Puzzle Game ’2048′ Packaged Up For Ubuntu
|
||
================================================================================
|
||
Hold on, I’ll be with you in 2 secs. Make that 4. Maybe 8. What? It’s been 16 minutes? Crikey!
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
[2048][1] mania [has swept the world][2] (though by the time you read this it may have dissipated, such is the fickle nature of viral gaming in a post-Flappy Bird landscape).
|
||
|
||
The game, inspired by an equally popular game called ‘threes’, is simple in aim: you move tiles around a grid, combining those with matching numbers to create a new tile with a larger number, and so on until you reach the 2048 tile.
|
||
|
||
Moving tiles is done using keyboard **arrow keys**. When two squares with the same number touch they merge into a one tile or a larger number (2 + 2 = 4, 4 + 4 = 8, and so on).
|
||
|
||
Note that the goal is to reach the 2048 tile, not score. So many <del>Facebook status brags</del> seem to miss that distinction.
|
||
|
||
As games go 2048 certainly falls in the ‘pick up and pass time’ category, being both addictively simple and fiendishly annoying. Prepare to lose hours to it.
|
||
|
||
*“Just one more go…”*

||
|
||
### Install 2048 on Ubuntu ###
|
||
|
||
The game can be played freely on any device with internet access and a modern browser by visiting the website ([link][3]). There is also [a gazillion mobile clones][4] available to grab from the Google Play, Apple App, and Windows Phone Stores.
|
||
|
||
But if you want to have it available to launch locally in Ubuntu with offline play support, you’re in luck. The (very awesome) folks over at Lffl [have packaged][5] the open-source puzzler, which is distributed via GitHub, as a .deb installer for Debian-based distros.
|
||
|
||
Once installed, you can launch the game from the Unity Dash (or other DE menu alternative). While it continues to open in a browser (minor annoyance) installing it locally does preserve your high score between sessions — which is pretty handy should you like to best yourself.
|
||
|
||
The .deb installer can be downloaded below and will work on Ubuntu 12.04 or later.
