              https://github.com/joyrider3774/Sokoban), AmigaOS4 port by

DESCRIPTION

This is joyrider3774's SDL3-based Sokoban - the classic puzzle game
where you push boxes onto marked target squares, one careful move at a
time. It comes with several built-in level packs, a full in-game level
editor for creating and sharing your own level packs, background music,
and joystick support. This is a native AmigaOS 4.1 PPC build using
SDL3, SDL3_image, SDL3_mixer and SDL3_ttf.

All game assets (graphics, fonts, music, sound, level packs) are
included in this archive - nothing else needs to be supplied.


INSTALLATION

1. Copy the whole Sokoban drawer to wherever you like, keeping the
   "fonts", "graphics", "levelpacks", "music" and "sound" drawers next
   to the "Sokoban" executable.
2. Double-click the Sokoban icon, or start it from Shell.

On first save (settings, joystick configuration, or your own level
packs created in the level editor), the game automatically creates a
".sokoban" drawer next to the executable and stores its data there -
no further setup needed.


CHANGES IN THIS PORT (compared to upstream Sokoban)

- Fixed a path-handling bug where the program's own base directory
  ("PROGDIR:") was truncated by one character internally, which broke
  loading of fonts and other assets on startup
- Fixed a related path-separator bug where an unconditionally inserted
  "/" collided with AmigaOS's ":" assign separator, again breaking
  asset loading
- Settings, joystick configuration and custom level packs are now
  stored in a ".sokoban" drawer next to the executable, instead of the
  Unix-style $HOME directory this game normally uses (there is no
  concept of a home directory on AmigaOS)
- Native AmigaOS4 threading backend for SDL3 and its dependencies
