2048

2048 is a single-player sliding tile puzzle video game written by Italian web developer Gabriele Cirulli and published on GitHub. The objective of the game is to slide numbered tiles on a grid to combine them to create a tile with the number 2048; however, one can continue to play the game after reaching the goal, creating tiles with larger numbers. It was originally written in JavaScript and CSS over a weekend, and released on 9 March 2014 as free and open-source software subject to the MIT License. Versions for iOS and Android followed in May 2014. (from Wikipedia)

I decided to recreate this game as a desktop program in C++ and Windows API. It is primarily intended to be run on Windows, but it can be run on Linux using Wine. I'm going to release the source code soon.

My program has an additional function: clear bloat. It cleans up the grid by removing all tiles with value lower than 32. I know, this is a bit cheaty, but I wanted to make it a bit more fun.
