduced from 255 to 250.
\ just a nicer number again, i guess :d
different from original: 6/10
this cave can roughly be compared with game b (bd3) cave k. in both caves, the trapping of an ΘΘΘ has been made easier by no1, but here, the changes are clearly more influencing. basically the action now takes place only in the left half of the cave, and the trapping of the ΘΘΘ is now really easy, maybe easier than even in bd1-g. in addition to that we have a massive visual change with the colors. so if game b cave k was a 5/10, then this one has to be - at least - one degree higher! so far, this is clearly the most changed cave (emphasis on "so far"; the degrees 7-10 will definitely still be needed later!) :d

no changes in the layout, and although the changes in the requirement look massive, it makes the cave only very slightly easier.

now that i just played the original again, i found the original easier :d maybe it depends on the way Κ prepares the cave before releasing the ΗΗΗ.

24-11-23 16:41dustin

changes by no1:
| colors (original: brown, yellow, purple; no1: brown, light-red, white)
\ more classical look, specifically with color 3 = white
| density of random ΒΒΒ decreased (from originally 76 to 39)
\ with less ΒΒΒ in Κ's way, the cave feels "lighter" to play.
| random seed changed (original 0, now 1)
\ purpose unclear to me; maybe no1 found the specific placement of the ΒΒΒ better for his solution method?
| no1 added the hole in the ΗΗΗ rectangle made of ΓΓΓ and custom ΒΒΒ
\ this makes the big mass of ΗΗΗ considerably more manageable.
| timer decreased from 255 to 200
\ that's one of the few occasions where a no1 change makes the cave more difficult; i guess he just found 200 a nicer number ;)
| score changed from 5/10 to 3/5
\ this ensures that there are not too many bonus lifes.
different from original: 4/10
in addition to the visual change by the colors, i feel the cave has also become slightly easier because there are less ΗΗΗ and the ΒΒΒ in the middle of the hole can also crush some of them. also, i find that the cave now looks nicer with fewer ΒΒΒ and a ring of ΗΗΗ instead of the rectangle!

changes by no1:
| colours (original: purple/white/blue; no1: light-blue/orange/white)
\ more classical look
| timer increased from 60 to 90
| requirement increased from 14\ to 15\
\ probably no1 found 15 a nicer number than 14 ;)
| the random ΕΕΕ are no longer destructible, as they were in original.
\ in this specific cave, this makes practically no difference, but no1 replaced destructible ΕΕΕ in other bd4 caves as well, so i think he wanted to use only the elements known from the official games.
| bonus score decreased from 50 to 40
\ no1 changed the score/bonus-score in many other caves as well, with the likely purpose of giving Κ a sensible amount of extra lives; an aspect which was more or less ignored or overlooked in the originals.
difference from original: 3/10
the colours are again the most striking difference to me (2/10 for that alone); the other little changes don't influence gameplay much imo, so only 1 extra "difference point" for all of them together ;)

changes by no1:
| colours (from cyan/red/green to purple/red/white)
\ more classical look
| the inbox was originally two steps more left, on top of the ΑΑΑΑΑ column
\ no1 removed the "mini puzzle" how to escape at the beginning.
difference from original: 3/10
again the new colours change the look remarkably (this alone would be a 2/10 rating), plus the new inbox position makes the cave significantly easier - basically imo the starting mini puzzle was the hardest part of the original cave unless Κ takes an extra challenge such as getting as many bonus ΑΑΑ as possible.

game c
------
based on: boulder dash 4 (dr. watson)
caves with changes: 18/20 (one intermission is still incompatible, so it will be 17 uploads)
changes in this cave by no1:
| colours: from blue/yellow/red to blue/light-blue/white
\ this gives the cave a more classical look; no1 did that in many other bd4 caves too.
| random seed changed from 3 to 4
\ the purpose is unclear to me; both seeds seem to me equally difficult.
difference from original: 3/10
gameplay hasn't really changed, but the optics are remarkably different.

yup indeed: the left dff shows two independant crawling-f4's which carry a free rider together.
the right formation shows the (failed) attempt to let the extra Ζ free-ride on just one crawling-f4. problem: the extra Ζ will influence and break the crawling-f4 quickly. instead, the 5 ΖΖΖΖΖ will then form a glider-f5 together.
so the left dff is a new free-rider formation which will be the topic of a future episode on Arno's dff forum thread! :d

24-11-10 16:18dustin

veeeeeeery interesting! :d
the right dff is a glider-f5. the left one looks like two crawling-f4 plus the free rider. analysis follows :d

24-11-10 13:29DarkStoorM

I forgot the names of those formations, but I just randomly got a false-positive on a 9-fly formation, where there are 2x 4-Ζ and the fifth becomes a free rider (left side, top fly). It gets blocked by the left 4-Ζ and waits for another cycle. It'd normally form the 5Ζ on the right

24-11-06 21:57enrico

I had published this cave, but thanks to the solver (I think it was heywood) I discovered a slew of errors.
Therefore I had to change it and I apologize for the deletion.
The project was a forced path, but an unexpected shortcut tripped me up.
I hope this time it goes well otherwise I retire!

