wasp-os uses a rather eccentric "2-bit" RLE encoding which works best
when there are only three colors (and black) in a single line. Modify
the screenshot slightly to allow it to be encoded with fewer palette
updated.
2048 is a popular sliding block puzzle game in which tiles are combined
to make the number 2048.
It's one of the few games that are enjoyable to play on such a small
form factor.
This started as a port of a TkInter implementation of the 2048 game. I
implemented all of the TkInter APIs used by the game and it worked on
wasp-os without any code change in the game. However, the performance
was very poor and it consumed too much RAM. I have since reimplemented
the whole game from scratch and managed to achieve acceptable
performance, although more improvements could still be made.
Because names in Python can't start with numbers, I had some trouble
naming things. The module is called "ttfe" (two-thousand-forty-eight),
the class name is Play2048App, and the software.py entry is "Play 2048".

the screenshot and included the app in the docs]
