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.

forgot to mention: 7/20 caves in game b are different from bd3, but one of them is just a buggy intermission, so there are 6 caves from game b to be uploaded.
