MULTIBAN
An idea by Alfred Pfeiffer, July 2002.
Here the idea of the well known Sokoban game is extended to
mazes that contain (often also require) more than one pusher.
(Note: Sokoban was invented by Hiroyuki Imabayashi and is
Copyright(c)1982 by THINKING RABBIT Inc. JAPAN.)
Unfortunately the most available programs for Sokoban cannot handle such mazes.
Until now I know only the followings that allow to handle
these new setups, most of them made after I puplished my
spontan idea. Many thanks to the autors for submitting it.
The following some small examples were created by Alfred Pfeiffer.
(Thanks to Yoshio MURASE for allowing the use of his pictures
for the diagrams. Look to his homepage from Japan.)
Pseudo-Multiban:
When you collect more than one usual Sokoban mazes into one
page you get an Pseudo-Multiban puzzle.
Here is an example, build by me
from Yoshio MURASE's automatically generated maps.
Multiban puzzles by other authors:
- Erim Sever from Turkey build in 2005 some
Multiban puzzles and
extended also the idea of Multiban to the hexagonal
variant (Multi-Hexoban) and "Multiban Plus" (boxes
and targets with number).
You may download his collections from
this web page.
- Sven Egevad from Sweden created in 2005 some
Multiban puzzles and
also a lot of hexagonal variants (Multi-Hexobans).
Both collections (file types 'xsb' and 'hsb') are available in a
packed archive from his web page "Multiban and Hexoban Levels".
