Twos

Difficulty: Hard

In this exercise, you will implement a simplified version of the 2048 game using a 4x4 grid. Your goal is to develop a functional and optimized solution that manages tile merging, movement logic, game state updates, and user interactions effectively.

Game Mechanics

• The game begins with two randomly placed tiles, each with a value of 2 or 4.
• Swipe gestures (up, down, left, right) move all tiles in the chosen direction.
• When two tiles with the same value collide, they merge into one, doubling their value.
• After every valid move, a new tile (2 or 4) appears in a random empty cell.
• The game ends when no valid moves remain (loss) or when a tile reaches 2048 (win).
• For testing purposes, you may lower the win condition to 32 or 64 to validate functionality faster.

Additional Requirements

Status Label

Display game messages when necessary:

• "You won!" when a tile reaches 2048.
• "Game Over!" when no moves are possible.

New Game Button

• Resets the game board to its initial state with two random tiles.
• Clears any win/loss messages.

Above & Beyond

Ensure smooth tile movement and merging animations.
