Sokoban: A Game Of Forethought And Strategic Design
Copyright (C) 1993 by Jim Radcliffe
All Rights Reserved
This is the latest version of Sokoban. I listened to your suggestions and
complaints and this is the result.
I got rid of the ticking clock. I added a puzzle preview so you can get a
thumbnail preview of what the puzzle looks like. You can no take back your
last move, or maybe I should say keystroke. This still won't help you if
you get in to much of a hurry. You can now tell if a puzzle has been solved
because if it has, it will say so under the puzzle name.
Sorry, I did not...nor will I, add the ability to move the pawn with the mouse.
Press M to simplify the puzzle board. This is a toggle switch, pressing M
again put's it back in Klingon Mode (My son's gave it that name)
Hardware Requirements:
286 or better with VGA monitor, a keyboard would be nice too
What is Sokoban?
Sokoban is Japanese for "warehouse man". In Sokoban puzzles you must generally
push a number of boxes around the screen to a designated position. The key
word here is push. In Sokoban puzzles that is the only way you can move any
box. You must push it to its' destination.
What's the object of the Sokoban game?
Push all boxes n the board to the designated storage positions before time
runs out. You can only push one box at a time. Be careful you don't push
a box into a corner where you can't get it out.
Boxes may be pushed one at a time and only on plain tiles.
Shareware Version
This is the shareware version of Sokoban. It comes with a number of Sokoban
puzzles to solve. You can also edit a puzzle or create a new one but you can
not save your creation to disk with the shareware version of Sokoban. To do
that, you must register your copy of Sokoban.
If you want to register your copy of Sokoban:
The Registered Version cost $10.00 for U.S. residents.
Outside of the U.S. the registration fee is $13.00. The difference in
registration fee is due to shipping and handling for overseas users.
Registered users will receive the latest version of Sokoban, with a fully
functional editor (save to disk). This will allow you to create your own
Sokoban puzzles for others to solve.
