What is Sokoban?

In this very popular game, the warehouse keeper (Sokoban) must push

boxes to designated positions. The area in which he operates is

effectively a maze, and is viewed from above. He can only push a

single box at a time. He cannot pull. He cannot climb over boxes. He

can only move up, down, left, right. A puzzle is completed when all

boxes are in the designated locations.

Of course, you, the user, have to choose the route and move

the man. It might sound simple and boring, but try it; you'll soon

find how easy it is to get boxes into positions from which they cannot

be moved, and how hard it can be to get them to their designated

locations.

Sourkoban has hundreds of built-in maps to get you started but huge

numbers of others can be downloaded and used in the program. Future

releases of Sourkoban will include additional maps and solutions.

Map Editor

Create or edit maps. Save as files, solve them and save your

solutions. Then you can send them to friends and challenge them to

find a better way. In the editor you type in the standard map symbols

and the program displays them as graphical map elements so you can see

exactly what it will look like when you look for a solution.

The Python source code is included.
