Compared to how the original 2048 is written - which is quite clean - the amount of clones (and the speed of their production) being a testament to that - this is disgustingly, unnecessarily complex.
- deluvas 13y agoYeah, that's exactly what I thought at first, too. But I guess it's just an example on a simple game to show how you'd do more complex applications with Angular.
- duaneb 13y agoIn this case I think it's mostly unnecessarily verbose.
- timdorr 13y agoThe point isn't to make a clean copy of 2048. The point is to show how you build Angular apps and organize code for something more complex than a simple todo list app.
- mzs 13y agoLike others have said it's a very good write-up tutorial, I think it must have taken longer to write and edit all the explanatory text than the code itself. Clearly they started before the very early on change to the original 2048 that lets yo keep playing past 2K at least ;) https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rtiXCvTQ2Zo/U0Rr5Zav0yI/AAAAAAAANhk/IsJvYAxvhfQ/s878/ng2k.gif https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rtiXCvTQ2Zo/U0Rr5Zav0yI/A... And this Angular version doesn't leave graphical debris all over the window in FF on FreeBSD, big win, sort of the reason I turned my awk script that I ran to test strategies for playing the original game well into an interactive game itself ;) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7471897 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7471897
