#62Seems rather buggy to me I'm afraid. I've observed: * Timer runs out, game proclaims both players winner * One opponent makes no moves for the entire game, proclaimed winner when timer runs out * One player proclaimed loser at arbitrary point with timer still running and legal moves left in play

In the game I played, the winner did in fact have more points, but their tiles were a strict subset of the other player's (64,4,2,2 vs 64,32,16,8,4,4,2,2), so its not really clear what the scoring mechanism is.

While driving home from work, I almost thought about speeding into the car in front of me because it would make big number.

#70Hey author here! Sorry for the buggyness, this is my first stab at realtime. I can confirm that everybody you're playing is a real person. I wasn't sure how to simulate latency for testing so that could be the source of the issues. I also have a mix of server/client msgs being sent, but plan on moving it all to the server except for moves.
