A CUI (command line user interface) version of the 2048 game written with the help of the py_cui library.
To install py_cui_2048, use pip:
pip install py-cui-2048(You should be able to also use py_cui_2048 to install with pip.)
Then, to run the game, use:
py2048note that the py2048 cli script must be installed by pip into your system path. (You should see a warning spawned by pip if this is not the case.)
When starting a game, you can control the board actions with WASD, and the arrow keys/Enter control the menu. The rules are identical to classic 2048, meaning that same-value tiles will combine when pushed against each other. You can undo one move, as well as redo the undid move, but only one at a time.
You can also create a new game or exit.
To win, you wish to combine tiles until you get a tile that has a value of 2048. You receive a game over message if there are no more legal moves remaining.
A typical game strategy involves placing the largest square in a corner, and ensuring that it stays there while other tiles are moved around it.
I would like to add support for larger board sizes, as well as custom games, and saving/loading games. If you feel that you would like to contribute this feature to the game, please feel free to fork + pull request, and as long as the changes work, I will merge them in!
