Features

• Classic 2048 gameplay in the terminal.
• Responsive arrow key controls.
• Score tracking.
• Ability to undo one move.

How to Play

The goal of the game is to combine number tiles by moving them in different directions using arrow keys, with the objective of reaching the tile with the value of 2048. When two tiles with the same value collide during a move, they merge into a new tile with the sum of their values. After each move, a new tile (either 2 or 4) will appear in an empty spot on the board. The game continues until there are no empty spots left on the board, and the player can no longer make valid moves, resulting in the game coming to an end.

Tested on: GNU/Linux, NixOs, Ubuntu, PopOs
