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's build directory:

cd 2048.cpp/build

---

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. Generate build configuration

cmake ../

4. Build the executable

cmake --build .

5. Install the program (optional)

cmake --build . --target install

6. Run the program and play the game! 🎉

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

OR

Building with Meson

3. Generate build configuration

meson ../

4. Build the executable

ninja

5. Install the program (optional)

meson configure --prefix=$HOME/.local
ninja install

6. Run the program and play the game! 🎉

2048    # run `./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:

• 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.
