2048

2048 is a sliding tile puzzle game. The objective is to combine numbered tiles on a 4x4 grid to create a tile with the number 2048.
Gameplay:
- Tiles slide in the chosen direction until they hit the wall or another tile
- Tiles with the same number merge into one with their sum
- After each move, a new tile (2 or 4) appears randomly
- The game ends when no moves are possible
Strategy involves keeping the highest tile in a corner and building up adjacent tiles methodically. The game continues past 2048 if you want to achieve higher scores.
Various terminal implementations exist, including text-based versions in different languages and the original browser game.

This is a terminal implementation of the popular puzzle game. Specific features may vary by implementation.
The game requires a terminal that supports the interface (usually ncurses-based).
Strategies that work early game may not scale - higher tiles need more careful planning.

2048 was created by Gabriele Cirulli in March 2014 as a weekend project. It became viral, spawning countless clones and variations. The concept builds on earlier games like Threes! and 1024.
