A MINI SERIES OF SEVEN BD1/2 CAVES WHERE CERTAIN RANDOM SEEDS WERE NOT USED ALTHOUGH THEY WERE MOST PROBABLY TESTED.  
  
FOR EXAMPLE, THIS IS OF COURSE BD1-B BUT WITH RANDOM SEED 2.  
ORIGINAL SEEDS WERE 3 0 1 87 88.  
  
FOR THE THREE LOWER LEVELS, 0, 1 AND 3 WERE USED, SO WHY NOT 2?  
  
IT'S A VERY EASY SEED SO IT COULD HAVE BECOME LEVEL 1.  
  
I THINK THE MAIN REASON WHY THIS WAS ABANDONNED IS THAT THERE ARE ONLY STATIONARY FIREFLIES HERE. PROBABLY THE CREATORS WANTED TO INTRODUCE FIREFLIES TO THE PLAYER AS MOVING OBJECTS, SO THEY CHOSE RANDOM SEED 3 FOR LEVEL 1 BECAUSE THERE THE ONLY FIREFLY HAS SPACE TO MOVE (WHILE IT'S STILL HARMLESS ENOUGH).  
  
ANOTHER POSSIBLE REASON: THIS CAVE ALSO INTRODUCES BOULDER-PUSHING TO THE PLAYER. THE BD1 MANUAL SAYS "PICK UP JEWELS, BUT YOU MUST MOVE BOULDERS TO GET ALL JEWELS". IN THE ORIGINAL B/1 (SEED 3), TWO BOULDERS MUST BE PUSHED TO GET 4\. WITH SEED 2 HERE, ONLY ONE | MUST BE PUSHED FOR ONLY ONE \, SO EITHER ALL \ MUST BE REQUIRED OR, IF ONE OR MORE BONUS \ ARE GIVEN, THE PLAYER COULD SOLVE IT WITHOUT PUSHING A |.   
  
ALL THIS WAS PROBABLY REASON ENOUGH TO SKIP SEED 2 AND USE SEED 3 INSTEAD FOR B/1 :D

DOES CHANGING THE NAME REMOVE STORED DEMOS? BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE "ABANDONED" :D WE MIGHT NEED krissz TO FIX IT IF NECESSARY

OOPS :D I HAVEN'T LOOKED IT UP BECAUSE I WAS SURE IT MUST BE TWO N.   
  
YES, UNFORTUNATELY CHANGING THE NAME STILL DESTROYS DEMOS AND ALSO IT PUTS THE CAVE ON TOP OF THE "NEW CAVES" SECTION AGAIN. BUT WELL, NEVER MIND, I'LL JUST KEEP IT WITH TWO N TO KEEP THE NAME SCHEME :D
