In the original Kingsoft Emerald Mine, and also in the EMC version up to V5, thare was a random delay when you push a rock.
my original code evolved through the kingsoft player to emv v6 (skipping v5). according to dox/game-v5.00.notes-uk in the emtools v5 disk (i probably got it from emerald web, i forget now) it says:
Emerald Mine Game v5.00

This is a short description of the changes made to the new version of the
emerald mine game. After months of hard work we succeeded in changing the
game significantly and remove some bugs from it.

- When pushing a STONE, NUT or BOMB, you now ALWAYS move. Which means that
you can now easily push over quicksand, enemies, etc.
if i remember correctly, in the kingsoft engine, rocks have a 50% chance of pushing, bombs have a 25% chance, and nuts have 12.5% chance.

i like the no delay :) some v6 caves would probably become impossible if you changed it :/
