[QUIZ][SOLUTION] Re: Sokoban (#5)
Here is one more solution to the Sokoban quiz. I think people might
be interested in seeing this one because 1) it uses a different
implementation strategy then the solutions posted back in 2004, and
2) it is somewhat more complete than those solutions.
I know that the Sokoban quiz was posted a long time ago. But I didn't
even know that Ruby existed back then. I first heard about Ruby and
became interested it in April of this year. In June, I picked up Best
of Ruby Quiz. It was from that book that I learned about the Sokoban
quiz.
I had a lot of fun implementing Sokoban in Ruby. The only difficulty
I encountered was in dealing with the Curses module, for which l was
not able to locate up-to-date documentation. In the end, I had to
fall back on trial-and-error to get the code involving Curses methods
to work.
