A port of the 2048 game to the Atari 2600.
(because there aren't enough versions of this game 😆)
You will need either an emulator (e.g., Stella) or a real Atari with an Harmony cart. In either case, just download 2048.rom and run as a normal Atari game.
All the juicy details are included on 2048.asm (the main source file), and a bit easier to read on this blog post.

- Lucas, Diogo, and Bani, for support and suggestions.
- All the nice people at the AtariAge forum, for making lots of information available.
- Very infrequently we have an extra scanline. Seems to happen when lots of tiles are shifted.
- Animation for new tiles
- Animation for merged tiles
- Counting points
- Time-based multiplayer like Emil Stolarsky's
- Turn-based multiplayer (survival-style), one or two players
- An easter egg (after all, Atari 2600 pioneered the genre)
- Different colors for each tile value (this one is hard. I've almost managed to do it, but I'm missing a few cycles to change the colors quick enough)
