What is Sokoban?
Sokoban is a logic game created by Hiroyuki Imabayashi in 1981 and later published in 1982 by a
Japanese software company, Thinking Rabbit inc.
How does it work?
Your goal as the sokoban (warehouse keeper) is to push all the red rubies onto the green pads in as few steps as possible.
This is done by controlling the sokoban's movement using the arrow keys on your keyboard or by using your mouse.
Only one ruby can be pushed at a time and cannot be pulled.
