🧩 Creating an automated Sokoban solver

Hi again,

I shipped a Sokoban clone and automated solver. Read about the techniques I used in Building and Solving Sokoban.

The coolest fact I learned was that computers lag behind human ability when it comes to very complex Sokoban puzzles. This is unlike chess — where humans have been behind for decades!

I shipped something that made the Vercel changelog last month. I’m in the infrastructure org at Vercel, working on the build and deploy pipeline — so a lot of the work I do isn’t immediately visible :)

Replies to this email go straight to my inbox!

Until next time,

Andrew
