How to play Box Packing?

    The goal of the game is to arrange boxes optimal way, which is the smallest perimeter of red bounding frame. To arrange, you can simply drag (point and hold mouse button) boxes around. Even if box is blocked you can still move it outside "blocking area" (drag it until it "jumps" over other boxes). Watch the score, which is equal to perimeter of red bounding frame.

What is the point of input/output text windows?

    All games on Koala Games site are related to some hard algorithmic problems. They can be solved both "by hand" (for fun) and by writing an external computer program. Your program should accept text input that you can copy from input window (input boxes), solve and print out a result as text so you can simply paste it back to output window (arrangement).
