A "pyramid" is a triangular structure (usually with two stepped sides), and inside her the goals are usually grouped in the shape of chessboard. The most classic example is the puzzle of Yoshio Sakae, "Pyramid Sokoban" (Sokoban Revenge #283, see below).

The layout of the goals is in the form of "string", but is also fun to solve.

A little claustrophobic ... Take it calmly.
Bonus! "Triangles"
It is the same type of puzzle that the "pyramid", but the exterior walls they have any form, non-triangular.

Curious ... You will need to put your elbows on the table to solve it ...
I have some questions.
ReplyDeleteHow were those solutions submitted? Is there any community for sokoban? (I'm new at sokoban.)
And if possible, how can I see those solutions? Those levels are so hard so I want to see how they were solved.
"How were those solutions submitted?"
DeleteMost of the solutions are mine
"Is there any community for sokoban?"
Yes. I recommend these two websites of Sokoban:
- Let's Logic
http://www.letslogic.com/
- Sokoban.org
http://sokoban.org/
"And if possible, how can I see those solutions?"
I can copy and paste here same the solutions of 1 or 2 puzzles, if they interest you
Oh, the first link you posted seems really awesome!! Thank you for introducing it!
DeleteBy the way, how can I see or copy those solutions? For example: http://www.letslogic.com/puzzle_info.php?id=878
I'm also interested in optimized solutions for those official levels, but I have no idea to find them...
With the exception of very specific cases, the Sokoban players do not publish solutions to levels, because then the level it is no longer of interest.
Delete"For example: http://www.letslogic.com/puzzle_info.php?id=878"
OK. Here is:
ullluuuLUllDlldddrRRRRRRRRRRRRlllllllllllllulldRRRRRRRRRRRRRRllllllluuululldDDuulldddrRRRRRRRRRRurDllllllluuulLulDDDuulldddrRRRRRRRRRRdRRlUllllllluuulluuurDDuullDDDDDuulldddrRRRRRRRRRRuRRlDllllllluuuLLulDDDuulldddrRRRRRRRRRRdRUluR
Oh, that was just an example. I already have a solution of it.
DeleteBy the way, so it seems it's impossible to see the solutions, at least from letslogic. Then is there any hope to see those solutions, well-optimized solutions for official levels?(I mean, levels from thinking rabbit) For a 'real' example, there is 422/174(p) of solution for sokoban perfect #208. I've found until 424/174, but couldn't find better one(letslogic seems also have same solution) and I have hundreds of levels like this...
My best solution moves and pushes for SP-208 is: 418/178 :( Also I would like to see the solution 422/174 (p)... :O
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteAnd for the pyramids, yes, you're right. They will loose my interest if I get solutions without enough efforts. I'll try to solve those huge pyramids myself, and I will ask for a help if there's no longer hope. Thank you :)
DeleteOK. At your disposal
