2048

A 2048-like game for GNOME.

Instructions for Playing Gnome 2048

1. Objective
   The goal is to slide numbered tiles on a grid to combine them into a tile with the number 2048. You can continue playing to achieve higher scores after reaching 2048.

2. Game Setup

   • The game is played on a 5x5 grid.
   • At the start, two tiles with the number 2 appear randomly on the grid.

3. Controls
   Use arrow keys (or swipe gestures on mobile) to move tiles in these directions:

   • Up
   • Down
   • Left
   • Right

4. Gameplay

   • All tiles slide as far as possible in the chosen direction.
   • When two tiles with the same number collide, they merge into one tile with their sum.
   • After each move, a new tile (2 or 4) appears at a random empty position on the grid.

5. Winning
   You win the game when you create a tile with the number 2048.

6. Losing
   The game ends when the grid is completely filled, and no more moves are possible.

7. Tips

   • Plan your moves to avoid getting stuck.
   • Keep your largest tiles in one corner for better organization.
   • Avoid spreading high-value tiles all over the grid.

Enjoy sliding and strategizing!
