2048 game made with React, Typescript and SocketIO

Specifications

• The grid consists of 6x6 tiles

• At the beginning of a game the grid is empty, except for one tile of value 2 placed at random.

• The user can slide the tiles either up, down, left or right

• After each slide a new tile with value 1 will appear in a random free space.

• If there is no free space to put the new tile the game is lost

• During the slide, tiles of equal values pushed into each other will merge into a new tile with the combined value. 2 + 2 = 4

• If there are 3 values next to each other, e.g. 2 2 2, and the player slides right, the values closest to the wall should merge first resulting in 2 4.

• If any tile reaches the value 2048 the game is won.
