About the application:

What is WaHoKe? It is just abbreviation for WAreHOuse KEeper. And "warehouse keeper" is just translation of the Japanese word sōkoban (倉庫番). But what the sokoban is? Sokoban is a kind of transport puzzle, in which the user pushes boxes or crates around in a warehouse, trying to receive them to storage places. Idea of this mini game was made in 1981 by Hiroyuki Imabayashi. The mini game is played on a board of squares, where each square is a floor or a wall. Some floor squares include boxes, and some floor squares are marked as storage locations. The user is confined to the board, and may move horizontally or vertically onto empty squares (never through walls or boxes). The user can also move into a box, which pushes it into the square beyond. Boxes may not be pushed into another boxes or walls, and they cannot be pulled. The puzzle is solved when all boxes are at storage locations. In this ver there are more than 600 levels. But don't think what it isn't too much. Levels are tough. Yes, levels are really difficult. Don't think what they can be solved in seconds. Despite the little size of the levels it could take 30-40 (logical) moves to solve every map.
