SedSokoban

Now what we need is...

Consider the case of Andreas Junghanns, who wrote Rolling Stone, the world's top machine Sokoban solver, in C. I'm sure that even as you read this he is working on rewriting it in the Sokoban-friendly language sed.

Or not.

Under OS X

It runs under OS X (no Aqua support though...kidding) BUT not using Darwin/BSD's sed (/usr/bin/sed), rather using Fink's sed (/sw/bin/sed). Using the default sed, I get this error:

• sed: 2266: ./sokoban.sed: unexpected EOF (pending }'s)

Once again, GNU tools rule over BSD tools. Well, for gaming, anyway.
