But there are some restrictions:
-you can not pull boxes
-you can not walk over boxes
-you can push only one box at time
and if you don't take care the boxes will come into positions able to barricade your way.
So for you it may become quite tricky to solve a room.
Especially for children and that they get more success and fun there are some room collections with easy rooms.
the actual version is available at
The program comes with no warranty or guaranty for its function but it's made as good as possible. you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions but without any changes at one or more files of the package.
Kohn's Sokoban fits to the most available rooms in the net, it supports skins and you can change the size of the skins. You can also save the actual standing of the game into bookmarks.

"No layout-files found in layout directory" - the directory ".\BMP" exists but it does not contain layout files. sokoban2 will not work without. |
The surface is skin-based and the skin-files are in the folder .\BMP\ basically I added some different skins but it's very easy to create others.
The files are in bitmap-format and they contain 8 quadratic pictures. Every Picture is separated from the others by a line with a width of one pixel. to the upper and the lower sides there are also one pixel lines place.
example:
one picture: 30x30 pixel
the whole skin: (30 + 1) x 8 + 1 = 249 Pixel width and 30 + 2 = 32 Pixel height.
or
one picture: 45x45 pixel
the whole skin: (45 + 1) x 8 + 1 = 369 Pixel width and 45 + 2 = 47 Pixel height.
The rooms are simple text-files and are as far as possible compatible to the most sokoban-programs in the net. Its structure is very easy visible by open one file with a texteditor.
