2048: Sliding-block puzzle game for GEM             John Elliott, 7 July 2014
=============================================================================

  This is a reimplementation for GEM and C of the game '2048' by Gabriele 
Cirulli. It's been written and tested on PC GEM, but should be readily 
portable to Atari GEM.

  Two versions are supplied: 2048.APP (a standalone program) and 2048.ACC (a 
desk accessory).

Installation
============

  To install the Desk Accessory version, copy 2048.ACC and 2048.RSC to the 
startup directory ( \GEMBOOT on GEM/1 and GEM/2, \GEMAPPS\GEMSYS on GEM/3 and
later). 

  2048 will work with ViewMAX, provided you're using a FreeGEM video driver
rather than a Digital Research one.

Gameplay
========

  Control is by means of the cursor keys - up / down / left / right. 

  When a block collides with another with the same score, the two combine. 
If you're running GEM on a system with a colour display, newly-combined blocks 
will be shown with a red border.

  On each move, a new tile (either scoring 2 or 4) will be added to the board.

  You win by combining two 1024 tiles to make 2048. You lose if the board is
completely full and no move will combine any tiles.

  If you are running on FreeGEM, your high score will be recorded.
