Project Title: PUZZLE GAME(SOKOBAN)

** ABOUT THE GAME **

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.

** RULES OF THE GAME **

The object of Sokoban is to push all stones (or objects) 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.

** OBJECTIVE OF THE GAME **

The objective of the game is very simple.One has to push all the objects in the pits in a minimal number of pushes. Use the arrow keys to move the player in any required direction.
