Python Class Project – 2048

Another project built for the online Python Class I was taking, 2048 is a game in which you move numbers around a board. Like numbers merge in pairs. For example blocks of 2 and 2 becomes a single 4. You move all the blocks at once in whatever direction you pick using the arrow keys. Every time you make a move, a new block is added. If you run out of free spaces, you lose. The goal is to get a block whose score is exactly 2048.

You must have pop-ups enabled to play, can’t run it on a mobile device, and any older browsers that haven’t been updated in a couple years may or may not work. I am using CodeSkulptor to run my python code in your browser. CodeSkulptor is a very nice tool, but it does have these limitations.
