1) 2048 puzzle game is played on a board of 4x4 square game board. Although there are now many variations of the 2048 game board like 5x5, 6x6, etc the original 2048 game is shipped with a 4x4 16 squares board.
2) When the played swipes the tiles, if possible all tiles on the game board move as many squares ahead on the same direction of your move.
3) If two tiles with the same numbers collide, they join or merge into a single tile. And the number on the new tile is the sum or double of each colliding tile.
4) After the 2048 game player makes a move and swipe the tiles on the game board, a new tile with number 2 or 4 is placed by the computer on the game board.
5) The coordination of the new tiles which are added on the board after the player makes a move is randomly determined. If the boundaries of the board are empty, they are fist placed on a square which is on the edge of the board.

All tiles on the board are either 2 or the power of 2 like numbers 2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024 and 2048.
