Info

Choice points

A choice point in the game is when the player changes from one box to another, or finishes a series of moves that pushed a box in a single direction.

Several programs have replay features related to choice points. Sokofan, for example, has replay buttons (called "smart do/undo") to move from one choice point to another. Another example is the game history browser in Sokoban YASC which works with choice points instead of individual moves.


Mouse Move Control: Select and drop

Lift and drop. Left click on a box to lift it, move to the wanted position and left click again to drop. Lift and drop is easier for long moves than the drag and drop.


Mouse Move Control: Drag and track

Point at the pusher with the mouse and move it in the direction you want. The pusher will track your movements.


Simple deadlock detection

Simple deadlock detection deals with deadlock types that require rather simple analysis of the board and the game state. Good examples are:


Advanced deadlock detection

Advanced deadlock detection deals with deadlock types that require quite sophisticated computations. Good examples are:


Lowerbound of solution length regarding pushes

For solving a level all boxes have to be pushed to goals. A program can calculate the distance of every box to the nearest goal. While doing this it is presumed only one box is on the board (hence the box does not need to be pushed around other boxes). The sum of all these box distances to their goals results in a lowerbound - no matter how the boxes are pushed to their goals the level can never be solved with fewer than the calculated number of pushes. Some programs can calculate a lowerbound for the solution length (in pushes):
number of pushes so far + sum of all box distances to their nearest goals (presuming no other boxes are on the board).
This lowerbound can be useful in levels like the "Kobus Theron"-series.
