Game over but the game can still be played

[hteumeuleu]

From user Bugpy on itch:

I'm getting a bug where the game over screen appears but I can continue the game behind. Sometimes it ends the game with possible moves left and although it's hard to see, I can still continue whilst the "Game Over" dialog is up and my score still goes up.

Here’s a save.json data to reproduce the problem after a few moves:

[
	"4,2,4,2,4,4,256,8,x,8,128,2,8,64,2,4",
	240
]

Here’s another save.json to reproduce the problem with just one move:

[
	"x,2,8,16,4,256,16,2,32,64,128,4,4,2,4,2",
	420
]

Should be fixed in v1.0.3.

The problem was due to how the game was initialised from a previous save. Tile’s values would be set as a String instead of a Number. Then in the end of the game, when the grid is full, the game would incorrectly compare String values (from tiles restored from a previous save) with Number values (from tiles created during the game after loading).
