If you're using Chrome, this should save you some time: function step() { var eventObj = document.createEvent("Events"); eventObj.initEvent("keydown", true, true); eventObj.which = 37 + Math.floor(Math.random(0, 1)*3); document.dispatchEvent(eventObj); } int = setInterval(step, 0.001);

Based on comments from the 2048 thread, I'm running a deterministic variant of this which just cycles Left, Down, Right, Down.

After an hour or so, the largest tile is 524288, 2^19: http://i.imgur.com/Yk758sx.png

While I was writing this comment, it collapsed down to the next largest tile, 1048576, 2^20: http://i.imgur.com/PVPCvUC.png

Huh. After a few minutes of this, it told me the only way to win was not to play the game.

Yeah, the sum of the numbers on the board goes up by at most four each turn.

I get a really strong Tetris effect[0] after playing this game. I get an urge to move all text on this page to upper right corner. Anyone else? [0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris_effect

It must have been a while since you played tile based games. I had a similar experience a year ago when I made a simple tetris game and tested it non-stop for a day. Since then I can't achieve the same effect. But before that I haven't played such games in years. It really shows how persistent out memory is. One day and you're good for years.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's kind of absurdist humour. HN has been full of responses to the rather clever 2048 game lately -- 2048 in HTML5, 2048 in the smallest number of bytes, the 2048 AI solver, 2048 in Brainfuck, 2048 in Latin, etc etc etc. This is amusing to me because the subject line looked almost like one of those obnoxious Bitcoin transaction posts, thus bringing together HN's latest fad with its eternal obsession, in my mind at l…

According to DynDNS it's a malware site. www.csie.ntu.edu.tw is blocked in your Defense Plan Content Blocked This is a known Spyware? website, which is blocked as specified in your Defense Plan?.

DynDNS is painting with an unavoidably broad brush. It's a student page at the CS department of NTU -- National Taiwan University. I'm sure the server has hosted something unsavory at some point, but this particular page is hardly threatening.
