The latest stats show no "game-win" events :P It might just be a matter of time though. EDIT: oops, there was a bug in the win/lose tracking so I probably missed out on a few wins. I fixed it now, so it should hopefully track it if someone else wins!
I just beat it! First try.. but I've been addicted to Threes for the past week or so. http://i.imgur.com/nf25AVZ.png

#332Hey, author here! I'm pretty overwhelmed that this made it to the top of HN without me even thinking of posting it here :) I made this game as a fun weekend project, inspired by another game called 1024 ( https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/1024!/id823499224 ) and a spinoff called 2048 ( http://saming.fr/p/2048/ ). I did mine to add animations to the latter, which was a bit hard to play without them. I discovered Threes…
2 * 1024 = 2048
4 * 512 = 2048
8 * 256 = 2048
..
1024 * 2 = 2048
20480
is there a elegant formula to get to the minimum required points?Re: 2048

Holy shit I just lost like 45 minutes to this.
I've been playing this all day today. I basically created my own demise.

#334Not many posting winning scores, so here's mine: 2048 and 20368 points http://imgur.com/c3aHuT4 I'm not going to claim it was first try. Probably my tenth. However, I got much better at avoiding the key mistakes: - Always keep your highest number in a corner - Use the rest of that edge as a "staging area" for the components that can next double the highest tile. Work the other tiles toward the opposite corner on that…

Each turn, one 2 tile is added, and other tiles may be combined. So you can derive the move count by adding together the numbers on all the visible tiles and dividing by 2.
Thanks Neckbeard, I refuse to do these calculations in my head... The author should do this, and create a counter of moves within the app.

Wow, that was fun, thanks! It starts to make sense after a while. Are lower or higher scores better? I'm at 21,204. http://imgur.com/4tnVPZ4
a bit lower: http://imgur.com/yPnUt8N
That's pretty damn near optimal, might have had an extra 2 when doing the final collapse, can't remember.
