2048 is a simple, fun and addictive puzzle game. Even if you don’t like numbers, you will love this game. It is played on a 4x4 grid using the arrows or the I, J, K, L keys. Each time you press a key, all the tiles slide. Tiles of the same value that collide with each other are merged.

INSTRUCTIONS

To Start

After Booting

The Program

Displays the 4x4 game board with your last unfinished game or a new board with 2 tiles of 2 placed at random. Start playing by pressing the movement keys on the tiles, they all move in the same direction to the edge.

Game Play

Every round

a new tile randomly

Appears in an empty space on the board with a value of 2. The tiles slide as far as possible in the chosen direction until they are stopped by another tile or by the edge of the game board. If two tiles of the same value collide while moving, they will merge into a tile of equal value to the sum of the two tiles that collided. The new tile cannot merge with another tile in the same move.

Scoring

Merging

two lower tier blocks

together will give you the score of the higher one (score of +8 gained from merging two 4’s). For any specific tile score, you have to add up all the scores from the lower tiers.

  • Creating a 2 tile = +0pts
  • Creating a 4 tile = 4 = +4pts
  • Creating a 8 tile = 8 + 2x4 = +16pts
  • Creating a 16 tile = 16 + 2x8 + 4x4 = +48pts
  • Creating a 32 tile = 32 + 2x16 + 4x8 + 8x4 = +128pts ... and so on...
