12. Plugins
Plugins are programs that Rockbox can load and run. Only one plugin can be loaded at
a time. Plugins have exclusive control over the user interface. This means you cannot
switch back and forth between a plugin and Rockbox. When a plugin is loaded, you need
to exit it to return to the Rockbox interface. Most plugins will not interfere with music
playback but some of them will stop playback while running. Plugins have the file ex-
tension .rock. Most of them can be started from Browse Plugins in the Main Menu.
Viewer plugins get started automatically by opening an associated file (i.e. text files,
chip8 games), or from the Open with option on the Context Menu.

12.1.1. 2048
2048 is a simple, addictive puzzle game played by moving tiles in around on a 4x4 grid.
Tiles slide as far as possible in the direction chosen by the player each turn until they
are stopped by either another tile or the edge of the grid. If two tiles of the same number
collide while moving, they merge into a tile with the total value of the two tiles that
collided. The resulting tile cannot merge with another the same move. After each move,
a tile with the value of 2 or 4 is created in an empty spot on the grid.
The game is won when a tile with a value of 2048 is created, and the player loses when
there are no more possible moves.
Note: On players with a small screen tiles with a value greater than 1000 are shortened
to "1k", "2k" and so forth (k is the abbreviation of kilo, which – in computer talk –
means a multiple of 1024).
