Build the 2048 game in JavaScript

#javascript #tutorial

In this walkthrough, we make the very popular game 2048 in JavaScript, HTML and CSS! No canvas required! (Now with more accurate subtitles for programmers)

Rules of 2048:
2048 is played on a 4×4 grid, with numbered tiles that slide smoothly when a player moves them using the four arrow keys. Each time you slide, a new tile will randomly appear in an empty spot on the board. Tiles slide as far as possible in the chosen direction until they are stopped by either another tile or the edge of the grid. If two tiles of the same number collide while moving, they will merge into a tile with the total value of the two tiles that collided. The resulting tile cannot merge with another tile again in the same move.
