About 2048 AI
2048 AI turns the famous number puzzle into something you watch instead of play. A computer player slides and merges the tiles by itself, game after game, and you choose how it thinks. The Smart AI looks three moves ahead and scores every board, while the Algorithm, Priority and Random modes follow simple fixed rules, so you can see how much a real strategy matters.
You can run the AI slowly to follow every decision, fast, or at full speed to rack up games quickly. Switch the tile generator to Evil and new tiles are placed where they get in the way the most. After each game over, a new one starts automatically and the panel records the highest tile reached every time.
It is a relaxing idle toy and a fun way to learn 2048 tactics from a machine.
How to play
The AI plays 2048 by itself: tiles with the same number merge when they slide together, and the game ends when no move is left. Use the panels next to the board to choose the AI mode, the speed and how new tiles appear, at any time. Pause stops the AI and New game starts over. After each game over the next game starts automatically after five seconds, and the panel records the highest tile reached in every game.
