I'm sure you're familiar with the popluar and addictive game 2048! If not, head over to the actual game first to get a feel for it: http://2048game.com/

So this project I coded in my second year Operating Systems course, practicing signals and process synchronization in Linux.

For starters, this will ONLY run in Linux!!!

Download all three executable files: ex2.out, ex2_inp.out, ex2.upd.out. Make sure they are all in the same folder. Then, type into the terminal ./ex2.out number where number is a postive integer that is the runtime (in seconds) of the program. So for instance, ./ex2.out 10 will run for 10 seconds, ./ex2.out 100 will run for 100 seconds.
