Reach 2048
Keep the board tidy — free space is what keeps the game alive. When no move can change the board, the game ends.
2048 is a single player sliding tile puzzle. Every move pushes all tiles in one direction; two tiles with the same number merge into one with their sum. The goal is the 2048 tile, but the board keeps going as long as you have a legal move.
