2020-pd2-sokoban is an assignment for 2020's Program Design course in NCKU. This particular instance is inspired by the popular Japanese game Sokoban, with a few thematic changes in the gameplay but other wise unchanged in the general rules. In Sokoban, the player pushes boxes onto storage points. In my version, the player bushes big stones onto marks.

In addition to that, the focused button will also appear a little bigger.
To move focus to a button and choose you can either:
Use the arrow key up and down to move the focus, and press Enter to choose.
Or hover the cursor/mouse over that button to move focus to it and click to choose.
On the left, there stands the character you will be using to play the game.
Hover the cursor over that character and "Game Intro" will appear in a speech bubble.
Gameplay:
In the gameplay menu, you will be presented with a maze-like map.
In th map, player is encircled by units of walls, between the walls, there are stones waiting to be pushes and marks waiting to be matched.
The marks are a symbol of a leaf, and on each stone there is the same symbol.
When unmatched, the symbol on the stone is yellow, but turns red when it's moved onto a mark.
