2048 is a single player sliding puzzle video game originally created by Italian web developer Gabriele Cirulli. A help screen with instructions is built in which can be brought up by the player by hitting the 'H' key. The has a 4 by 4 grid that starts out with only two of the squares populated. When the player hits an arrow key, all numbers slide in that direction as far as they can go until hitting another number or the edge of the grid. If it ends up hitting another number and the numbers match, the two merge into 1 number (also freeing up a space), and doubles the value of the number (so having two 4's collide would create a new 8). Play continues until either no more moves are possible (99% likely) or until the player performs a miracle and gets every square with 2048, in which case the player wins the game. A simple yet fun concept and I think popular with programmer types since all numbers are powers of 2 - corresponding logical shifting the number left (used often in programming).
