The Programming of Patrick's Parabox

  • Speaker: Patrick Traynor

This talk covers a few specific programming implementations from the development of Patrick's Parabox, an award-winning recursive sokoban game released in 2022. Specific topics include rendering a recursive sokoban world, robust block shrinking and growing animations, and handling infinite loops. Pseudocode and slow-mo demonstrations will be shown for each.

This talk was presented at ThinkyCon 2025, a developer conference about all aspects of the creation of thinky games.
