2048 (In Python Console)

2048

What it is:

If you've never heard of it, basically, you have to put 2 squares of the same number together, which will combine those squares into a new square which is those numbers combined. That probably makes no sense because of my explanation skills, but it will all become clear (hopefully)

A new 2 square is added every move

Controls:

It's just the wasd keys:

w to go up
a to go left
s to go down
d to go right

How to win

It's simple, just make a square of the value 2048.

Disclaimer: I have never actually won this game lol.
Tip: either never press down or up (except from at the start) if you press up at start: try to not ever press down, or if you press down at the start: try not to ever press up.

How to lose

This is also very simple, just fill the board up until you can't move anymore.

Credit as usual to @xolyon for their colour tutorial (here) which I think pretty much everyone uses now instead of colorama and stuff.

Also, I do realise that it doesn't work exactly like the normal 2048 game, I'm working on that.
Any game breaking bugs, I would love to know about

That's about it!

Have fun and if you do, don't forget to upvote! :)

Nice work! This is awesome :)

@Coder100 thanks!

no problem :) @CodingCactus

We love to see it

@julia562 wow, well done!

This is some really interesting and fun code! However, I have had some trouble with the game in that some of the squares don't fuse at the very beginning. I attached some screenshots to show this. Please fix this, this game is really good!

@mserrano258 yh, sorry i'm working on that :)

@CodingCactus, don't worry! You did a really good job on this!

In the original game, players begin with 2 squares filled rather than one. Apart from that small thing, it is great and true to the original. Upvoted.

@henryeth ah, ok, i'll do that

@henryeth done! :)

This is so cool!

@BobTheTomatoPie Thank You!

@CodingCactus It really is cool!

@JBYT27 thx

I hold the world record [out dated]

@gpr2 why does it say the score like 5 times?

cool! @gpr2

@CodingCactus the progression of my scores im guessing

@gpr2 it should just print it once

Great game! I am not good at 2048 but this is very close to the actual game. Good job :D

my highscore

I wish we could make a Repl with like tons of different programmers, that would be so cool.

You can. Just create a new repl and invite a bunch of people. Preferably people who code the same language :) @mo2409

It doesn't work for me :(

@pkTheBest hmmm, what are you using? (wasd keys)

@CodingCactus Yes I was

@pkTheBest what os?

i had a 1024, 512, 256, 128, 64, 32, 16, 8 , 4 and two 2's on screen when i died... does that still count?

@CodingCactus you are the best

2 plus 2 is 4 minus 1 is three - squid maths

Lol @DynamicSquid

Cool. Would work better if made in Java swing.

Hello, fellow Java coder! I couldn't find anybody else who coded Java :) @Jakman

@studentAlfredAl ey man. Most people here only know python and html. We gotta stick together man.

Yep :) @Jakman

this is a good game :) hi score 10948 fail

Nice job @CodingCactus ^_^

add 4096! (yes i have gotten 4096 ligit)

on clone:

ignore the score i played a mode where any adjacent numbered tile could spawn and shoved 2048 in a corner and spammed w so 2048 spawend, then 4096 spawned, 8192,16384, on until 262,144
