>From the change set:
"The game was apparently invented in the early 1980s by
Thinking Rabbit, a computer games company in the town of
Takarazuka, Japan. The game design is said to have won
first prize in a computer games contest. Because of the
simplicity and elegance of the rules, and the intellectually
challenging complexity of the composed problems, Sokoban
quickly became a popular pastime. The object of Sokoban is
to push all stones (or boxes) in a maze, such as the one to
the right, to the designated goal areas. The player controls
the man and the man can only push stones and only one at a time.
The restriction of only being able to push the stones makes
this game challenging: One can create unsolvable positions.
Players will soon learn that this is the main obstacle in
solving problems. Advanced players also try to find shorter
and shorter solutions, measured in stone pushes and man moves."
