I hadn't used pip before. I wonder how many different package managers I have installed now? Figuring out how to install pip on OSX I discovered "easy_install" which I hadn't used before. sudo easy_install pip pip install term2048

from twitter (@gardaud):

    “What’s pip?”
    “A python package manager”
    “How do I install it?”
    “easy_install pip”

    “A python package manager”

There’s no way to have custom colors for now, but I can change the default colors. I’m on the collapse bug that was reported by a few people right now, will check back on your issue just after. Edit: I’m on it. Edit 2: I added a `--mode` option in the last version (0.1.7) to change the default colors mode. Use 'dark' on a dark background and 'light' on a light one. For now it only replaces dark blue with white on dar…

Thanks, it would be sweet if you could use the VI keys or WASD instead of arrows (would work on Windows then)and if you could use A-K instead of the decimal numbers. In that way the aspect ratio could be more square, which I think would improve the ease of noticing chains.

I've just submitted an implementation of the a-k mode as a pull request: https://github.com/bfontaine/term2048/pull/14

Someone should create a 2048/Tetris hybrid. Match the numbers into blocks as they fall to complete larger blocks. Talk about a challenge.

This sounds like an awesome game. It might be my weekend project. I'll let you know if it happens.

Rad, looking forward to the mind explosions.

You know, I wonder if we're about to see another tetris phenomenon. One of the miracles of tetris is that the game mechanics scaled from a few dots on an 80s era LCD keychain game to HDTV and surround sound. Some kind of generalized 2048 game, with different or harder goals every "level" and some tweaked mechanics and we could see another one.

I'd like to see a version that has a slightly bigger grid. So apparently there is a market for alterations.

I opened an issue to add different layouts for the UI.

Yeah, it is as simple as changing every single mention of 2048 in the source code to 4096. My friend actually tried that and it was... a lot harder than 2048. (The 2048-AI fails to make 4096 for most games, for example.) https://github.com/youknowone/4096

You probably need a way to correlate the board size with the goal number

whats wrong with the current size?
