About
2048 is a sliding-tile puzzle game created by Gabriele Cirulli, originally written in JavaScript and CSS and released as free, MIT-licensed software on GitHub on March 9, 2014; the goal is to combine numbered tiles on a grid to reach a tile numbered 2048. iOS and Android versions followed in May 2014. Games-2048 is an ASCII, terminal-based clone of 2048 distributed as a Perl module (Games::2048) via CPAN, released in 2015 by Blaise Roth under the Perl 5 license.
How it differs from the original
Unlike the original's browser-based tile graphics, this is a plain ASCII/terminal implementation.
Getting started
Install via the standard Perl module toolchain (perl Makefile.PL, make, make test, make install), then run the game with the 2048 command.
