This is awesome and yet another way to kill my productivity!

I noticed something that I think is incorrect behavior based on my playing of the original. If I have a row that has 2 - 2 - 4, when I press right, it goes straight to 8, rather than the behavior that I think is supposed to happen - press right once and get 4 - 4, press it again and get 8. A minor difference but does actually change the gameplay a bit.

Hi, author here, thank you for your feedback, but I can’t reproduce the bug. See https://github.com/bfontaine/term2048/commit/5ab27e181431c26...

Edit: I’m on this issue, currently trying to write a test to reproduce.

Edit 2: fixed!

A little buggy: It'll collapse 8,4,4 into 16 in a single move when the original does not. Not always, and I have no idea how to reproduce it. Maybe I should just chalk it up to accidental double-bounce on the keyboard?

final nail in the coffin :). a highly addictive game in the terminal. Damn you hackers!!

Love text based games and bonus for being in the terminal. Btw, I know a few p.eople mentioned that it collapses 2-2-4 kind of combinations in one go and I noticed that too. But, you know what, I personally like this variation.

I'm having this issue too, which totally threw me off, as I've finally figured out how to sort of consistently beat the original.
