A text-based version of 2048 that can be played from the shell
Alternatively, you can play a GUI-version via the following CodeSkulptor link: http://www.codeskulptor.org/#user42_MV18rCJXKxCoHVl.py
This project simulates the popular puzzle game, 2048. Traditionally, the game involves a 4x4 grid with blocks having numbers that are powers of two. On each turn, the player inputs a cardinal direction towards which all blocks will slide. Pairs of blocks sharing the same number will combine to form a single block having the sum of its two parents (hence the powers of two). The goal is to create a block having the number 2048 (or as large a number as possible). Find out more about 2048 (Wikipedia)
When run from the shell, the player may use the WASD keys to indicate up, left, down, and right. The board is represented as a 4x4 grid of numbers. At any time, the player may type 'N' to start a new game or 'Q' to quit. All commands are case-insensitive.
By using the CodeSkulptor link above, the player may also play the same implementation of the game but with a GUI interface.
In the text-based version, the grid spacing will adjust according to the size of the largest number.
In the text-based version, invalid inputs are handled such that game state is maintained until valid input is entered.
The class generating the board will accept any arbitrary board size.
