For this project, we will be working in pairs to create a clone of the super-fun browser based game 2048.

You will not use or reference of of the code or assets in the original or any clones, forks, remakes, extensions, or modifications of 2048. This one is yours. Own it.

This repo provides a bare minimum of markup, styles, and javascript. It's enough to get you going, but it's likely that your implementation will require significant extension and modification of the provided assets.

Recreate as much of the original game as is reasonable in the one week we have alotted for this project. Focus on completing and delivering individual chunks of functionality. This is an ambitious project, so allocate your time wisely and focus on understanding the how and why of the code you write.

• Organzizing JavaScript functionality into maintainable objects.
• Exploring how HTML, CSS, and JavaScript work together to create a memorable user experience.
• Defining units of work--individually deliverable components--that can be ordered, scoped, and scheduled.
• Make things zoom around a grid with math and stuff.

• Play a couple games of 2048. Think about everything that's likely happening in the code to support what's happening on the screen. Once you've got a feel for the game, talk with your pair and answer the following questions:

  1. How does scoring work? Each time you play you get the points of the tiles you just combined.
  2. When do tiles enter the game? Every time you make a move, one tile with a value of either 2 or 4 enters to a random empty spot.
  3. How do you know if you've won? When you get to combine tiles into a 2048 tile.
  4. How do you know if you've lost? When you have filled all the available spots and you can no longer make a move.
  5. What makes tiles move? The arrow pressing.
  6. What happens when they move? All the tiles get moved as far as possible in that direction you pressed. Any tiles that are newly together get mushed together into a new tile that has their value combined.
  7. How would you know how far a tile should move? Tiles go as far as possible until they reach the end of the grid or another tile stops them.
  8. How would you know if tiles would collide? After you move tiles in one direction, if the tile that stops one tile from moving is the same value, they combine into one new tile with the combined points.
  9. What happens when tiles collide? They merge into one tile with combined value that is on the farthest position possible.

• Document your answers to these questions in this README.

• Use your discussion and answers to create tasks for a trello board. Organize those tasks into deliverable components (e.e., Scoring, Tile Collision, Win/Loss).

• Open a PR with your discussion notes and answers to the above questions. Include a link to your Trello board. Indicate in the PR which deliverable(s) you are targeting first.
