THIS IS DEFINITELY A NEW DANCING FLY FORMATION! THERE IS NO SMALLER KNOWN DFF WHICH MOVES LEFT WITH A SHORT LOOP PERIOD OF 9 FRAMES, SO THIS CAN'T BE AN EXTENDED VERSION OF ANYTHING KNOWN. CRAZY! :D

THE FORMATION ON THE MAP IS NOT YET THE DFF, THOUGH. THE DFF DEVELOPS AFTER A FEW FRAMES. IF YOU CONCENTRATE ON THE TWO ΖΖ, YOU CAN SEE CLEARLY THAT AT THE BEGINNING, THEY MOVE UPWARDS INTO THEIR POSITIONS BEFORE REGULARLY MOVING LEFT.

THAT'S WHAT I FOUND INTERESTING ABOUT ALL THIS. I HAD QUITE A NUMBER OF POSSIBLE FORMATIONS, BUT IN THE END, THEY JUST "ASSEMBLE" INTO THE ALREADY KNOWN FORMATION. FOR EXAMPLE, I HAD CASES WHERE FLIES WERE JUST SCATTERED AROUND IN A 6X5 BOX, BUT AFTER AROUND 6-7 FRAMES THEY JUST FORM THE [I FORGOT THE NAME]:  
  
ΖΖΖΖΖ  
.ΗΗΖ.  
.Ζ...  
  
SO IN THIS CAVE WE COULD TAKE THE FRAME WHERE FIREFLIES START FROM THE FOLLOWING POSITION AND MAKE A FORMATION OUT OF THAT :D

dustin: I ACCIDENTALLY DETACHED ONE Η AND THE FORMATION STILL MOVES IN THE SAME WAY. LOOKS LIKE THERE WAS ONE FREE RIDER :D

darkstoorm: EXACTLY! I ALSO WORKED THAT OUT TODAY. THE BASIC FORMATION HAS 8 FLIES, AND ARBITRARILY MANY FREE RIDERS CAN BE ADDED. DEMO CAVE IS IN WORK :D
