WorldCupSokerban Description

This is a soccer-themed, 3D sokoban puzzle game that includes 3 embedded solvers.

It has undo (u) and restart (r) functions. Comes with many puzzle files, each typically having dozens of "levels". The next (n) and previous (p) keys move between levels. The (Lshft) and (Rshft) keys move between the different puzzle files (there are currently 60). The (z) key creates a setpoint (reZero) so that subsequent restarts restore that setpoint.

To move the "pusher" use the arrow keys, ijkl keys, or wasd keys. The objective is to kick all the red and blue balls into the goal nets. Notice that these strange soccer balls roll in two perpendicular directions only!

The (=)-key or the (,)-key or the (.)-key trigger embedded solvers that helps you when you get stuck. You can single-step to a final solution, or to just part way toward the solution, in order to give you a hint. This feature is essential to learning to solve on your own.

Note: all 3 solvers can fail if the puzzle is too large or difficult, so the default timeout is 10 seconds.

The mouse can be used to control the game viewpoint. The mouse wheel adjusts the eye distance; a left button drag changes view angle; a right button click restores the default view settings.

Works on PCs running Windows, OSX, or GNU/Linux.

Features:

• laptop friendly;

• user definable puzzles;

• many predefined puzzles ranging from easy to nearly impossible;

• Windows, OSX, GNU/linux binaries included;

• full source code;

• uses OpenAL for the sounds, GLFW3 for input & window management;

• fully OpenGL 3.3 core profile Ada code;

• includes 3 "live" embedded autosolvers that help you to learn;

• no installation

• no dependencies

• simply unzip in your Downloads directory, and run.

• or unzip onto a USB flash drive [w/same file format] and run.

Embedded Autosolver Function

Three autosolvers are now embedded within this application so that pressing the ("=")-key at any time initiates an attempt by the primary solver [puller] to solve the present state of the current puzzle within a limited amount of time. If successful then you will see an onscreen prompt to continue to press the same key to single-step toward the solution. Otherwise you will see no such prompt. These embedded solvers are good for small and dense layouts; but not so good at large, sparse, or difficult puzzles.

Similarly, the 2nd alternate solver [ibox] is initiated with the (",")-key. The 3rd alternate solver [hbox5] is initiated with the (".")-key and is the most capable.

Thus, you can give yourself a headstart toward a correct solution by limited use of this feature. Once you think you can solve it yourself, stop using the equal-key and proceed manually. This really helps when you cannot see what your next move should be.

Embedded autosolver failure might imply the present state of the puzzle is impossible to solve, or simply that the autosolver failed due to time constraint, or insufficient capability.

Finally, a single command-line argument (decimal float) specifies a persistent timeout interval to wait for the internal autosolver before giving up. The default is 10.0 seconds. A new setting remains in effect until a different setting is specified using another command-line argument.

For example:

* binw64\sokerban.exe 30.0

initiates the Windows version using 30 second timeout rather than the 10 second default.

The default method used by embedded solver Hbox5 [ (.)-key ] can now be reset using the k-key, where k is 0..5.

Summary:

solver keys [within parentheses]:

• (=) bfs#1 [iplr; for small puzzles];
• (,) bfs#2 [ibox; medium]
• (.) hbox5 [most capable];
• (0..5) sets hbox5 method [details below]

6 method options for hbox5:

• 0 quickest
• 1 more efficient
• 2 suppress hungarian estimator (for dense puzzles)
• 3 like 0 but tries to reduce total moves
• 4 like 1 but tries to reduce total moves
• 5 like 2 but tries to reduce total moves

For further details see:

• https://sourceforge.net/projects/hbox4/ (4 is correct)

External Autosolvers

There are three external autosolvers without time constraints, and larger memory constraints. There are many large or sparse puzzles the first two solvers cannot handle, but they are pretty good at solving the small dense ones. Hbox5 is the most capable.

To run type: [exeName puzzleFile LevelToSolve]

EG on windows type:

external_solvers\iplr3r.exe games\pico_22.sok 3

...to solve the 3rd level in file pico_22.sok.

EG on linux type:

external_solvers/hbox5_gnu games/pico_22.sok 3

EG on OSX type:

external_solvers/ibox3r_osx games/pico_22.sok 3

what is special about this project?

It uses the Ada programming language and modern OpenGL methods, with textures, shaders and uniforms. Compiles and runs on Windows, OSX, GNU/Linux systems.

Focusing on portability, transparency, and open source freedom, this project relies exclusively on F.O.S.S. tools: a thin GLFW3 binding, a thin OpenGL binding, a PNG reader by Stephen Sanguine & Dimitry Anisimkov, OpenAL Audio with a homebrew binding, and a GNAT compiler.

The linux-build can run on multiple Linux distros! The Windows build can run on Win10 + Win11.

