Sokoban solvers are programs that solve sokoban levels. There are many programs available that can solve Sokoban levels (see Sokoban solvers).

There are different solver types:

  1. Solvers which just try to find any solution
  2. Solvers which try to find push optimal solutions
  3. Solvers which try to find push optimal solutions with best moves
  4. Solvers which try to find move optimal solutions
  5. Solvers which try to find move optimal solutions with best pushes

Usually a solver is designed to just find any solution. If the solution is to be optimized an optimizer program can be used (Optimizers).

To get an impression of what levels are solvable by which solver here are some statistics.

GroupEffort Test Suite

The reason for benchmarking the GroupEffort test suite is to show the limits of the veracity of the statement made in section "6 Conclusion" of the thesis, where the author claims that the GroupEffort solver "outperforms existing solvers".

The benchmarks show that this was only true for the cherry-picked small test set at the time the thesis was published, never for the large and presumably more representative test set.

(b): 1566 solutions for the best GroupEffort solver configuration with a 5 minutes time limit.
