## What it is
An iOS port of the 2048 puzzle game built with Apple's SpriteKit framework in Objective-C. It adds multiple board sizes, game modes (powers of 2/3 and Fibonacci), themes, and an optional AI hint/auto-play feature.

## Use cases
- play 2048 on iPhone or iPad
- study a SpriteKit game example in Objective-C
- see how to build a puzzle game UI without images or third-party libraries
- try an AI solver that hints or auto-plays 2048 moves
- play 2048 variants like Fibonacci or power-of-3 modes
- learn how to implement themes in an iOS game

## When to choose
- you want a native iOS 2048 game with extra variants and an AI assistant
- you need a dependency-free SpriteKit sample project for learning iOS game development
- you want to tweak or extend a small, well-scoped Objective-C game codebase

## When to avoid
- you need a 2048 game for Android, web, or desktop
- you want a cross-platform engine like Unity or Godot
- you need actively developed features or modern Swift/SwiftUI patterns
- you require a strong AI solver out of the box, since the built-in search is shallow
