At the beginning, two +of the cells contain either a '2' or a '4'. The aim of the game is to +shift the cells around (left, down, up, right), until you get a cell +with a '2048'. +.PP +The classic `h-j-k-l` keys are used to slide cells left, down, up, +right, respectively. +.PP +When you shift the cells in one direction, any two adjacent +cells along that direction that contain the same number are 'merged' +into a single cell containing twice that number. After each movement, +a new number (either a 2 or a 4) is placed in one of the empty cells, +chosen uniformly at random. +.PP +The game ends where there are no more moves left (in which case you +lost), or when there is at least one cell with a '2048' (which counts as +a win). +.PP +It should be clear now why the executable is called `2ls10`. +.SH ARGUMENTS +.TP 5m +.BI [n] +An optional integer +.BI n +(larger than 1 and smaller than 16) can be passed as first argument to +set the size of the grid. The default is n=4. Larger grids are normally +easier to solve. A 4x4 grid is the smallest one where you can get ever a +2048. +.SH BUGS +At difference with the original game, a new ramdom cell is filled even +if the user attempted to shift the cells in a direction where no shifts +are allowed. +.SH AUTHORS +2ls10 is written and maintained by Vincenzo "KatolaZ" Nicosia.
