About
2048 is a single-player sliding tile puzzle game written by Gabriele Cirulli and released in 2014, where the player slides numbered tiles on a grid to combine them into a tile numbered 2048. 2048.c is a console implementation of 2048 written in C for GNU/Linux, also tested on FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
How it differs from the original
Instead of the original's graphical tile art, it renders the board in the terminal using one of several selectable ANSI color schemes (original, black-to-white, white-to-black, or blue-to-red), falling back to plain black-and-white on terminals without enough color support.
Getting started
It can be installed with 'apt install 2048' on Debian-based systems, via an AUR package, or by compiling the single C source file with gcc and running the resulting binary; tiles are moved with the arrow keys, and a color-scheme name (e.g. blackwhite, whiteblack, or bluered) can be passed as an argument to change the terminal color theme.
