Spoiler alert: it requires Unity Web Player.

    From Reddit If you are on ubuntu just do this: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipelight/stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install pipelight-multi Afterwards run sudo pipelight-plugin --enable unity3d. Cheers :) Credit to /u/rotundnut

  The first person to re-create this without needing an uncommon plugin will get huge traffic.

    For all it's worth: the Gimp devs were originally the creators of GTK+, which stood for "GIMP Toolkit" - so GIMP doesn't rely on QT. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK+ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK+

      While this is true, still many package managers will insist on pulling in Qt when installing Gimp anyway, one of the suggested dependencies will require it. Lots of GTK apps will, because the OS team isn't thinking in the same terms you are. And unless you feel like telling your package manager no, an inordinately painful experience involving tracking down the errant dep and blocking it, and having to be forever vigilant going forward against future insistent prods from your OS, you'll just grumble a bit and put up with that nonsense. Life's too short to spend it keeping Qt off your system.

First person to create a HTML5 version, please reply to this comment with a link. (Great idea though, other than the unity bit)

I like how you can knock out the trailing elements, but as long as the lead number makes it through you keep going.

The next iteration should set things up so the snake of boxes you're building correlate to the bitcoin blockchain.

Makes sense to clone 2048 by adding it to another cloned game.

Makes me think of this, which is somewhat similar and playable on Linux: http://tef.github.io/flappythirds/ http://tef.github.io/flappythirds/
