摘要
SOKOBAN is one of the most studied combinatorial puzzle game in the literature. Its computational complexity was first shown to be PSPACE-complete in 1997. A new proof of this result was obtained by Hearn and Demaine (2005) [8], by introducing the Nondeterministic Constraint Logic (N-CL) problem. Since then, N-CL has been used to prove the PSPACE-completeness of several other puzzles including a few SOKOBAN variants, by many authors. In this paper, we show that SNOWMAN, a new SoxosAN-like puzzle game released in 2015, is PSPACE-complete by reduction from N-CL. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
