2048: A close look at the source

Read Original

This article provides a detailed technical analysis of the source code for the game 2048. The author, who created a word-based variant, praises the code's clean MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture and separation of concerns, highlighting how this made significant modifications possible in just a few hours. It examines the core classes like GameManager, Grid, and the HTMLActuator, and discusses both the code's strengths and minor violations of the DRY principle.
