Hi,
in case you don't know 2048, its a small puzzle game which is very popular at the moment, you can play it e.g. here:
http://gabrielecirulli.github.io/2048/
Be warned, it makes addicted
I created a XBMC Version of it and would be happy if some of you could test it, it is still not finished but the game logic is complete (except you can't win).
Here are the rules and controls:
- If tiles with same value overlap they join into one tile with double value
- goal is to get the 2048 tile (not implemented yet) but you will see your own highscore
- After any (successful) move a new random tile is spawn
- you loose when no moves are available
- Press up/down/right/left to move the tiles
- Press menu to exit
I implemented it as dialog so you can play while commercial breaks, listening to music and so on...
Later it will be possible to change the size and location of the dialog.
You can download version 0.0.2 here:

I don't want to have it public yet so I decided to post it here first to get some feedback - tell me if you don't like such threads here (team internal) and I will move or delete it.
regards,
sphere
Hehe, very cool.
2048 is a great time killer / waster
First remarks:
- How do you close the game?
- Apparently, you don't add a random tile when a "merge" happens. The original game always adds a tile.

btw - we need a games extension point - having them mixed with program addons or scripts is meh. I like all your games btw - movie quiz has some navigation oddities though. And seeing this game reminded me of my Flash game attempts 10 years ago:
- http://images.elements-net.de/flash/breakout.swf
- http://images.elements-net.de/flash/parallax2.swf (you have to click and hold in order to move - and you can click some objects)
- http://projects.elements-net.de/puzzle/puzzle_fl6.swf (I'd like to see such a game using f.e. movie posters/fanart)
MovieQuiz is not from me
, but WhatTheMovie and Netwalk are.
Interesting games you made

Read my initial post: "Press menu to exit"
Regarding the missing add, you are right, you found a bug, thanks!

Sorry about that. I have to improve my diagonal reading skills
May I suggest adding at least "BACK" as a way to exit, if possible. Seems more natural.
[edit]
Well, "ContextMenu" doesn't work (on keyboard / Win). Not sure what MENU key I'm supposed to press..
damn you, I just wasted 2h on this

Good idea, i changed it to exit on back. Menu (which is "m" on keyboard) now restarts the game. context-menu will open the move-and-resize-mode later.

Btw, I cant seem to reproduce this, could you please re-check

Hehe, you wasted the time in the original browser game or in my xbmc add-on?
If not already on your TODO, would be great to have some kind of auto-save, too, if possible.
A 2048 game tends to last longer than a commercial break
Here is version 0.0.2:
http://goo.gl/v5zrH3
Changelog:
0.0.2
- changed: restart game on menu-key, exit with back-key
- changed: switch icon and tile pictures (to be pixel_perfect)
- fixed: potential missing random tile spawn
@
sphere - with "movie quiz" I was referring to "what the movie" (had a 50% chance to guess the right name
) - it has some UI/navigation oddities. Wanted to chat with you about it, but haven't seen you on IRC since then. But let's not get OT with it.
BTW - "back" should exit any of your games. Don't assume everybody has a keyboard and tons of buttons available. I was trapped several times. Also, don't catch/misuse any playback related buttons, there might be music playing in the background
(IIRC one game had issues with this).
Oh, the no added tile is probably due to:

I indeed have no "addon_data\script.game.2048" directory (on Windows, still).

Thanks! That is the reason. I re-uploaded a fixed version 0.0.2, could you try again?
Btw, now the highscore should also be stored between sessions
Got an error while installing the zip, but the bug is solved
Note that I get this when exiting.
