2048-in-c

• This is a 2048 game I made to teach a friend to program in C/C++.
• It is based on an university assignment we found.
• It's intended to be played on the terminal.
• We were starting from 0, so the code is very simple and not elegant at all.

Originally, I programmed the whole thing without using external functions or pointers as the assignment indicates.

Controls:

• Key (w, a, s, d) = (up, left, down, right)
• Key q = quit the game.

Updates:

• Rewrote some parts of the code to follow quality standards.
• Translated it all to English to follow international standards.
• Added functions to reuse code and make it more elegant.
• Add a good algorithm to search a random unused matrix cell now using pointers. For this I created a List module. This increased the speed notoriously.
• Also added a missing detail: when generating a new number, it generated a 2. Now it's corrected as the original game generates a 2 or a 4.
