I hate this game for some reason, whereas I really liked 2048. Not sure why.

#22Wow, this despresses me. It pushes my nose unto the fact that I really suck at 2048, because no matter how hard I make it, this AI solves every problem I throw at it. Yet, I haven't managed to surpass 6568 after days of playing.

#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
the 3d one I found to be the easiest: http://joppi.github.io/2048-3D/ but 4d is terribly hard: http://huonw.github.io/2048-4D/ edit: I did a 3d victory in the 18 minutes in editing the comment. You can generally just push higher numbers into a corner, and pick either the left or the right side to consistently fold to and you'll get it mostly without thinking.
5d is a lot of fun and easier than 4d: http://cesarkawakami.github.io/2048-5D/

all lies.

#24It is very easy to win. You shouldn't be able to select 2 or 4. The decision should be random and that would be fair like the original.
The easiest solution is to have just one 2 on the table, then spam 4 in corners.
Best( lowest ) score: 1684

#25As a computer scientist I can't help but now ask: what is the complexity of this problem? If it's in P then this game is not very interesting (in that I can't hope to fool the AI).
... Much higher than P pretty obviously. 16 possible drop points and 4 possible moves each turn maximum, let's say only half of each is available on average. That gives ((2)(8))^N for N amount of turns.

#26very interesting variation, I like it. Didn't notice the instructions when I played so I didn't realize I could put 4s so my strategy mainly consisted of trying to figure out where the worst place to put a 2 would be especially at the end when it was filling up to get it to catch twos by itself or other singular numbers. Won in the end so I'm pretty content: http://i.imgur.com/7E3WBQk.png

#27Wow. This one was insanely stressful compared to every other variant I've seen so far— which is weird, because (unlike the original 2048) I was actually able to win this one.
Either way, really cool.

#28Now for someone to make a 2 player one where one person is making 2048 and one person is stopping them.

I beat it on the first try with nothing but 2's before I read the instructions and found out I could use 4's.

Oh, do you want to know a strategy for 2048? You won't win every time but you should get passed that score regularly with it....
