About:
c2048 is a terminal-based implementation of the popular 2048 puzzle game. It provides a classic sliding block gameplay experience directly in the console using ASCII art. The game is lightweight, compiled from C, and runs on any Unix-like system without requiring a graphical environment.
Key Features:
  • Pure terminal interface using ASCII characters
  • C-based implementation for high performance and low resource usage
  • Simple keyboard controls (arrow keys) for gameplay
  • No external dependencies or graphical requirements
Use Cases:
  • Passing time in SSH sessions or remote servers
  • Learning C programming through simple game code
  • Terminal-based entertainment on headless systems
Alternatives:
  • n2048 – ncurses-based version with smoother animations
  • 2048-cli – Node.js implementation requiring JavaScript runtime
