Controls
- Arrows slide every tile that way. A move that changes nothing is ignored.
- Any key closes the "YOU MADE 2048" banner so you can keep playing the same board.
- Any key also moves past the "GAME OVER" banner to your score. There, ENTER plays again.
- CLEAR goes back to the title screen. Press it again there to quit.
The rules in one breath
Every arrow press slides all tiles in that direction. Two tiles with the same number merge into one worth double, and a new tile drops in after each move. Reach 2048 and you win; run out of moves and it's game over.
After a win you can keep playing the same board for a higher score, and your best score is saved.
