NAME

sokoban - maze-like puzzle game

SYNOPSIS

/yale/games/sokoban [ -c ] [ -r ] [ -s ] [ -<nn> ]

DESCRIPTION

The problem is to push packets to saving positions by moving around and pushing only one packet at a time if possible. All you have to know when you first play the game is the command '?'. This gives you one screenfull of information.

You are represented by @@. The packets are $$. Movement is as in vi. You may not push packets through walls (##) or through each other.

You may make a "temporary save". This is useful if you think that all the moves/pushes you have made are correct, but you don't know how to go on. In this case you can temporary save (using the c command). If you then get stucked you need not undo all (using U); you can reset to your temporary save (with ^U).

If you have restored a saved game, a temporary save is automatically made at the start.

OPTIONS

-c:: create new score table (superuser only; prompts for password)
-r:: restore saved game
-s:: show score table
-<nn>:: play level #nn (<nn> must be greater than 0)
