2048-GAME---C

##Description This project is an implementation of the 2048 game written in C, using the ncurses library for a terminal-based interface. The goal of the game is to combine tiles to reach the value 2048.

##Main Features

###Initialization and Generation

• A new game initializes the board with zeros
• Two random numbers (2 or 4) are generated at random positions
• After each valid move, a new number is added to the board

---

###Controls

• Left Arrow – move left
• Right Arrow – move right
• Up Arrow – move up
• Down Arrow – move down
• a – activate auto-play (robot move)
• q – return to menu / quit

---

###Game Logic

• Equal tiles merge (e.g., 2 + 2 → 4)

• Score is calculated based on merges

• The game checks if moves are still possible:

  • empty cells exist
  • or adjacent equal tiles exist

---

###Auto Player (Gigel)

• Evaluates all possible moves
• Chooses the move that results in the most empty spaces
• Executes the best move automatically

---

###Save & Resume

• Game state is saved in: etapa_actuala.txt
• The Resume option loads the last saved state

---

###Interface (ncurses)

• Board rendered in the terminal

• Different colors for each tile value:

  • 2, 4, 8, 16 ... 2048

• Displays:

  • score
  • current date and time
  • available controls

---

##Code Structure

###Data Structures

struct celula {
  int nr;
};

---

###Important Functions

Initialization

• joc_nou() – resets the board
• numere_aleatorii() – generates initial numbers
• adauga_numar() – adds a new number after a move

Movement

• mutare_dreapta_spre_ingerasul_cel_bun()
• mutare_stanga_spre_ingerasul_cel_rau()
• mutare_jos_spre_dracu_sa_ma_ia()
• mutare_sus_spre_doamne_doamne()

Validation

• mutare_invalida_*() – checks if a move changes the board

####BOT

• cautare_mutare_buna() – finds the best possible move

---

##How to Run

###Compile

make

###Run

make run

---

##Requirements

• GCC compiler
• ncurses library installed

Example (Linux):

sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev

---

##Notes

• The game runs entirely in the terminal
• Focus is on logic, not graphics
• Code includes both manual play and automated gameplay

---

Enjoy the game!
