<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The warehouse is depicted as a grid of squares, each one representing either a floor section or a wall section. <br />
<br />
Some floor squares contain boxes and some are marked as storage locations.<br />
<br />
The player, often represented as a worker character, can move one square at a time horizontally or vertically onto empty floor squares, but cannot pass through walls or boxes.<br />
<br />
To move a box, the player walks up to it and pushes it to the square beyond.<br />
<br />
Boxes cannot be pushed to squares with walls or other boxes, and they cannot be pulled.<br />
<br />
The number of boxes matches the number of storage locations. <br />
<br />
The puzzle is solved when all boxes occupy the storage locations.<br />

<br />
Each step of the player counts as a "move". Each push of a box counts as a "push".<br />
<br />
Some programs display the number of moves and pushes, and the challenge is to complete the level with fewer moves or pushes.</div>Briandamgaard
