🕹️ Dockerized 2048 Game 🎮

This project demonstrates the use of Docker by containerizing the popular 2048 game.

The project aims to provide hands-on experience with Docker commands, including building images, running, and managing containers, while deploying a fun, interactive game.

The game runs on an Nginx server, and the Docker container is deployed on AWS Elastic Beanstalk to provide a scalable and accessible setup.

---

✨ Features

• Fully Dockerized setup for the 2048 game.
• Uses an Nginx server to serve the game.
• Deployed on AWS Elastic Beanstalk for production-grade scalability.
• Learn and practice Docker commands such as:
  • Building Docker images.
  • Running and stopping Docker containers.
  • Inspecting Docker images and container logs.

---

🛠️ Technologies Used

Core:

• Docker for containerizing the application.
• Nginx for serving the game.
• AWS Elastic Beanstalk for deployment.
• JavaScript for the game logic.
