Game 2048

For my final project, I chose to make a copy of the famous game 2048. The game is relatively simple: swipe up, down, left, and right and try to combine the same numbers to eventually get to 2048. You can play the original game at http://gabrielecirulli.github.io/2048/.

The target audience is teenagers and adults who enjoy simple puzzle games.

I interviewed my mom and my brother about the real game to see what they thought about it.

My mom said it was challenging, but she's glad it's not timed so she can go her own pace. She also said it's good for a variety of ages.

My brother, who has beaten the game, says it's addicting, challenging, smooth, and easy to learn.

This is a screenshot from the real game.

Early Testing: This is a screenshot from the early tests I did to see if making 2048 was possible using App Inventor.

Alpha Version: This alpha version features images from the real game, and the tile movement works perfectly. So far, the game only goes up to the 64 tile. The tiles move with buttons, not with swipes, but I am planning to implement a swipe feature later.

Final Version: The final version features swiping to move tiles, scoring, sounds, and an info button. It functions just like the real game.
