Note
This project is in development. But the UI is ready, and you may try to run the code, if you find any error, or designing mistake, please provide feedback through a issue.
The original 2048 was made by Gabriele Cirulli in JavaScript and CSS. If you want to play the actual game: play2048.co.
I am attempting to make the same game in Python.
If you have never played 2048 before here is the rules of 2048:
You start with either pressing
space baror the PLAY button.
You have a 4x4 grid, in which there 2 blocks in the start, you have 90% chance of haing an 2, while 10% chance of having an 4 in the start.
You can either play UP, DOWN, LEFT, or RIGHT. Each of them will result all the blocks sliding in that direction. And the blocks having the same numbers will merge, making a block that is the sum of the merged blocks.
You win when you reach 2048.
The game ends when you have no empty spaces left and also no moves left.
You may even press the END button, or
escto clear the game, and save your score.
This requires Python 3.10+, atleast that's what I think.
This also requires all the [needed modules](requirements.txt requirements), for which you need to do
pip install -r requirements.txt
This will install all needed modules and libraries.
Tip
You might even edit some things in the code to change the working flow of the code. Like the directory where the database is saved, or the color of the background, etc.
Warning
Some things may break when tampered with. Please edit the code with caution.
On Windows you can install the executable from releases. The executable is only compatible with Windows currently.
Caution
It is quite slow because it is made with PyInstaller. If you have any suggestions, put them in this discussion.
Your score is locally saved along with the time and the highest number you reached.
Note
No other information is used, stored, or sent to us.
The font used is from JetBrainsMono. I have peronally used JetBrains Mono Medium, which is available in the repository. You can change the font in the constants section.
customtkinter - pip install customtkinter
pillow (PIL) - pip install pillow
ttkbootstrap - pip install ttkbootstrap
Important
If you are not on Windows, or get an error related to the DIRECTORY, you might need to redirect the DIRECTORY.
In __main__.py go to the constants section and change the first part of DIRECTORY.

I took his course Learn Python by creating 10 apps with tkinter, and it was super helpful in making this project.
He was the one who gave me the idea to do a competition who makes a better 2048 clone. Here is his repository.
