Questions tagged [2048]

2048 is an open source tile-based puzzle game. Questions with this tag should be either about implementing the game or implementing solving strategies. Ask on https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/ if it's a specific game development issue. Ask on https://gaming.stackexchange.com/ if it is about playing the game.

2048 is an open-source app created by Gabriele Cirulli, an Italian developer, as a clone of 1024. The game is a 4x4 grid that starts out with two tiles. Each tile is either a 2 or a 4. When the player swipes either up, down, left, or right, all of the tiles move in that direction and a new tile appears in a random spot. When two tiles of the same number are pushed together, they merge and form a new tile with twice the value. The object of the game is to form at least one tile with a value of 2048.

I made a new variant of the famous 2048 game. In this variant there are two types of tiles (2 and 3) that need to be merged separately. This makes the game considerably harder than the original. I was wondering what is the optimal algorithm for…

2048 game - AI can't score more that 256 average

I have a python script that (somewhat) plays 2048. The way it works is it presses left, detects if there has been a change or not, and if there hasn't (AKA the move didn't work) it presses up, if that doesn't work it presses down, etc.. If there had…
