The Prompt
Create a complete and fully functional version of the game 2048 using Godot Engine version 4.4.
**Requirements:**
– Implement the classic 2048 gameplay mechanics:
– A 4×4 grid where numerical tiles slide in four directions (up, down, left, right) merging tiles with the same value.
– The game should spawn new tiles (with values 2 or 4) after each move.
– Implement game-over conditions when no moves are possible.
– Provide a clean user interface displaying the grid and current score.
– Allow restarting the game easily.
**Include comments in the code to explain key parts of your implementation.**
**Steps:**
1. Set up the Godot 4.4 project with a main scene.
2. Create the 4×4 grid structure to hold tile data.
3. Implement input handling for swipe or arrow key movements.
4. Add logic to slide and merge tiles correctly.
5. Spawn new tiles after each move at random empty locations.
6. Detect the game-over condition when the board is full and no merges are possible.
7. Display the current score dynamically.
8. Add UI elements such as a restart button.
**Output Format:**
– Provide the fully commented Godot script files (.gd).
– Include scene setup instructions necessary to run the game in Godot 4.4.
**Notes:**
– Focus on code clarity and adherence to Godot 4.4 best practices.
– Ensure the game behaves exactly like the classic 2048 experience.

Tips for Best Results
- Set Up Project: Create a new Godot 4.4 project and design a main scene with a 4×4 grid layout.
- Implement Game Logic: Write scripts to handle tile movement, merging mechanics, and spawning new tiles after each move.
- UI Design: Develop a user interface that displays the grid, current score, and includes a restart button for easy game resets.
- Game Over Detection: Add functionality to check for game-over conditions when no valid moves are left on the board.
FAQ
- What is the main objective of the game 2048?
The goal is to combine tiles with the same numbers to reach the tile 2048. - How does the game handle user input for movements?
User input is captured through swipe gestures or arrow keys to slide tiles. - What happens when the grid is full?
The game checks for possible merges; if none exist, it triggers a game-over condition. - How are new tiles spawned in the game?
After each move, a new tile with a value of 2 or 4 spawns in a random empty space.
