Joshua Taylor and, 'Procedural Generation of Sokoban Levels', Proceedings of the 6th International North American Conference on Intelligent Games and Simulation (GAMEON-NA), pp. 5-12, EUROSIS, 2011. Abstract We describe an algorithm for the procedural generation of levels for the popular Japanese puzzle game Sokoban. The algorithm takes a few parameters and builds a random instance of the puzzle that is guaranteed to be solvable. Although our algorithm and its implementation runs in exponential time, we present experimental evidence that it is sufficiently fast for offine use on a current generation PC when used to generate levels of size and complexity similar to those human-designed levels currently available online. What is Sokoban? (Japanese for 'warehouse keeper') is a top-down puzzle in which the player pushes boxes around a grid into specially marked destinations.

Only one box may be pushed at a time, and boxes cannot be pulled. For example, the image at right shows how to move a single box to the destination location, which is marked with a cross in the top left corner. The player is represented by the yellow bulldozer. See and the for more information about this game.

I am trying to write IDA* for Sokoban puzzle problem (but It seems that my heuristic is not so good for making the algorithm fast. Jun 20, 2008 - than being a funny game, Sokoban has been an object of study for those. Puzzle by means of an efficient algorithm has turned out to be very.

(Disclaimer: We are not the creators of JSoko, and therefore cannot be held responsible for its content.) Four Levels Solved. The following level sets were created by our generator. Each one starts with easy (sometimes trivial) instances, and gets harder with each one you solve. To try it out for yourself, first install if you haven't already, then download one or more of the files below into your JSoko folder.

(Note that each level set below is a.) In JSoko, select Load Level from the menu bar, then External Level. You will see a dialog box containing a list of files. Select one, click the Open button, and start playing. • • • • • More Information.

I have already implemented a functionallity, when keeper automatically moves using breadth first search algorithm. Now I want it to move boxes automatically as well (if keeper can move box from source to destination without moving another boxes). How to I do it? I've tried modifying BFS, not haven't yet succeed. UPDATE: I don't need to solve the puzzle.

Instead I want to develop handy user-interface, when user can move boxes with their mouse. For this I need some algo, which would allow to compute move sequence. But it's only about moving single box and if only no other boxes should be moved in order to do so.
