I would describe this as multiplicative rather than logarithmic. 2×2×2×2... Or maybe exponential if you consider your score to be 2^(number of walls you've jumped). I don't get logarithmic, though.

This is the exponential function, 2^x. Where the independent variable is the number of walls jumped. For instance, after 30 jumps, your score/tile reads 1073741824, or 2^30.

#33Can someone compile a list of all the versions of 2048 that have come out in the past several days? I have an addiction.

You can press any key ;)
Where can I find the any-key?

Or it's the logarithmic function lg(x), where the independent variable is the score and the dependent variable is roughly proportional to the number of times you've clicked.

Well yes, logbase2(x), where x is your score, does equal the number of wall jumps. But that doesn't account for how the game is laid out. Your score is a result of the number of jumps you've made. The number of jumps you've made is not the result of your score. Therefore, despite these two functions being the inversely related, the correct relationship is 2^x. That is just my opinion though.
"Therefore, despite these two functions being the inversely related, the correct relationship is 2^x."
There is no "correct relationship", there is a relationship that (depending on choice of variables) we can describe as y=2^x or y=lg(x).

I agree "exponential" would have been a more natural choice. "Therefore, despite these two functions being the inversely related, the correct relationship is 2^x." There is no "correct relationship", there is a relationship that (depending on choice of variables) we can describe as y=2^x or y=lg(x).
