GSokoban is a Sokoban game that has been implemented for GNOME, allowing users to enjoy the classic puzzle game on their desktops.
The GSokoban project is a GNOME implementation of a classic puzzle game, Sokoban, which was invented in Japan in 1982 by Hiroyuki Imabayashi. The objective of the game is to push a number of boxes to special spots in a maze, without getting stuck against walls or in corners.
One of the main advantages of using GSokoban is that it is free software, and licensed under the GNU General Public License. Furthermore, there are multiple image sets available, including ten sets that are included with the software. Additionally, the game offers a variety of map sets, with currently seven sets totaling 471 levels.
