2048_

A pygame implementation of the game 2048

Requirements

For installing the requirements you can check the following link.

Here is a brief summary to get you started:

showStartScreen() function basically shows the first screen on executing the code.
randomfill(TABLE) function randomly fills the table in empty spaces.
checkForKeyPress() function checks for an event(key press in our case) and returns the same.
show() function displays the game screen after each key press and also matches the defined colours with the respective cells.
runGame is the function that controls the overall game. It is called in an infinite loop in the main function. It calls the randomfill function and even checks for the pressed key by calling the key function. It stores the copy of the previous table and matches with the present state. This is the function controlling the whole state of the game.
moveDown function is defined for the actions to be undertaken when the downward key is pressed.
moveUp function is defined for the actions to be undertaken when the upward key is pressed.
moveRight function is defined for the actions to be undertaken when the right key is pressed.
moveLeft function is defined for the actions to be undertaken when the left key is pressed.
createButton function is used to create a new button.
gameOver() return true if no further move is possible.
showGameOverMessage funtion is defined to display game over screen.

Make the start screen look more attractive with options for different levels and leaderboard.
Make a leaderboard for storing high scores calculated on basis of Points earned and Time taken.
It will be great to implement AI techniques which can provide the player with hints for the next step.
