ShiftSum

Every move makes room—or takes it away

Run from anywhere in CLI-Games$ shiftsumLaunch ShiftSum

Slide the tiles, merge matching numbers, and keep one corner alive long enough to reach 2048.

Use arrow keys or WASD to slide the grid. Matching tiles merge into their sum, a new tile appears after each move, and the game ends when the board has no legal move left.

The terminal board makes the next move a spatial decision: protect your open lanes, build toward a corner, and keep going after 2048 if the grid gives you room.
