Another Game from the Past…
I’ve always liked Sokoban — simple, yet challenging

This B4J version isn’t bug-free — there are a few small issues here and there. Unfortunately, I won’t have time over the next few weeks to debug everything, so I’m posting the code here in case someone feels like finishing or tinkering with the game.

Functionality Overview:​

• Standard Sokoban Clone
• Supports most common level file formats.
• LP0 support is rudimentary, as I couldn’t find a proper format description.
• Reads RLE level files.
• Supports various skin formats, including:
  • Individual image files
  • Sprite sheets with a configuration file e.g. Sokoban
• The sprite managerautomatically loads all available tiles.
  • Animation graphics are also loaded and assigned, but the display code is missing.
• The autotiler generates missing edge pieces for skins on the fly.
  • This mostly works well, but there's a known issue with inner corners: part of the outer border isn't being removed correctly. I've already spent quite a bit of time on this but haven’t been able to pinpoint the problem yet.
• The solver is based on A* and works quite well for small to medium levels.
  • Levels with more than 8 boxes, or with long tunnel structures, usually remain unsolved.
  • Different solving algorithms would be needed for those.

So yeah — a Sokoban clone with a few features already in place.

Have fun hacking around with it or just playing a few levels
