py2048-game 1.0.1

Description:

py2048game 1.0.1

Play the popular game of 2048
A PyGTK implementation of Gabriele Cirulli’s game of
2048 which is itself a
clone of
1024
and based on Saming’s 2048 (also a
clone).

Installation
Open a terminal and enter the following command:
pip install py2048-game
In case you don’t have the right things installed and you don’t feel
like installing them, there is still the old way that I created before I
learned setuptools:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ralphembree/py2048/master/install.sh -q -O - | bash
The old way does a little bit more than the new way because I’m still
learning the new way. Either one will create the py2048 executable, so
the game can be started from the command prompt with a simple “py2048”.
The old way, in addition, puts an entry in your Games menu.


Features

Moves can be undone with the click of a button.
Games can be saved in user-specified files to be resumed later.
Grid can be resized to preference.
In addition to the keyboard, there are two kinds of mouse
interaction:
Swipe: click and hold and then move in the direction desired
Click: each section of the grid (top, bottom, left, right) when
clicked will move the tiles in a different direction. The cursor will
be an arrow pointing in the direction the tiles would go if you
clicked.
The colors in the grid can be rerandomized at any time (without
messing up your game).



Screenshot





How to play
The arrow keys determine which direction all of the tiles move. Tiles
with the same number that hit each other merge into one tile. Each time
tiles are moved, another tile is added to the board. The game is over
when no more tiles can be merged.
