I write a sokoban batch script for windows xp 32 bits.

That's right; when the boxes have been lined up either by row or by column, then it's trivial to solve the level from that point.

I don't know if there is a "mechanical" way to solve the C type levels. However, I Sun, 15 Nov 2009 09:36:15 GMT brian_damgaard_dk http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/sokoban/message/3111 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/sokoban/message/3111 ... Come to think of it, the Sasquatch II-17 level isn't a regular checkerboard level because it misses a goal square in the middle.

That makes me curious if I've overlooked something, because to me it seems easy enough to get the pusher out of the center without causing damage which Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:14:09 GMT minglw http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/sokoban/message/3107 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/sokoban/message/3107 ... Actually, a solution with less than 200 pushes was known for at least two years already. Since I didn't see the solution originator post his solution in Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:48:51 GMT plamat http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/sokoban/message/3106 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/sokoban/message/3106 the 1457/236 solution is from Sokobano himself, I hope he won't mind if I give it here, maybe it could help : Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:36:40 GMT brian_damgaard_dk http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/sokoban/message/3105 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/sokoban/message/3105 ... That's a splendid observation, Philippe! With 162 boxes, and compared to the other checkerboard solutions we've seen, I would have expected a best solution Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:10:54 GMT plamat http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/sokoban/message/3103 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/sokoban/message/3103 I agree with Brian and his 5 boxes-by-axis theory. The 66-0 could be the limit of the 1-push-per-box solutions for "O" levels. The 65-C could be the limit of Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:01:11 GMT brian_damgaard_dk http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/sokoban/message/3102 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/sokoban/message/3102 Hi Jordi, I'm definitely *not* good at optimizing solutions. If you'd like to see what the real "magicians" can do when they strive for optimality, I can Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:36:28 GMT Jordi http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/sokoban/message/3101 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/sokoban/message/3101 Brian, I'd like to ask how do you optimize chessboards so big, and getting such excellent results?!! In chessboards of 50-80 boxes I never manage to get the
