@harrison
Ok I'm quite proud of this one.
SHOTS FIRED
whoa, so they didn't even name the game right? congrats!
Dang, nice. Been trying to get that tile for weeks.
I almost got to 4096 on my game, but I couldn't get past the 128 tile :)
... i'm just... stunned
I can finally make my submission. I'm damn proud of it too. Yes, I had a 2048 tile AND the 4096 tile.
Eat it.
that's awesome!
Finally, the best of 2014 games in one:
Flappy 2048
Oh man, this might be the greatest game of all time!
It's incredibly frustrating. Just as a warning: http://broxxar.itch.io/flappy48
And another version here. http://flappy2048.com
@harrison, beat that! :)
Okay, I switched it to classic mode and gave it a whirl. I couldn't quite get to 8192 again, but I did get it to 71K
geez, maybe i should practice too.
An acquaintance of mine is an AI professor at MIT and wrote up a custom script:
So, it's cheating, but it's a pretty impressive form of cheating. Apparently it gets crazy hard to get each additionally higher number:
"Once you have made 8192, it's essentially just as hard as that to make another 4096, and then just as hard to make 2048."
So making 4096 is much much more than twice as hard as making 2048. Nice job, @girlgonemild.
There's a new tile in town.
I found that it helps if you move in a snake like pattern. I keep all of my largest tiles on the bottom with the biggest number on the right. The next row will have the biggest numbers on the left, allowing me to constantly chain the smaller numbers into the bigger ones. I think this will be the last one I post. There just wasn't much room to move around once you get the 8192 tile.
I haven't played with Undo before. Do you find that pretty helpful?
@dave it'd have to be, idk how many times I've fucked myself and wished for an undo
they are quite helpful. I didn't realize everyone didn't have that option. I'm using the app on Android if that makes a difference.
@harrison It's going to be tough to get more mediocre than 64
I've seen scripts that will auto-play 2048, but here's an actual robot playing Threes:

This is far too fascinating. Next up: 'Twitch Plays Threes.'
I'm trying to predict the robot's moves and failing. A lot.
I finally got a decent score!
How to cheat at 2048
clever board:
You're both totally banned. Not really, but
@Kevin, there goes my plan to wow everyone here...
@dave, I may have lost the high score a long time ago, but I finally out-mediocred you:
Wow, that's awesome. Excellently sub-par.
Impressively bad!
I could never get lower than the 160's - you are truly mediocre.
OK never heard of this game before, and now have been playing it for an hour! Thanks loads guys ;)
I had about half the board filled before I realized what the goal was. I didn't do too well on that game :)
I'll definitely be wasting loads of time playing this though. It looks like fun
Damn you. I have a new addiction.
How am I supposed to get any work done now? So addictive!
Challenge accepted @Harrison, though I think it might take me a little while...
I got into the Doctor Who variant, but mostly I'm spending my number-sliding time with Threes still.
The real mediocre challenge with 2048 is to see what the lowest score you can get is. It's actually surprisingly tough not to keep getting bigger numbers. Ah ha! Down to 64:
Well, now I know what I'm doing on that 6 hour flight tomorrow.
@harrison I had heard of 2048 but never actually had a reason to play it until now. So far I'm pretty terrible so I think I have a better chance of beating @dave's low score before I challenge yours.
I do love orange and brown, but I've burned out on this style of game with Threes. Though I'm terrible at Threes so I assume I'd be terrible at 2048 too.
@katylava, I can't play Threes because I don't have a device that will run iOS 6, so I make do.
@dave, well, that makes things interesting. I'll see if I can out-mediocre you later.
@harrison, It's out for Android now, but not sure if that's what you've got.
@dave, well now I know what I'm using my survey reward credit on
@girlgonemild, your move.
Still haven't beaten @dave's low, though.
Close...
The highest I've gotten so far is in the 16000's. But, I do seem to be getting better. @girlgonemild mentioned (in person) she keeps all the high numbers to one side and that helped me get the 1024 tile.
For the other poor soul out there who just couldn't quite figure out how these guys are getting such high scores; here's a tip!
Don't move down.
I actually do the opposite, but i guess it doesn't matter which way, as long as you keep pushing one direction
Definitely the secret! It's all in how you organize your board. I just don't move left
But what about when you have no choice!?!?
@jont that's when you're about to lose
This bums me out:
Yeah...the app store is in need of some major vetting, especially when it comes to games.
Not breaking the record, but I'm pretty happy with this:
Still parading this around:

I tried to get lower than that, and couldn't get under 140.
@girlgonemild, I'll be taking that high score now.
@capguncowboy you're in Practice mode. You have to go into settings to change it to Classic mode.
Practice mode!? I feel like this completely invalidates all of those scores. The race is back on!
Yes, I realized this over the weekend. I am currently in "classic mode" and working on my 8192 tile. will post pics later
128k is the max! Here's 128k, before merging the numbers.
That is the most organized, beautiful 2048 board that I've ever seen.
