Eleven

Eleven is a highly addictive (you've been warned), minimal, terminal game for linux, similar to 2048 (as seen on the web).

The game is played on a 4-4 grid, using I-J-K-L keys (I is up, J is left, K is down, L is right); any other key exits. The game uses numbered tiles, and requires you to push all loose tiles in a chosen direction to match up same-numbered tiles. When two tiles of the same magnitude clash, only one tile remains, and the number is adjusted up by one. Which one? that depends on the direction of your push.

At the start of each move, a new 1 (sometimes 2) tile is added to the board by the computer. Your goal is to join/up-rank tiles until you see a tile with a magnitude of 11. If you can do 12, go for it.

The game is over when you are stuck with no moves (I don't check for it). Press any non-IJKL key to get out.

Tips:

• if your terminal supports zooming in (XFCE zooms with Ctrl-Shift-+), the game may be more pleasurable.
• Each previous step is scrolled, so you can go back in case you missed something.
