This is a patched version of ksokoban, in order to build it with Qt only, with no dependencies on KDE libraries. Based on original sources at https://github.com/KDE/ksokoban.
Ksokoban is a great game, but it's not being distributed anymore with official distributions, perhaps for problems with specific KDE versions. So this patch (actually very light, with a few bug fixes, too) is meant to give new life to this game, while preserving its look and feel very closely.
The build process is simplified, too, needing only the "qmake" utility provided by Qt. Provided you have the needed Qt development environment installed, just do:
mkdir build
cd build
qmake ..
make
I'm also providing a deb package (Debian buster and newer) and a Windows installer, see "Releases" section.

The objective of the game is to push all the red gems (these should actually have been crates, but gems looked nicer) to the goal squares, which are marked with green glassy things on the floor.
Use the cursor keys to move about. If you move onto a gem and there is noting blocking it on the opposite side, then you will push the gem.
Use the CONTROL key together with the cursor keys to move as far as possible in a direction without pushing any gems. With the SHIFT key you will move as far as possible in a direction, possibly pushing a gem if it is in the way.
Use the left mouse button to move to any place you can reach without pushing any gems. The middle mouse moves in a straight line, possibly pushing a gem if it is in the way.
The U key or the right mouse button undoes the last move.
