Here is my implementation of Hexoban.
David W. Skinner suggests to implement Sokoban on a hexagonal grid.

Features:

• Unlimited undo and redo
• Skins
• Reads Hexoban levels from text file (using hsb format and supporting more than one level in a file).
• Full mouse support (optimizes push path by number of pushes)
• Hints available: "where can this box go" or "which boxes could come over this hexagon"
• Remembers best solution and later replays it on demand.
• Screen shot
