 Yes, PolarDA is a neat game isn't it. It is in fact based on the concept of 
old PC games Sokoban ( originary written for FM-7 made by Fujitu ).

 Some function mentioned here isn't implemented in 1.0a6 ( the latest version )
intentionally to make the game more challenging.

 I'm still in Minesota so give me an e-mail.
