Game and Cave Properties
ID	Name	Description	Default value	Actions
1	AcidProperties	Element to eat, growth propability	DIRT 0.03	[edit]
4	AmoebaGrowthProb	Amoeba slow (and fast) growth probability (two or one number)	0.03 and 0.25	[edit]
5	AmoebaThreshold	The percentage of the cave the amoeba is allowed to occupy before turning to boulders (number).	0.227	[edit]
6	AmoebaTime	Amoeba slow growth time (number)		[edit]
7	AmoebaType	BD1: Timer starts immediately (even before the cave start signal). BD2: Timer starts at the first possibility of growing. (default) 1stB: Like BD2, except the timer does not start before the cave start signal.		[edit]
8	Author	Cave (or game) author (string)	for cave default equals game author	[edit]
12	BiterProperties	Delay; Element to eat	0 DIAMOND	[edit]
11	BladderProperties	Colides with	DUMMY	[edit]
13	BonusLife	Bonus life score (number, default = 500)		[edit]
14	BonusTime	Reward for collecting a clock		[edit]
15	BorderProperties	BD1: When elements move to upper or lower border, their delay state become permanent. (default if Levels=5) PLCK: Like BD1, except that the upper and lower borders aren't scanned at all. (default if Levels=1) 1stB: Upper and lower border are wrapped around. Detection is implemented through copying the opposided lines. Movement is redirected. If the active guy steps off the border, the cave is scrolled to the other side and the game is paused during that time. perfect: Like 1stB, except the detection is also done through redirection. (Has no line shifting and no side effects) wraparound: The cave scrolls endlessly instead of back, ie. you won't see any borders. Object-instructions may wraparound as well. If they do, the type must be specified beforehead. In case of BD1 or PLCK, the structures are truncated at the upper and lower borders and line shifted at the side borders.		[edit]

68	DynamiteValue	Points gained when a Dynamite is collected		[edit]
28	Effect	element1 element2 This applies a Lord Diego-Effect, except it is much more general. There may be several Effect attributes. Replaces element 1 with element 2 in the effect table.		[edit]
59	EmeraldValue	Points gained when an Emerald is collected		[edit]
29	EnemyDirection	direction [type [time]] (time is a number, default=forward BD1) direction can be forward or backward type can be BD1: never change direction 1stB: change direction every time seconds, first change occours at the start signal CrLi: like 1stB, except the direction does not change at the start signal.		[edit]
3	Engine	Specific Engine this file is intended for. Depends of the Gametype		[edit]
30	Fingerprint	Is used to validate a demo recording or a highscore table which makes it authentic for competition purposes. For validating a demo recording, the Fingerprint is placed at the end in the [demo]-section. This is a CRC of the Executable, the demofile (if it is not part of the BDCFF-file) and the [game]-section including all its [cave]-sections. Nested existing other [demo]-sections, [highscore]-section and the Fingerprint itself are excluded from the CRC. For validating a highscore table, the Fingerprint is placed in the end of the [highscore]-section. This is a CRC of the Executable and the BDCFF-file, but all [demo]-sections are excluded from the CRC.		[edit]
31	Fontset	Font set, for example "space" for BD3	"original"	[edit]
72	ForcefieldTime	The time a forcefield keeps active after collecting		[edit]
32	FrameTime	Default=200; 200 ms per frame, ie 5 frames per second. (CaveDelay and FrameTime can not be combined)		[edit]
70	GateWheelTime	The time a timeGatewheel keeps spinning after activation		[edit]
10	GraphicSet	Name of the Graphicset or Spriteset to be used	The default graphics of the engine	[edit]
33	HatchingDelay	The guy's hatching delay. This is the number of scanning frames inbox will be flashing before the guy's hatching. (number, default=21)		[edit]
34	InitialBorder	Initial border element (element name). This element is used to draw the border. Default is STEELWALL		[edit]
35	InitialFill	Initial fill element (element name). This element is used to fill entire field, except for the border . Default is DIRT		[edit]
36	InOutBoxType	BD1: Alternate between full and empty on each appearance (if there is an even number of active In/Outboxes, they won't flash) 1stB: (default) Like BD1, except flashing is enforced by ensuring the first accouring In/Outbox has a different state on each scan. synchronious: All In/Outboxes have a common state alternating on each scan. This is common behavior in many Boulder Dash Clones. The guy can only appear when its Inbox is in its empty state. Any Inbox in its filled state has to wait to "flash" to its empty state first. Hence the Inbox behavior has influence on the pattern several guys appear.		[edit]
37	Intermission	Is intermission (boolean, default value = false). Available only in [cave] section		[edit]
38	IntermissionProperties	Can scroll, immediate bonus life, bonus life when solved (booleans, default values = false true false).		[edit]
39	IntermissionSize	Default intermission cave width and height (two numbers, default values = 20 and 12). Available only in [game] section		[edit]

42	Lives	Initial number of lives [maximum number of lives] (numbers, default = 3 9). Available only in [game] section		[edit]
43	MagicWallTime	Magic wall milling time (number)		[edit]
44	MagicWallType	BD1: (default if Levels=5) when a boulder falls into it, the caves scan restarts from top left. Amoebas beyond that point aren't count. Amoeba can be converted because of this. BD2: (default if Levels=1) no special timing, does not care about amoeba. 1stBN: like BD2, except timer does not start before the cave start signal (however, the wall can be activated before that point.). 1stBA: like 1stBN, but does convert amoeba (without the BD1 behavior)		[edit]
