The Sokoban I knew has some goal cases where the objects must be pushed... I can't see goal cases..what's the goal in this version of Sokoban?

Perhaps it's written in the middle of  screen, but I can't read chinese

In the original sokoban game, you just need to push BOX onto destination without specifical sequence: you can push BOX A on destionation A, but BOX A on destination B is ok too.
The characters I used here come from old Chinese Character:

Code:

man- the guy who lifts one of his arm to say hello to you
horse(ie the box in original sokoban game)- it has 3 legs on the floor and 1 leg up
house(the destination in original sokoban game)- thatching with sharp roof
If a character is red, he/it is in the house. You just push all horses into the house, so that there is no blue horses and no red man left

I have thought that the characters look like the objects' shape, but if they confuse you, I have to say sorry :wink: . I can change it only if I know how to use BSAVE/BLOAD or picture in fbc.

You can just write a bitmap loader... or use one that's already written in QB.  Just Google for QBasic bitmap loader.

No, is not confusing, it just needed some explanation. I had never seen this version of Sokoban. Don't change the graphics, they are just beautiful!

My first completed game was Sokoban a few years ago. Here it is:

It's an ascii version. If it loads with 50 lines instead of 25, here's how you fix it. Restore the program so it's a window(Alt-Enter), open the properties box, go to 'Screen', select 25 lines, Save properties, exit sokoban, then re-open it. It should fix this bug. This bug only appears in Windows XP or 2000 I think. ::
