Thank you for building this game, Gabriele! I very much enjoyed playing the game - and later, building what was (at that time) the best AI for the game while procrastinating on my PhD! (https://github.com/nneonneo/2048-ai https://github.com/nneonneo/2048-ai, https://stackoverflow.com/a/22498940/1204143 https://stackoverflow.com/a/22498940/1204143)
I'd actually built an AI for Threes some time earlier (https://github.com/nneonneo/threes-ai https://github.com/nneonneo/threes-ai), although (perhaps unsurprisingly) the 2048 AI turned out to be a lot more popular.
The timing is pretty funny too - I was on a flight just two weeks ago that featured 2048 as one of the in-flight games, so I played it myself for a bit, got to 2048, then got my AI to get me to 4096 - and promptly crashed the whole app! Your implementation, even though it took just five days, was remarkably robust and fast and has held up really well all these years - real props to the great job you did.
I guess now I'll have to update my AI for all the powerups you've added to the game :^)
