Sokoban lessons - Storage: One entrance

There are lots of storage puzzles. To analyze them with comfort, it is necessary to make a division. But, what criteria establish? I have chosen the criterion of the number of entrances in the storage area: one entrance, two, three ... This is a criterion as valid as any other (for example, the number of goals in the storage area, etc.).

An interesting feature of the puzzles "one entrance", is that many of them are with closure from inside the storage area, so it is necessary to place the boxes temporarily in a certain way in the interior of the storage area, in order to close.

Criteria:

- The storage area has a single entrance.
- Storage area: minimum 10 goals.
- In addition to the storage area, in the puzzle may have other goals, but with a maximum of 20 %.

I reserve the "lines" for another specific post (see "Big lines").

You can download all puzzles (except commercial) here:






Level 39 - 倉庫番2, Thinking Rabbit, 1984, for FM-7

Author: unknown (Thinking Rabbit)
Title: 倉庫番2 ("Sokoban 2"; Thinking Rabbit, 1984) #39
Later publications: Soko-Ban (Spectrum HoloByte, 1988) #50; Sokoban Perfect (1989) #283
Date: February 1984
Difficulty: 5.5
Best moves/pushes: 1165/429

It is the last level of the "Original" collection and one of the most famous of this series. It can be considered as "one entrance", with a cargo area attached?

It is also the first puzzle of Sokoban with two innovations: 1) a stepped storage area; 2) a cargo area, to which it is necessary to move all boxes before proceeding to the storage. The closure of the storage is from inside.

As a curiosity, these are the first puzzles of Sokoban with a stepped storage area:
- Sokoban 2 (1984) #39 (= Original #50; Sokoban Perfect #283)
- Sokoban 2 (1984) #49 (= Sokoban Perfect #280)
- Sokoban (MSX, ASCII Corp., 1984) #51 (= Original #45; Sokoban Perfect #218)
- Sokoban Perfect (1989) #296

Website (F. Pokorný): kantorek.webzdarma.cz/sokobana.htm
Difficulty: 8 (H.A.)
Best moves/pushes: 1251/416 (Archanfel)

Complex storage. Actually, I think the original level is of František Pokorný (see fpok004; November 1999); then it was remodeled by Howard Abed and the own Pokorný (see fpok008, added 10 boxes; December 1999); finally Goethals added 2 boxes and deleted a wall (see Frederik Goethals #19, September 2000; and SokoCreation #68). Therefore, the author credits should be: František Pokorný + Howard Abed + Frederik Goethals. My rating: 7. See also of František Pokorný, #53 "Funnel".

Two storage areas of a single entrance. It is not difficult, but it is nice to solve.





Author: Andre Bernier
Title: #4 M B
Date: April 2004
Difficulty: 7.5
Best moves/pushes: 1308/514 (Sokobano)

The Canadian André Bernier surprised everyone with a series of puzzles of great difficulty, dedicated to their children. There are several with only one entrance to the storage area: do you choose? My doubt is between the #4, with the initials "MB" (Michael Bernier), and the last in the series, level #12, with the initials "RB" (Ryan). The latter is perhaps more difficult and exciting to solve (my rating: 8), but the level #4 is perhaps more beautiful. So, I recommend both :)





Author: Keijo Sopuli

Author: Vipul Patel
Title: 100,000 moves only #7
Date: September 2008
Difficulty: 5
Best moves/pushes: 90,686 (MikeArcher)

Vipul Patel has a lot of puzzles perfect for an afternoon of rain. I choose it because I think it is the most entertaining. As Vipul says in his commentary to the collection, the difficulty of this levels is to solve with less than 100,000 moves. I have not achieved :(  Note: it is imperative to use a program of Sokoban that allow to play automatically.

Finally, if you enjoyed this level and it is still raining, you can also try to solve these other "one entrance": 100,000 moves only #2, Mastervip #44, #59 et seq, #66; Maximum 100,000 moves #1.

It is the Sokoban maze more complicated and difficult I know. If you dare, I advise patience. With one box is easy, with two also, but with 16 ... :P   But what I like most is the title: indeed, EU is at present a real Chaos, and a factory of suffering for millions of people.

Sokoban lessons - Staircases

"niwa" has encouraged me to dedicate a "Sokoban lesson" to the theme of the "staircases". Well, this is my selection.

It is not easy to establish a concept of "starcaise". In this post, on an interim basis, I define the staircase as a passageway with stepped walls. The typical width of the passageway is 4 floors, as in this simple "staircase" of Nakamiya:

Hirohiko Nakamiya - Monster Sokoban 4-1

However, in this selection I include also widths of 6 and up to 8 floors, but not higher widths, because the "effect staircase" fades away (I have done an exception with Sasquatch X #31). Moreover, the typical "step" is the width of 1 floor, but I have also included examples of other step widths: 2 floors (JPK #12) and up to 3 floors (Sasquatch X #37).

In these structures is very important the placement of the goals and/or boxes: outside or inside the starcaise, and in the latter case, what is the distribution of the boxes and/or goals (alternate or continuous, etc.). This distribution of the boxes/goals determines the type of puzzle and the technique of its solution.

This type of structure sometimes gives rise to spectacular levels. Especially highlight two great authors: David W. Skinner
and especially Přemysl Zíka, with authentic masterpieces, result of an exquisite constructive technique.

A special case: the starcaise is the storage area, and is entirely occupied by goals. I do not include these cases, because I reserve them for a specific post.

No longer human (1948) is a famous Japanese novel by Osamu Dazai. What relation has this novel with the "X"? I don't know. There is a remodel of York Shen with 2 more boxes.

The theme of the "X" is a classic of the staircases. See especially Sokoban Selection (Itochu Corp., 1997) #44; Howard Abed, SokoCreation #45; David W. Skinner, Microban III #46; Přemysl Zíka, First levels #130, Primus gradus ad Olympo #93, Secundus gradus... #43.

Best moves/pushes: 292/64


Hard! Stairs "fix one", with two rows of goals and within a ring structure. It is really difficult to find spaces where to break the continuous chain of boxes. See also #70 Felix II.
