2048 C++ Clone

This is a C++ clone of the popular game 2048, created by Gabriele Cirulli. The game is built using the SDL3 and SDL3_ttf libraries.

About

This is the first serious project I've taken on in C++. I wanted to challenge myself by building a simple game while exploring low-level development and C++ tools.

Requirements

• C++20 or later
• SDL3
• SDL3_ttf
• CMake

Installation

Clone the repository and navigate to the project directory:

git clone https://github.com/saiteki-kai/2048.git

cd 2048/

Create a build directory and run CMake:

mkdir build
cd build/
cmake ..

Compile the project:

make

Run the game:

./2048

Next Steps

• Style / layout refactoring
• Game states for game over, win, start showing keyboard instruction
• Move hardcoded variables to layouts
• Adaptable font size
• Improve UI
• Refactor Game::MoveCol and Game::MoveRow
• Handle inputs correctly (fix mouse freeze while playing)
• Game tests
• Improve memory usage (reallocations, rendering cache)
• Rounded borders
• Animations
