This is the best I've been able to do so far...

Not sure if I can believe that. Disregarding occasional 4's, you need at least 1024 keystrokes to make a 2048. You need to make 34 moves per second to achieve that in 30 seconds

Fuck me.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA


Pretty sure I have a working strategy though; I have a feeling that I'm gonna win this game within the next few runs.

[TrixiePuff]

Get 'er done Aj.

if you play strangeprogram on index perfectly it beats 2048 (dtm's sm chart)

[Plan_Bsk81127]

Got it

1. You're spoiling something
2. You're overlooking something

[leonid]

Overlooking that you are cheating without using a bot?

Turns out the thing that I was doing happened to be a known strategy (ilikexd pointed it out when seeing one of my screenshots) -- I'm upset at the fact that it was known, but somewhat proud that I came up with the idea without consulting any sort of source.

With that being said, I've officially quit for tonight: I've had the 1024 and a 512 next to each other + a string all the way down to 32 connected to the 512, ready for the win and I've simply been unable to close it out. It's been quite frustrating...

well you could just mash two directionals and chain restart until a 1024 block formed in a corner via rng and finish in 2 minutes from there but lets be honest is that really worth anyone's time

[andy-o24]

Fucking finally.


Corner anchors.

left - up - left - down (repeat) seems to work well (gotten 512 several times and almost 1024...)

i should write a program to emulate this game and see where various key patterns get me

[Dynam0]

The problem with repeating that algorithm (I did down - left - down - right - down etc.) is that it fails later on when one bad 2 spawn messes things up and forces you to fix shit up. Otherwise you can get to 512 in a matter of seconds but no further than that unless you have godly luck
