Product goal:

Create a console application that will allow user to play well-known game 2048 ( https://play2048.co/), but allowing user to upscale the game from 4*4 to n*n with ability to let the game itself try to reach maximum score.

---

Functional description:

​ Console argument interface:

• With no arguments, the game starts with default values (4x4, goal to reach 2048, human input)

• --help(provides list of all parameters)

• --sizeX, --sizeY (dimensions of 2D grid (rows, cols)), default 4x4

• -max (set max tile for win condition), default 2048

• --comparison-repeat starts bots comparison, takes integer for how many runs to repeat every bot play (for changing parameters and/or adding new bots to test, change run_comparison(int repeat) function)

User interface

The game will be displayed in console as a grid of rows and columns with aligned values of individual cells.

Controls: Keyboard keys W,S,A,D and/or arrow keys respectively.

Functional requirements

• use of console and handling display of current game and / or other values (like current score, selected heuristics etc.)
• handling user input
• a way of implementing bots - inline header bots.h where bots are implemented, all bots must inherit from bot class and implement int getMove(game& g) function that returns 0,1,2,3 (right, up, left, down accordingly)
• ability to handle large grids for bigger x,y parameters
• score counter

---

Data inputs

• User input and setting parameters (if desired different from default)

---

Notes to resolve

• OS dependency (handling console? win/linux differences)
