A sleek and addictive 2048-style puzzle game built with Thunde Engine where players combine numbered tiles on a grid to reach the elusive 2048 tile.
- Smooth Grid Movement: Slide tiles in four directions using keyboard controls
- Tile Merging Mechanics: Combine identical tiles to create higher numbers
- Score System: Track your progress with live score and best score display
- Visual Feedback: Smooth animations for tile movements and merges
- Game State Management: Win condition detection and game over states
- Ensure you have the Thunde Engine installed and properly set up on your system
- Start: The game begins with two randomly placed tiles (either 2 or 4)
- Slide Tiles: Use arrow keys to move all tiles in one direction
- Combine Tiles: When two tiles with the same number collide, they merge into one tile with their sum
- New Tiles: After each move, a new tile (2 or 4) appears in a random empty space
- Goal: Create a tile with the number 2048
- Game Over: The game ends when no more moves are possible
| Action | Control |
|---|---|
| Move Up | Up Arrow or W |
| Move Down | Down Arrow or S |
| Move Left | Left Arrow or A |
| Move Right | Right Arrow or D |
- 4×4 Grid: Play on a standard 16-cell game board
- Tile Values: Tiles start at 2 and double when merged (2, 4, 8, 16... 2048)
- Simultaneous Merges: Multiple merges can occur in a single move
- Move Validation: Tiles only move and merge if space is available
- Random Spawn: New tiles appear in random empty positions after valid moves
- Merge Points: Score equals the value of newly created merged tiles
- Example: Merging two 8-tiles gives 16 points
- Strategy Bonus: Higher-value merges yield exponentially more points
2 → 4 → 8 → 16 → 32 → 64 → 128 → 256 → 512 → 1024 → 2048
This project is built as a learning exercise using the Thunde Engine, demonstrating 2D grid-based game development, state management, input handling, and algorithmic puzzle logic.
- Corner Strategy: Keep your highest tile in a corner
- Build Chains: Plan multiple merges in sequence
- Avoid Clutter: Try to keep the board as empty as possible
- Think Ahead: Consider where new tiles will spawn
