2048 Algorithm


/backslash/

Recommended Posts

This seems like a genuinely stupid idea to me, but I can't help but pose the question: could an algorithm be written to beat the game 2048?

Remember, computer science is definitely not my area of expertise, so try not to be too hard on the n00b.

Yes, it can, it would find the most 'optimal' direction to move in. See: http://ov3y.github.io/2048-AI/.

 

Edit: To clarify, the game and all in the page linked is written entirely in Javascript/HTML, and so you can view the source / inspect element to find any included source files. I've taken out the one that contains the AI code for convenience:

Never heard about such game.

But after playing on-line it appears it's randomizing column,row where new 2 is appearing.

Algorithm can't predict where will appear new number.

 

An algorithm can't predict anymore accurately where a player will move his chess piece, but chess-playing (and winning) algorithms exist.
