Project 2048 (COGS 18 Final Executable)

This project is supposed to mimic a once popular puzzle game called 2048, which was one of my favorite minigames back in middle school.

In this game, the player has a 4 x 4 tile board, where the board starts off almost completely empty with the exception of a couple tiles labeled with either a 2 or 4. Per turn, the player makes their move by shifting all the tiles either up, down, left, or right. However, a previously blank tile is labeled with either a 2 or 4 each time this happens. If two neighboring tiles are shifted against each other, they both merge and the value of the newly-formed tile is the sum of the two merged tiles. The player continually shifts the tiles on the board until they create a tile that has a value of 2048, in which case they win the game. However, if the tile board gets full and the player is no longer able to merge any of the tiles left, they lose.

Disclaimer: 2048 is not an original creation of mine, nor do I own the legal rights to the original game. This is merely a school project that's for a grade, nothing more!
