This is a small project to redo the game 2048 on a smartphone. As a first step, I have done this project on normal coding environment (Console and Java) in order to get a better feeling of that little game. Before going to Terra Incognita!
I have lots of knowledge for backend and console applications, the challenge, for me, is to port this little game to my Android phone, and my iPad. I am a total novice on the development of these platform. As a first step, I did a console interface. For the moment it works on macOS, I didn't check on Linux, but it should work too.
I use SpringBoot 2, Java 8 and macOS Mojave (10.14) for my development. For SpringBoot, I wanted to use the SpringShell in order to use the nice tables in ASCII. I could use other frameworks, less huge... I know, but I wanted to refresh my mind with that framework, since I will be using it a lot in the future.
I know that iOS needs Swift or ObjectiveC. I will do it in Swift. Concerning Android, java or kotlin can be used. I will do it in Kotlin.
This is also a challenge, because I am not very good with Swift/Kotlin, even if I know the basis. So this first project is done 100% in Java, so I know what are or not the challenges that awaits me :-D And I have a code base to look at, when I am stuck!
