AH, THAT'S FUNNY!  darkwood 'S SOLUTION WAS UNINTENDED, SO I UPLOAD A FIX WHICH MAKES THAT SOLUTION IMPOSSIBLE.  
  
YET  darkwood 'S SOLUTION ALSO SHOWS A NICE Θ-RELATED CSO EFFECT: THE Θ GETS TRAPPED BY THE Ζ WITHOUT EXPLODING IT!  
  
I'LL TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY AND EXPLAIN HOW THAT WORKS:  
  
FRAME 0:  
ΓΓΒΖΓ  
ΓΚΘ    
ΕΕΕΕΕ  
THE STARTING SITUATION FOR THIS TRICK. THE Ζ IS ABOUT TO MOVE NEXT TO THE Θ, AND ONLY THESE TWO ELEMENTS - Ζ AND Θ - ARE RELEVANT FOR THIS AND THE NEXT FRAME.  
(1) HERE, THE Ζ IS SCANNED FIRST AND MOVES DOWN, NEXT TO THE Θ.  
(2) NOW THE Θ IS SCANNED. IT CHECKS IF IT CAN GROW - THERE'S A Β AT THE TOP, Κ BLOCKS IT FROM LEFT AND THE Ε FROM BOTTOM. AND TO THE RIGHT? WELL, THERE'S THE Ζ! SO SHOULDN'T THE Θ KILL IT? NO! AN EXPLOSION ONLY HAPPENS IF THE F I R E F L Y IS SCANNED AND "SEES" AN Θ NEXT TO IT. WHEN THE A M O E B A IS SCANNED, IT SEES THE Ζ LIKE ANY OTHER OBSTACLE. CONCLUSION: THE Θ IS TRAPPED! CONSEQUENTLY, THE ENGINE ACTIVATES A CHECKMARK "CONVERT THE Θ INTO Α NEXT FRAME".  
  
FRAME 1:  
ΓΓΒ Γ  
ΓΚΘΖ  
ΕΕΕΕΕ  
(1) NOW THE Θ IS SCANNED FIRST. AS PLANNED, THE ENGINE CONVERTS IT INTO A Α.  
(2) NOW COMES THE Ζ, AND TO ITS LEFT SIDE, IT SEES A... Α! THE Θ HAS ALREADY CONVERTED, SO THERE'S NO REASON FOR THE Ζ TO EXPLODE, AND IT JUST MOVES RIGHT AS IF THERE HAD NAVER BEEN ANY DANGER.  
  
NOTE THAT THIS CSO EFFECT HAS ALREADY BEEN SHOWN IN OTHER CAVES AS WELL, IN- AND OUTSIDE THIS SERIES!

see, for example,  Arno 's "testing 123456", one of his first caves with the new engine! :d
