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.

Setting up the Pygame Environment

Installing Pygame Initializing Pygame


Start by installing Pygame using Once installed, import the
pip, the package manager for Pygame library into your

Implementing the Game Board and Logic

Creating the Game Tile Movement Logic

Handling User Input and
Game Mechanics
Event Handling
Pygame uses an event loop to monitor keyboard presses,
1 mouse clicks, and other user actions.

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

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

New Tile Generation


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