## Signals and evidence

- NEW · 0h OLD WHEN SEEN

## TESIGN TAKE

Simply overlaying two familiar puzzles’ rules produces something that feels like a genuinely new game.

## WHY IT MATTERS

2048 is a puzzle about merging numbers and Minesweeper is a puzzle about deducing danger; 2049 fuses them into one board. Every move slides the whole dungeon, you included, by 2048 rules, while invisible mines sit like walls in the dark — probing a neighbouring cell reveals a number clue instead of the mine itself.

## BUILD FROM THIS

- Written in Python, with uv managing every dependency. The same core.py runs in the terminal (uv run game) and in the browser (uv run game-web, running Python as WebAssembly through Pyodide). Best scores are saved locally — in localStorage in the browser, in a local file in the terminal.

## WHO IT'S FOR

- Anyone after a light browser game, and fans of the original 2048 or Minesweeper.

## CAVEATS

- It is a just-published personal project with no stars yet, so balance and bugs may still need work.

## How to read this

- This file was produced by the same build, from the same data, as the tesign.com item page. The text is editorial; the numbers are stored observations.
- null in the JSON means not observed — never zero. The Markdown writes [unconfirmed] for it.
- Star total = the value last checked on GitHub (stars_checked_at) + increases observed via GH Archive since. The 24h · 7d · 30d gains are GH Archive hourly events summed to the reference time (as_of). No score of ours.
- A summary, not legal advice.
