Level scrolling

levels larger than window: scrolling
levels larger than window: scrollbars

Briefly, the first line is there to give a program the chance to tell that it has a scroll feature, and the second line is there to tell if the program does it the right way - with scrollbars.

Since the first graphical user interfaces emerged, scrollbars have been used for depicting the situation where a document doesn't fit in the window, so the user can rightfully expect to find that logic (or something equally user-friendly) in a Sokoban program as well.

Therefore, it's embarrasing for programs that requires scrolling if they don't have scrollbars or something equivalent. The line "levels larger than window: scrollbars" must be listed so readers can see this major design flaw, and so new programmers are reminded that they definitely should do better.

On the other hand, Sokofan deserves credits for at least having a scroll feature, despite the fact that it's not done the right way with scrollbars. The user doesn't get any visible clue that the board is bigger than the window, and the user must read the instructions to find the keyboard and mouse/key combinations that controls the scrolling.

So the line "levels larger than window: scrolling" is there to give Sokofan a chance to tell that it indeed has a scroll feature, even though it's not as user-friendly as the user rightfully can expect from a good Sokoban clone.

Multiple views of a level

A user often works on several alternative paths at the same time. It would be a great help if each of them was fully visible. For instance, multiple views are beneficial during the process of optimizing existing solutions.
