Brian Damgaard has published a new version of his great and widely used Sokoban YASC program.

The release notes for this new version:

• Solver Plugin for Festival solver
  The plugin script for running the Festival solver program from Sokoban YASC has been updated to match version 3.1 of the solver.
  The solver program itself is not bundled with Sokoban YASC and must be downloaded from its own web page.
• Minor changes

Festival is a Sokoban solver written by Yaron Shoham.
It is based on the novel FESS search algorithm.

It was the first Sokoban solver that solved all 90 levels of the XSokoban benchmark.

The solver is a 64-bit Windows program, written in C.

When the "-cores" argument is not given, the program will now choose it based on the detected hardware.

The solvers statistics Wiki page shows how many levels the different solvers can solve.

You can download the solver from the Festival website.

The download also contains a file to install the solver into Sokoban YASC.
For more information please visit the Festival website.

Thanks Yaron, for this fantastic Sokoban solver!

A new JSoko version has been released.
