Building the 2048 Game with

Python and Pygame


This presentation will guide you through creating a classic 2048 game using
Python and Pygame. You'll learn about game logic, user interface design, and
performance optimization. By the end, you'll have a playable 2048 game that
you can share with others.

Overview of the 2048 Game
Concept
Grid-Based Gameplay Merging Tiles
The game is played on a square The player slides tiles in a
grid, typically 4x4, where tiles direction, merging identical

the value.

Goal
The objective is to reach a target tile value, typically 2048, by merging
tiles strategically.
Setting up the Pygame Environment

Implementing the Game Board and Logic
Creating the Game Board Tile Movement Logic
The game board is a 2D grid, represented by a list of lists in Implement functions to handle tile movement in each direction
Python. Each element in the list represents a tile, with its value (up, down, left, right). This involves checking for empty spaces,
and position on the grid. merging adjacent tiles, and updating the board state.
Handling User Input and
Game Mechanics
Event Handling
1 Pygame uses an event loop to monitor keyboard presses,
mouse clicks, and other user actions.

Direction Input
2 Capture arrow keys to determine the direction the player wants
to move tiles.

Tile Movement
3 After user input, update the game board by sliding tiles in the
specified direction.

New Tile Generation


4 After each move, add a new tile with a value of 2 or 4 to a
random empty cell on the game board.