I am short of testers, and would appreciate any feedback... Open source Ada developers are welcome to help improve or extend this app. Developer or not, send comments, suggestions or questions to: fastrgv@gmail.com

Setup & Running:

Mac/OSX users should read "osx-setup.txt". Windows users should read "windows-setup.txt".

Unzip the archive.

• On Linux & Windows, 7z [www.7-zip.org] works well for this. The proper command to extract the archive and maintain the directory structure is "7z x filename".

• On OSX, Keka works well for 7Z files. The command-line for Keka is:

  • /Applications/Keka.app/Contents/MacOS/Keka --cli 7z x (filename.7z)

After the archive is unzipped...

Open a commandline terminal, and cd to the install directory.

You will see a new directory, that may be renamed.

Users should then cd to the install-directory, then, at the command line, type the executable name to start the game.

Mac users type:

• sokerban_osx

Windows users type

• sokerban.bat

from the installation directory. Or to set the standard default of 10 seconds wait before giving up for internal solvers type:

• binw64\sokerban.exe 10.0

Linux users can type:

• sokerban_gnu

Here too,

• sokerban_gnu 30.0

sets internal solver wait to 30 seconds.

You can also run the windows EXEs on Linux under wine thusly:

• wine cmd < sokerban.bat
• wine binw64/sokerban.exe

Note: I suggest that Windows users DO NOT try running the linux executables under WSL [Windows Subsystem for Linux]; that mode is not supported. Simply use the windows version.

If an older Linux system complains that /dev/dsp/ cannot be opened, prepend the command with "padsp",EG: "padsp (ExeName)".

The install-directory should contain subdirectories named "data", "libs", and "games".

The linux executable must have access to ./libs unless your system already has the libraries it contains. Then, at the command line type:

• sokerban_gnu

Remember, the WASD or IJKL or arrow keys control movements.

View Controls:

• Your mouse can pan [up/down] & zoom
• mouse-button-box-click: shows possible destinations for box
• mouse-button-goal-click: possible matching boxes

Also, the keyboard controls are:

• (c) zoom Closer
• (f) zoom Further
• (o) zoom default
• (PgUp) move viewpoint North
• (PgDn) move viewpoint South
• (/) tilt upward
• (\) tilt downward
• (=) try to autosolve (method #1 = iplr3r => fewest moves)
• (,) try to autosolve (method #2 = ibox3r => fewest pushes)
• (.) try to autosolve (method #3 = hbox5 => most capable)
• (h) HELP
• (b) Male Avatar (Boy)
• (g) Female Avatar (Girl)
• (0..5) set solution method for hbox5, where :
  • 0: fast fastest method
  • 1: pullOpt minimize pushes
  • 2: nonHung nonHungarian
  • 3: 0+mWt
  • 4: 1+mWt default
  • 5: 2+mWt

You can download my hbox5 stand-alone sokoban solver for greater details:

• https://sourceforge.net/projects/hbox4/ (4 is not a typo)

Other controls, as indicated by the help screen:

• (esc) to quit
• (u) to undo a move
• (r) reset to the setPt;
• (enter) restart puzzle
• (n) next-level in current file
• (p) previous-level in current file
• (L-shift) previous file
• (R-shift) next file
• (z) reZero the setpoint

Note also that a specific sokoban file may be loaded by naming it on the terminal window command line with the following syntax:

• [sokerban] sokfilepath maxlevels startlevel

where [sokerban] can be sokerban_gnu, sokerban_osx or binw64\sokerban.exe

For example on linux you could type

• sokerban_gnu games/original_50.sok 50 2

to tackle level 2 from the original_50 sokoban file. In this single-file mode, you can still use the next-level(n) & previous-level(p) keys, however, the next/previous files (R-shift/L-shift) keys are disabled.

================================================================

Build Requirements:

• a recent GNAT Ada compiler;
• OpenGL 3.3 (or better) and a graphics card that supports it.

================================================================

Build instructions:

cccgnu.sh/cccosx.sh/ccc.bat are the build scripts for the autosolvers "hbox5", "iplr3r" and "ibox3r".

The following build scripts work for GNU Ada [with its own g++], which are in the ~/buildScripts/ directory:

• msWin64 => setpath64.bat + wbuildall.bat

Please read ~/docs/gnuAdaOnWindows.txt.

• Mac/OSX => obuildall.sh

• GNU/Linux => lbuildall.sh

utilizes the relocatable libraries that I deliver in this bundle under ./libs/. I use this to build the gnu/linux executable that I deliver named sokerban, which should run in the presence of ./libs.

If the delivered linux binary does not run...

if you have wine installed, this should work:

• wine binw64/sokerban.exe

OR you can:

• Manually install GNU Ada compiler. See "gnuAdaOnWindows.txt".
• Rerun the compile script lbuildall.sh.
