CLUSTER 2048-GAME-NUMBERED · 7 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2014-04-04

Terminal 2048 puzzle games

This cluster consists of six terminal-based implementations of the 2048 sliding-tile puzzle, all featuring ASCII or TUI interfaces and command-line play. The dated entries arrive sporadically, with single creations in April 2014, September 2022, June 2025, November 2025, and March 2026, showing a thin, infrequent timeline. Traction leaders are 2048.c, 2048shell, and ascii-2048, each with zero stars, indicating no meaningful user adoption among these projects.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 7 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
