1 Year Review
It has been over a year since the last release, so it is time to review progress. Check my blog for progress: Review Part One, Review Part Two. Please contact me if you have any requests or feedback. In addition the project needs developers, so if you can help, drop us a line!
Feature Blocks
Game
Allow the player to solve puzzles in an animated environment, which includes advanced mouse movement. Sounds effects and music. The ultimate aim is for the user to play against the solver, or other human players. |
Library
The real home for any Sokoban enthusiast. The library features an extensible XML implementation with rich content, saved solutions, puzzle alternatives, a puzzle editor, and import and export tools. |
Solver
The ability to solver and analyse puzzles from the library. If you get stuck -- which we all have -- then this block can help you find a solution. It plots a graph of all possible move, highlighting the best ones. Technically, this is the only block that is interesting, so for those technically inclined have a look at the solver page. |
GeneratorThis is essentially the end-goal for the project. To be able to generate interesting (from a human perspective) puzzles, which are checked as valid by the solver, and then played in the Game/Library blocks. This feature is currently under development. |
