Download Cinder (v0.9.2) for your MacOS or Windows.

Create a directory called my-projects in ~/Cinder. Clone this repository into this new folder.
Open the 2048 project in CLion, set the target to cinder-myapp and click the run button.
The goal is to reach the 2048 tile by combining like tiles. Each turn, a new block with the value 2 appears in a random space. When you combine tiles by shifting the board in any direction, blocks with the same value merge and double in value. Don't let the board fill up. Your score increases by the value of each combined tile during each move.
This game was originally created by a 19 year old named Gabriele Cirulli in 2014 and has been expanded to several different platforms since then due to its extreme popularity.
