What is 2048 game?
The 2048 game is a popular single-player sliding puzzle created by Italian web developer Gabriele Cirulli. in 2014. The objective is to combine numbered tiles on a 4x4 grid by sliding them in one of four directions (up, down, left, or right). When two tiles with the same number collide, they merge into a single tile with their sum (e.g., two 2s become 4, two 4s become 8). The goal is to create a tile with the number 2048, but players can continue playing for higher scores after reaching this target.
The game is simple yet addictive due to its strategic and mathematical nature.
