Sokban
Description
Welcome to the Sokoban game Sokoban is a PD-game where you have to push objects through a maze until they are all on the dumps. But, as you might have guessed, this isn't always that easy: * You can only push. * You have only strength to move one object. * The maze doesn't give you much room to manoeuvre. * Other objects tend to act as movable walls. The final goal of the game is to master all 85 levels. After that you are no longer a rookie, you will become Master of the Sokoban game. What's in the package?

The author's instructions
setup menu by hitting any other key not listed on the menu. The pc version is almost identical to the full HP 95LX version. Only some minor differences exist. Probably the most important one is that the setup file "sokoban.cnf" is stored in the current directory. The mini version for the HP 95LX is stripped of all actions regarding the setup file. The level program is a bonus and it shows you all levels. It is intended to run on your pc. The Sources Well, what do I have to say on this? Probably that it is for your private use only. After you've modified it, you may not distribute the version any further without my permission. If you compile "sokoban.c", you can specify several macros: * MINI_SOKOBAN Then you get the mini version. * MesSDOS Then you get the MS-DOS version. * If you specify none, you will get the full HP 95LX version. You shouldn't change "sok-code.c" by hand. Write a small program (like "level.exe") that dump all levels of "sok-code.c" in a readable form. Then edit that readable form and write a program that writes back the readable form to "sok-code.c". Finally, since the memory of the HP 95LX is limited and expensive, I removed all formatted I/O and have done all I/O at the lowest possible level. It makes a big difference. Known Bugs I don't know how you can let disappear the cursor and if it's invisible, how you can get the original cursor back. The solution I have used, is to put the cursor somewhere, where it doesn't distract your attention. Maintainance Hm..., well, if you send bug reports to me, I promiss to correct them if I can. But my time is a little bit limited. If someone out there is willing, to take over this task (and become coauthor), please contact me! Public Domain This software is public domain. You …
