Quite good, just too bad that level 12 is unsolveable (just like level 10, until I solved it of course ;)

Added an optional background image and fixed the Sound On/Off.

Here is pack of 52 puzzles... only 3 boxes in each but still rather tricky, put the file in the PPack folder:

Heres the solution to Level 12:

they are all solvable..honest. :)

I believe you, but don't spoil it.

Started out on a pack of my own, nothing really hard so far though, by the way, what's level 15 about?


coffeedotbean(Posted 2004) [#6]
yeah level 15 I solved and then saved over it... a quick fix ;)

I can post the editor if you like.


eBusiness(Posted 2004) [#7]
Ah, you got a real editor, probably more comfortable than messing with text files :) Though those 52 took some of confidence.

Heres the Jimmy Sokoban editor put it in the main folder:

I'v thought about doing a fun wee game liks this for a while now, as a little side project, but I was wondering how you manage to work out the levels.

I know some of them only have one possible way of completing them, so how do you go about working that out.


coffeedotbean(Posted 2004) [#10]
Do a search for a program called rbox its a program that will generate sokoban puzzles, you give a solved puzzle and it will try and solve it if it can be solved or you dont run out of memory.

I created a few with that, but a quick search on the net for "sokoban levels" turns up 1000's of em.

Just look for puzzles that have no restritions on using the puzzles and then write a little bit-o code to convert them into a format you want to use.

Simple. ;)

Yeah me to i just solved puzzle 10 :D


Perturbatio(Posted 2004) [#12]
Rbox can be found on the downloads page of this site: http://www.sokomind.de/index.html

What no bug report Perturbatio? ;)


Perturbatio(Posted 2004) [#14]
If you insist... :)

Bug#1: When loading a puzzle pack, if you click cancel, it loads it anyway.

Bug#2: The export solution button doesn't appear to work.

Also, it would be nice to get a context menu for copy/paste in the solution manager.

Bug#3: sometimes the z-order of the game window is set to be the bottom most, it happens when loading (or even cancelling the loading of) a puzzle pack.


Perturbatio(Posted 2004) [#15]
Bug#4: if you look at a solution in the solution manager, then load another puzzle pack and look at the solution manager, the old solution is still there until you select a level.


coffeedotbean(Posted 2004) [#16]
Hehe! I knew you would find something.

I'll see to all your points.


Perturbatio(Posted 2004) [#17]

Hehe! I knew you would find something.



It's a gift I have ;)


Michael Reitzenstein(Posted 2004) [#18]
Turning the sound off via the menu did not appear to work, and faced with the threat of listening to the terrible sound effects for the duration of the game, I quit. Definitely a bug you want to fix!


Perturbatio(Posted 2004) [#19]

Added an optional background image and fixed the Sound On/Off.




He fixed that and re-uploaded. Sound on/off works fine for me.


Reborn(Posted 2004) [#20]
Yes!

This game is great! I liked Sokoban in the earlier days and now this wonderful little remake! :) Perfect for playing inbetween and when you don't know what to do!

My sister likes it too! ;)

Now we are at the bug reports, if you solve a level, and edit it, it will still be registered as solved, try cheking if the solution is actually a solution.

Or better yet, just reset the solution once the puzzle has been edited.

Where are the online scores?


coffeedotbean(Posted 2004) [#24]
More bugs.. im on it.

No online scores yet, need to build the website first.
