Sokoban: rules and examples
Bring your attention to one round of Sokoban. Push every crate onto a target. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Push two crates onto their targets in compact 7×7 rooms. The starting layouts can be solved; an unhelpful push may still trap a crate.
Give this approach a try
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The goal to keep in mind
Push every crate onto a target. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Making your moves
- Move through empty floor.
- Push one crate into empty space.
- Never pull or push two at once.
- Undo a deadlock and continue.
Controls
Arrow keys or direction buttons. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use one clear input at a time.
Learn from a sample situation
A crate in a non-target corner cannot be recovered by pulling. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Read the matching step again.
Check this before moving on
Consider the player’s access behind crates. Compare the situation with the worked example. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
