On that note, I'm trying to write a Sokoban map converter to your SokoMouse edition. Can you explain why you are using 3 maps when all the other Sokoban maps I've seen do it in one.

Peter,

SokoMouse is definitely a nicer version of the game. I'm trying to write a Sokoban map to SokoMouse maps converter. It looks like a parsing job to me to build the three needed files. Am I missing something or are the two map formats incompatible between games? Thanks for the explanation of your three map files, it helps to better understand your game design.

Thanks Peter for the history of SokoMouse.

I think my direction for the SB version of SokoMouse will be to use a two dimensional array to store map data. This will allow me to use the existing format and add a routine to load Sokoban text maps if a filename is an argument to starting the game.

map[level,layer] = binary_map_string

Peter,

I think I can generate SokoMouse map arrays from Sokoban maps. Thanks for your help Peter!

Damn you're quick!

I thoiught I could fix my typo in my script before you saw the original post. Anyways I think I'm good to go. 

[JRS]

I'm curious why the double 9's in level 2 for the outside walls?

I can't see anywhere in the program 9 is even referenced as a point in the maps. Was this a leftover from some other feature?

[JRS]

This looks like the Sokoban map standard coding method.

• @ - Map elements for the man.
  
• $ - Map elements for box.
  
• . - Map elements for designated location.
  
• + - Map elements for the man in designated location.
  
• * - Map elements for box in designated location.
  
• (space) - Map elements for passage.
  
• # - Map elements for wall.
  

I would like to adapt the ScriptBasic version of SokoMouse to using a standard Sokoban map format.

Too bad this open source Sokoban game is in Pascal.    (setup just for Peter)

[JRS]

Is this a Sokonban from the hell ?

You're the skulls & crossbones guy and I even used your original SokoMouse background. I would say that is a custom Peterbuilt rig if you ask me. 

Do we have a Soko mania now ?

Actually I have spent way too much time on this already. I could never top the version above and I'm not a gamer anyways. It was my first game coding project and you know what they say about the first time. 

If I have some spare time, about the only thing I might add to SokoMouse is the ability to read a file of Sokoban maps and a undo feature. Deadlock notice, solvers and map creators are beyond me and not my cup of tea.

Thanks for all the time you invested in this, it was a lot of fun. (and time consuming)

Microsoft has destroys my life. I am  software beggar now.

Next time I take a run down to Redmond, I deposit a few of these signs around the Microsoft campus as feedback from the other side of the pond.

Peter,

This example would be interesting to see running using Simple Window.