24-11-06 18:48altermaven

Incredibly clever take on the original cave K, definitely seems extra "crowded" to me ;)

24-11-06 16:25heywood

very much so, and i appreciate all the work you and others do towards keeping my favourite game alive.

24-11-06 16:08dustin

as for me, i remember that i disliked that cave at the beginning, because i rarely reached it (because j was already so tough) and then when i reached it, i couldn't solve it because i found k also hard!
meanwhile, cave k is also one of my favourite bd1 caves, one reason being that it was much fun to me to play with the random seeds and see which ones could be solved easily and which ones were tough. when i made one of my first gdash games (bd1- the expert levels), i even tested a l l the seeds from 0-255 to find out which one was the hardest :d
anyway, i take your comment so that you liked this double-size version as well, which i'm glad to read! :d

changes by no1:
| some ΓΓΓ was added in the south-east corner, removing one Β and one Α.
\ the likely purpose was to make the higher levels 3 and 5 easier by freeing the Ξ from random ΒΒΒ, so Κ no longer has to explode ΖΖΖ to free the Ξ.
difference from original: 1/10
as already mentioned, the change was likely made for higher levels. here on level 1, the missing Β and Α are as good as irrelevant.
however, the 1/10 rating is not yet the lowest - there will also be 0/10 caves with even less relevant differences! :d

changes by no1:
| one single Β added below the ΖΖΖ square
\ this might encourage Κ to release the ΖΖΖ immediately without snapping.
| another single Β added next to the wall at the right.
\ this might be an improvement for higher levels where there are no random ΒΒΒ next to the wall. then the extra Β makes it easier to explode a Ζ there to release the ΗΗΗ.
difference from original: 2/10
for players who like to use the ΘΘΘ to crush the ΗΗΗ, it's important to quickly release the ΖΖΖ, so the first Β is helpful to avoid dangerous "ΖΖΖ snapping". other players (like me) who ignore the ΖΖΖ/ΘΘΘ completely, the second Β might make a very slight difference to crush more ΗΗΗ (although in original, with destructible Ξ, the Ξ can get into danger if too many ΗΗΗ are destroyed next to the ΔΔΔ.) so all in all, the two extra ΒΒ can have a very slight influence on gameplay.

| four ΒΒΒΒ inside the starting box were removed.
\ that decreases the odds that the ΘΘΘ might trap Κ before he can move.
| the ΘΘΘ timer increased (from 48 to 96).
\ this gives more time to trap the ΘΘΘ, on the other hand less time to collect the ΑΑΑ afterwards.
difference from original: 4/10
several small changes which, taken together, make Κ's task slightly more comfortable. compared to the previous cave, however, none of the changes here has really such a big influence on the gameplay imo.

changes by no1:
| the ΘΘΘ-box is double as big as original
| cleared the inside of the box from ΒΒΒ
| requirement lowered from 25 to 20\
\ all these changes mean that the ΘΘΘ now needs only 2 extra spaces to grow (in original, it was 18 extra spaces), so the ΘΘΘ can now be re-trapped in a much smaller cage.
| 2x3 extra ΒΒΒ were added.
\ this makes it additionally slightly easier to re-trap the ΘΘΘ.
difference from original: 5/10
imo these are the biggest changes to the official releases (games a and b, based on bd1/bd3). the re-trapping of the ΘΘΘ can now be done much more easily and it's more controllable. although the ΘΘΘ timeris still quite short (48) it's not such a big problem here because the ΘΘΘ needn't be let out of its cage as much as in original. one of the hardest bd3 caves has become considerably more playable for beginners.

