ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Overview ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
In SokoPM your object is to move a man i a storage and make him push boxes to
the right positions. When all boxes are moved to the right position, you have
solved the level.
The levels in SokoPM are sometimes equiped with conveyor belts, walk-only
squares, one-way squares and such exotic features as teleports.
When you've solved one level, you move to the next until you've reached the
last level. You can create your own levels in a separate program called
SokoEdit. Related topics:
