Write original solution for UnNetHack Sokoban 4d

New page

This is one of two new possible maps for the final level of [[Sokoban]] in [[UnNetHack]]. It has 16 boulders and holes.

Behind the holes is a treasure zoo, beyond which is a set of closets, three of which contain Sokoban prizes, and only one of which can be picked up: a [[bag of holding]], a [[cloak]] (of [[cloak of magic resistance|magic resistance]] or [[cloak of displacement|displacement]]) and an [[amulet]] (of [[amulet of reflection|reflection]], [[amulet of life saving|life saving]] or [[amulet of ESP|ESP]]).

== Strategy ==

The following solution may not be very fast or organized. Improvements welcome. Like all Sokoban levels it can be solved without making any boulders 'stick'.

All boulders are replaced by letters so they can be referred to. Moving the boulders is shortened to '''r''' for right, '''l''' for left, '''u''' for up, '''d''' for down. An asterisk is used to denote the last move filled a hole (and thus removed the boulder from the game). So "'''N''' ddrr*" means move boulder '''N''' two times down and two times to the right into a hole.

Arrange the boulders in the middle and lower areas so they can be pushed into holes later

------------ '''J''' rrr
|.+......+.| '''M''' lll

Check the room with the locked door for magic wands before filling in the next six holes:

------------ '''P''' rrrr rru*
|.+......+.| '''N''' rrrr rrrr uu*
|-|......|-------- '''O''' d___ ____ __ rrrr rrru uu*

-----|K--L.---|^|
|...|.....+..#^|
|.....M..-|..#^|
|-.----O---##-^|
|.....N@P......|
|...|...-----..|

The next four boulders fill holes in order of their distance from them:

------------ '''I''' l
|.+......+.| '''J''' ____ ____ ___ llll lddd rrdd rrrr rrru uuuu uu*
|-|......|-------- '''I''' d___ ____ ___ llll lddd rrdd rrrr rrru uuuu uuu*

|....|.....J.-|@|
-----|.--..---|.|
|...|........#.|
|........-|..#.|
|-.----.---##-.|
|..............|
|...|...-----..|
--------- ----

The last six boulders need to be arranged so they don't get each other stuck:

------------ '''C''' ll
|.+......+.| '''F''' r
|-|......|-------- '''B''' d
|.+......+^^^^^..|
|-|......|-----..|
|.+......+.| |^--

|....|.......-|.|
-----|.--..---|.|
|...|........#.|
|........-|..#.|
|-.----.---##-.|
|..............|
|...|...-----..|
--------- ----

Now the final holes can be filled:

------------ '''C''' ____ _ rrrr rrrr lddd llll lddd rrdd rrrr rrru uuuu uuuu uu*
|.+......+.| '''A''' rr__ _ rrrr rrrr lddd llll lddd rrdd rrrr rrru uuuu uuuu uuuu l*

|.+......+.| |^-- '''B''' ur__ _ rrrr rrrr lddd llll lddd rrdd rrrr rrru uuuu uuuu uuuu llll l*
|-------------|.|
|.....|...|...|.|
|.A@C.........|.|

The level is now complete, allowing you to pick up one of the three randomly-chosen Sokoban prizes, each of which is on top of a burnt engraving of "[[Elbereth]]".