24-11-01 18:56dustin

game b
------
based on: boulder dash 3 (official release)
changes in this cave:
| random seed changed (from 7 to 8)
| dirt added above the inbox
\ the random seed was probably changed to avoid "Ζ snapping" (the necessity to release one or more stationary ΖΖΖ by snapping a piece of Γ and then quickly running away). with the new seed, the ΖΖΖ can now be released by dropping a Β instead, which is far less dangerous for Κ. but with the new seed, there would be a Β above the inbox making the cave unsolvable, so no1 had to remove it manually.
ΖΖΖ snapping (that's how i call it throughout this series) is a recurring theme in many early bd games, and no1 consequently changed it every time, so we will see a lot of such changes! ( i also disliked ΖΖΖ snapping a lot earlier, and i still like it more when the ΖΖΖ have space to move if they have to be released) :d
different from original: 3/10
i think ΖΖΖ snapping is quite difficult especially for beginners, so changing it is a significant simplification imo.

I also noticed a difference in the first intermission, where the bfly direction is different such that the bfly spins at the bottom instead of walking along the border.

no one's 16 bd game
-------------------
...was no one's compilation of early bd games. no one made a lot of changes in the cave design, mostly with the clear purpose of making the caves easier to play.
this compilation gameset can also be played in original here at this site under "database" - "original boulders" - "boulder dash 16 comp."!
i'm going to upload all the caves where no1 made changes from the originals, and i'll analyze and rate these changes on a 1-10 scale just for fun :d
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
game a
------
based on: boulder dash 1 (official release)
caves with changes: 1/20
changes in this cave: (a Β denotes a change, and a Α denotes the probable purpose of that change.)
| 3 out of 6 ΖΖΖ removed
\ simplification
different from original (considering visual difference, difficulty and general gameplay): 4/10
the cave can now be solved without interacting with any Ζ, which makes quite a difference although visually not much has changed.

^ must be mindful of the fact you can make the funneling issue a little easier to handle, but any cascading creates a big nono!

thank you Piter :)

24-11-04 12:41Piter

great cave! :-)

24-10-31 18:46dustin

never mind heywood :d

24-10-30 14:14heywood

spotted! I shouldn't fish for hints before there are solutions, apologies. :)

24-10-30 12:08dustin

at least i tried to make the Α requirement such that the cave is challenging but not overly difficult (except for bonus, of course) :d

24-10-29 22:40dustin

thanks heywood! :d
just solving the cave without any bonus ambitions is actually not super-hard, there are lots of bonus ΑΑΑ even without the "b" and the ΑΑΑ at the edge. (201Α required, far more than 300Α available)
as for the bonus (the "b" and the ΑΑΑ at the edge): if you look closely, there is one light Π in the cave, which can be used without lucky pushes ;)

24-10-29 14:34heywood

incredible map, i'm just sad that i'll probably never be a good enough player to complete it. :)
i see the trademark 'B' diamonds, but am mystified as to how they would be accessed without a fortuitous airgap push, combined with some good firefly timing... looking forward to the demos here!

Κ has explored and left jungle planet again and finds that he has actually visited all the planets in this solar system: the desert planet, the hot fire planet, the fascinating two-sided hot-and-cold planet, the bittercold ice planet and the comfortable but tight jungle planet. so where to go next? Κ still feels a bit homesick and thinks about returning to his mother planet when something attracts his attention. he spots a gaint kind of exercise course in the middle of nowhere, and when he curiously approaches it, he sees a big kind of signpost which is hovering in front of him. it reads:
" t i m e - m a c h i n e
we are crazy scientists and we have built the first time machine! however, it's still in beta state and it shouldn't be used by everyone. but, ehm, instead of hiding it somewhere where nobody can find it, for example in the inside the core of a planet, we decided to place it highly visible for everyone within the wide nothingness of outer space.
however!
to protect the time machine from being misused, we have created difficult exercises which you will have to solve to get access to the machine. so this way, we assure that only the best and smartest can make it to the time machine!
the first exam lies right before you! it is from me, professor mc donadall! have fun with it! let's see if you can get past my chessboard!
nye he he he he!
sincerely,
professor mc donadall, who likes witty board games
professor gumblegore, who likes to explore what nobody explored before
professor hadrig, who likes music
professor quiller, who likes it narrow
professor shout, who likes the green and growth
professor shake, who likes it puzzling
professor witflick, who likes it quick"
Κ looks at the area that lies in front of him. it looks like a gigantic chessboard, each square being filled with different dangers, but also a lot of ΑΑΑ lying there. forgotten is his homesickness, he doesn't even think of abandoning that challenge! and he doesn't even dare to think about all the possibilities he will have with a time machine! so ready, steady, go!
