A downloadable game for Windows

Sokoban is a simple puzzle game first developed and published in 1982 by the game studio Thinking Rabbit. The objective of the game is to push crates around a warehouse, and you can only move a crate if there is no other crate or wall on the other side of it. The level is won when every crate is on a storage location.

I created this game as a small challenge/experiment in developing games using Windows Console Applications. I only implemented 10 levels I mostly found online, and any criticism/feedback is appreciated. Controls are shown in the game, also idk if closing the game using the X instead of the esc key is dangerous, idk how computers work just use the esc key to not risk a memory leak crashing your pc (although itd only be like 1 kb so youre fine if you run this on anything more powerful than an abacus). anyways ignore what i just said this is 100% safe trust me nothing to see here yep :-) uh

EDIT: turns out windows is smart so memory is cleaned up even when using the x so we all good B)

oh also in case you didn't read the install instructions below and the game looks like doodoo, follow the steps there to make it look slightly less doodoo.

Thanks you!
