My 1st Game - Sokoban - Need Help

[pixelink]

Okay... now that I bought the standard edition.

My wife LOVES Sokoban type games. She is disabled and so for my first Game, I want to do something simple for her.... because she likes simple.
But, I am running into issues... and not knowing the events commands yet... I am just all over the place.

Here are my issues...

1) I can move my player and push blocks around.
I currently have the player with 8 directional movement set in properties (up, left, top, down)

But, I want to constrain movement to just the grid (48x48 blocks)
So, I figured out how to do that, but then I can't move the "pixel cubes" (color blocks)

2) I also want to constraint the "pixel cubes" to the same 48x48 movement.

3) Having trouble figuring out how to stop a "pixel cube" when it hits the wall. I don't have stop available for collision

4) And then I have to try and figure out how to stop my player when I move "pixel cubes" against a wall.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Hey, I've made a hopefully simple example on how to do this: Sokoban-Example.mfa

Okay... I got that working on my game.

Few things..

1) I would like the player to move continuously when I hold down an arrow key.
Right now, it stops until I lift finger of key and re-press

2) How would I go about figuring out if the player has put all "pixel cubes" on ALL of the "X's" or not.
Logically, in code I would use an if statement... does F2.5 have that?

3) After testing the level when I am done setting it up, what is the best way to start creating more levels?
Is their objects I can globally display across all frames?

Okay... I am using the counter to count each "pixel cube" that gets destroyed.
What events do I use to display a "Level Complete" image after I have determined that the counter is '0'??

Technically all of the conditions on the left of the event editor are If statements, except from green ones which are triggered (functions)

The answer to the third question technically is to make a simple level editor so you load up files to structure a new level (all in the same frame), but it's a bit difficult. I can do an example of that regardless if you want to.

For the Level complete image, you can untick "Create at start" on the active object that has the image in its properties:

Then with the create object action create the object when condition is met:

Okay.... I did change my mind.

I am using a counter.
Each time a "pixel cube" goes over an "X" it destroys the cube and "x"
Then I deduct from counter

I then evaluate the counter is "0" then display this screen.

User clicks screen to go to next level.

Now the only thing I need to solve is I like it when the user clicks the key and on moves 1 once.
But, I also want to be able to go faster if they hold down longer on the arrow keys.

Hmmm... that seems much easier.
Thanks

So far everything is working great...

I only have two things to complete...

1) How to make the player mover faster when I press and hold down on arrow keys.
I am playing with the "Repeat when key 'LEFT ARROW"".... but I can't get it to work yet.

2) I need to implement and undo of about five moves.
