2048.cpp

Terminal version of the game "2048" written in C++.

🎉 Featured on GitHub's Twitter and Facebook pages! 🎉

Setup

The game and code is made to run natively on the GNU/Linux and MacOS platforms, but cross-platform compatibility for Windows has been added too.

Requirements

• C++11 compiler (e.g. g++, clang++, pgc++, icpc, etc.)
• Virtually any platform including:
  • Linux
  • MacOS
  • Windows (via Cygwin or Windows Subsystem for Linux)
• CMake or Meson

Installation

1. Open your terminal in your preferred directory and clone this project:

git clone https://github.com/plibither8/2048.cpp

2. Enter the project directory:

cd 2048.cpp

---

For both CMake and Meson, the default C++ compiler on your system will be used. If you wish to manually select a C++ compiler, optionally add CXX=clang++ cmake or CXX=clang++ meson etc.

Building with CMake

3. Build the executable and run tests

ctest -S setup.cmake

4. Install the program (optional)

cmake --install build

5. Run the program and play the game! 🎉

2048    # run `build/2048` if game is not installed

OR

Building with Meson

3. Generate build configuration

meson build

4. Build the executable and run tests

meson test -C build

5. Install the program (optional)

meson configure build --prefix=$HOME/.local
meson install -C build

6. Run the program and play the game! 🎉

2048    # run `build/2048` if game is not installed

Contributing

First of all, thank you for contributing 😄! A few things to note:

• If you have found a bug, or have a feature that you'd like implemented, raise an issue.

• If you have proposed a pull request, make sure that you run clang-format on the source code (both, .cpp and .hpp) files if you've made changes there.

• In your local repository, run git update-index --skip-worktree ./data/*.txt to ensure that changes to the data files are not tracked by git, and thus are not staged.

Thanks

I deeply appreciate the help of the following people:

• Michael Hirsch
  • cleaned up the code,
  • organised the header files in a better way for a more efficient build,
  • added the AppVeyor CI,
  • added the Meson build system and, fixed CMake and added install feature.
• Aiman Ismail added support for Vim keybinding.
• Patrik Huber fixed a typo in the Readme.
• zestze changed cstdlib rand to C++ random int generator.
• Pascal J. Bourguignon added support for ANSI arrow keys.
• Jean-Michaël Celerier added CMakeLists.txt file.
• comwrg made the duration in the statistics and highscores human-readable, wrapping seconds to minutes and hours.
• Christian Bundy replaced the ugly -, + and | with box-drawing characters.
• Tor E Hagemann fixed issue #10, causing unwanted character 1 to be printed.
• farazxameer implemented feature to save a game state and continue from a saved game state, refined game logic.
• drodil implemented checks to ascertain existence of data files, fixed issue #12
• Aviskar KC added arrow keys to game instructions.
• Peter Squicciarini fixed readme instructions.
• Mark Fischer, Jr. fixed a typo.
• Hugo Brandão completely reorganised the existing project structure and updated the build method to enfore CMake.
• Alton Alvarez fixed a typo.
• cawvyoct made the source code much, much easier to read: removed most magic numbers, replacing them with variables to ease maintenance. Implemented clang-format.
• Cong edited the Game class constructor.
• Tien Do added the 'exit' option in the main menu, updated the CMakeLists.txt file and made Color enum to a scoped enum.
• ScorrMorr made many methods consts.
• tangmengqiu fixed an error-causing instruction step in the readme.

Notes

[GameBoard].getTile(2,0) refers to the 0th tile (or column) in 2nd row as in this case, x = 0 and y = 2. The specific tile is denoted the by '@' symbol in the following gameboard:
