- This is SOKOBAN.
-
- I saw this game first on a PC running MSDOS. I found the idea of the game so
- clever, that I made up my mind to make it run with an ascii terminal using
- curses so that we can play it on our MicroVAX/ULTRIX.
-
- Along with this package there are alot of screen files describing the various
- play levels. So what you need to do to install it on your own machine is:
-
- - Edit the header file sokoban.h to alter the given defines
-
- You have to note the following restrictions
-
- - The screen files must be readable for everyone who should be able to play
- his game
- - The score file should have read/write permission only for the owner
- of the executable program. Because of that sokoban must run with setuid.
-
- You can now compile it (just type 'make').
- If compilation is succesful you must initialize the score file (just type
- 'sokoban -c')
-
- There is no manual page. All you have to know when you first play the game is
- the command '?'. This gives you one screenful of information.
-
- After you have solved all the given screens (this will take a while) you will
- find the game boring (sure you will). I hope there will be a lot of players who
- will think out some new screens.
- To test your own screens copy them to the screen directory (with a new level
- number <nn>) and type sokoban -<nn>.
-
- PLEASE DO SO AND POST NEW SCREENS TO THE NET.
- OTHERWISE IT GETS BORING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
