• Sokoban Touch
• Sokoban in JS

Proved PSPACE-complete in 1997

Pull or PushPull Sokoban proved PSPACE-complete in 2016

• reductions are from Nondeterministic Constraint Logic
• PushPull-1-P and Pull-1-P are PSPACE-complete and Push-1-p is NP-hard

Many different types of deadlocks.

Festival solver

Curry has minimal handcoded knowledge, learns from solving simpler cases.

Benchmark for several solvers

Which Sokoban boards have the longest shortest solutions?

Solving in reverse by pulling boxes, avoid deadlocks.
