Sokoban

A game I love

Simple rules can require divine strategies

During the summer of 2003 I auto-generated more than 100,000 levels of which I made a collection of 206 levels. I've put them in 10 subcategories. I only have levels for you, the game for which you can add them can be found at www.sokomind.de. (download section -> download sokomind)

It was a long time ago, since i made my first sokoban levels and since i wrote the lines above.


And a lot has changed. My levels have evolved into something much more worth noting. So, I deleted some of my previous levels and I have put some of my old levels in new collections.



It might come as a surprise to you, but some of my levels are record holders ! :-) For more information check my record page

New collections:



Sokodries1.txt

Play it online

50 extra small levels. The collection starts with easy levels but it gets harder and harder when going to the end of the collection. If you can solve all of them, you have become adept at the game of sokoban and are ready to tackle some hard, tantalising levels.




Zone26.txt

Zone26.zip

Zip format contains xsb-files

Play it online

117 levels, all with a floor size of 26 unit squares. Many of them are hard.. and tantalising. :-)
It is, for now, the best and most exhausting collection i have ever made.




Unfinished.txt

Play it online

The unfinished collection is a growing database with even harder levels than in my zone26.
89 levels already, more is yet to come.



ParallelWorlds.txt

7 Levels. Every level is situated in the same room, so they are similar to each other but the similarities are minimized.
These levels are hard, even after solving 6 of them ! :-)



Fibo.txt

About 38 levels, I think. Much of them are alike but this is not an ordinary collection too.

It's a special kind of levels. If you make them bigger or smaller by adding or deleting a 'slice' of there top, the amount of pushes will change drasticly. In fact,the amount of pushes has a big resemblance with fibonacci sequences.

So in this kind of levels, the minimum amount of pushes needed grows exponentially !




696.txt

Play it online

My sokobase, 696 levels !!
A huge number of levels that are only present in this collection ! Thnx to mr Kindermans and mr Pester to erase all duplicates.




orimaze.txt

5 weird levels.. perhaps because they are actually 4X4 orimazes in disguise ! Orimazes can be found at this site

orimaze-variation.txt

Orimaze variations

orimaze2.txt

2 supplementary levels, originated from 2 6X4orimazes.
Much harder to solve, only try at your own risk! The orimazes require 128 and 171 moves respectively. Most likely, even harder 6X4 orimazes could be created.

These levels were made to show how much variety can be created in the game of sokoban.
One could make minor changes to change the rules of the maze. Note: These levels could be played in both directions by switching goals by boxes and boxes by goals.




Old, but funny collections:


Blocks.zip

Levels shaped like Polyominoes. Good levels to start with. 11 levels


Squared.zip

Beautiful symmetrical patterns. The first levels I've made. Average difficulty. 43 levels


Rectangled.zip

Symmetrical patterns. Oh myself, (Oh my God) I love symmetry. Short solutions but mistakes are easy to make. Average difficulty. 11 levels



Other old worthy collections:


Lined.zip

You have to put the boxes in a line. Some of them or not so hard, some of them are so hard ! 38 levels


Various.zip

The remaining levels. Levels of many difficulties mixed together. 25 levels
