2048 – multiplayer
- DiabloD3 13y agoWelp, there goes my productivity for the next week.
- subir 13y agoAs if single-player hadn't ruined my life already -.-
- emehrkay 13y agoYeah. I just need to get a game in before I start my work day
- tyree732 13y agoI'm having some difficulty getting competitors, with no indication of how long it will take to find one, and when I did find one, about 3 seconds into the game I was told I lost with my opponent having performed no moves. I feel like this needs some work.
- coutol 13y agoI got a competitor pretty easily, but we won in few seconds (both of us)... something is wrong.
- gabemart 13y agoSeems rather buggy to me I'm afraid. I've observed: * Timer runs out, game proclaims both players winner * One opponent makes no moves for the entire game, proclaimed winner when timer runs out * One player proclaimed loser at arbitrary point with timer still running and legal moves left in play
- ishener 13y agohe was too quick to release...
- endijs 13y agoI will add to those: * sometimes system gets stuck and no competitor is found (well - maybe there really is no one else) * once board was loaded, for competitor blocks were moving so fast as if computer would play or some sort of bot
- ljf 13y agoEveryone I played seems to be a bot - or they have super-human finger speed!
- fuzzix 13y agoI "seed" my game by mashing < ^ > keys for a few seconds, then play normally. I might revert to mashing if I free up some space. edit Though the game also appears to be broken. This is my single player strategy too :)
- nikisweeting 13y agoYou can semi-mash all the way up to 512 safely if you watch out for block buildup.
- lxmorj 13y agoup-left over and over. when the top row is full, and your high block can't move right, you can move right. other than that, you up-left until you jam.
- mowfask 13y agoYou can get pretty fast fairly easily. Just got the first 256 tile in 35 sec, first 512 tile in 1:12.
- 1986v 13y agoHow in the world? http://awesomescreenshot.com/0792hc1za8 http://awesomescreenshot.com/0792hc1za8
- flixic 13y agoIt doesn't work very well. Why does this happen? http://cl.ly/UOfb http://cl.ly/UOfb
- cessor 13y agoThis happens to me all the time - the game somehow ends whenever ... in the middle...
- jayvanguard 13y agoYeah, it is broken. I had a higher score and got to a high number and it said I lost.
- windsurfer 13y agoHad this happen: http://i.imgur.com/ww8pgES.png http://i.imgur.com/ww8pgES.png
- infinity0 13y agovery very buggy
- dsego 13y agoHow do I play this with a friend?
- davidgerard 13y agoNice idea, but I don't believe there are no opponents available with this #1 on HN ...
- shiftpgdn 13y agoI think we broke it.
- janpieterz 13y agoI've found a couple of issues: - With a clear point advantage still both players get declared winner - After one move I was declared loser, while actually I made the only move and it was a valid one as well, with loads of options left (as it was the first move) - It thinks the game is finished on random occasions.
- jkochis 13y agoApparently you lose by getting the higher score.
- rtaibah 13y agoAll the players I played against play blazingly fast, seems almost just mindless bashing. Is it just me who actually takes their sweet time thinking about every move?
- deleted 13y ago[deleted]
- tarblog 13y agoI bash at the beginning because it's timed. Then, once I have a larger number on the board I begin playing normally.
- deleted 13y ago[deleted]
- ramki 13y agoSomeone plz come online, i couldn't find any competitors.!
- patrickg 13y agoWorks "fine" in chrome, not firefox (perhaps due to some add-ons)
- soawesomeman 13y agoWhat's next? Multiplayer 2048 AI vs AI…
- rhapsodyv 13y ago2048 AI Battle Tournament
- Wohui 13y agoNext is the MMO.
- lucasnemeth 13y agoI just entered here to say that. Let's just wait to see how much time it takes.
- scottcanoni 13y agoI would bet on 2048 Co-op. Like Twitch and crowd sourced Pokemon :)
- ponytech 13y agoWhat about a 4096 ? :)
- helgefmi 13y agoWhy not? That would be awsome. There's already a python repository for interfacing with bots, and it works using unix socket. It's here: https://github.com/matslindh/4096 https://github.com/matslindh/4096 I'm not sure 1vs1 battle matches is the best idea (it's not chess), but it shouldn't be too much hassle to make it into a platform that tracks the highest scores, best averages etc. It could be divided into different time controls (1 sec per move, 3 minutes per game etc.). The point would be to see who could make the best AI. It could have a simple flask app, or similar, that just shows the high scores and makes it possible to reserve bot names (so other people can't play as you.) I'm just putting ideas into someones (noones) head. But if people who's currently/who wants to play with 2048 AI responds to this, I might make an effort to get it starting.

- panacea 13y ago2048 is HN's Flappy Bird
- ak39 13y agoLOL. Have you tried randomly hitting all the keys until you are around 128? :-)
- ansimionescu 13y agoIs there any other way to play?
- nextstep 13y agoHow does the scoring work? I don't get why I lost: http://imgur.com/9yFrKvH http://imgur.com/9yFrKvH

- nosage 13y agoNext up: Twitch Plays 2048
- Houshalter 13y agoSomeone tried it, but when I found the stream it was inactive.
- ramayac 13y agoAh, you beat me to this!, haha :D
- elorant 13y agoDude, we need to work. Please stop making variations of a highly addictive game. You’ve already destroyed our lives. Show some mercy.
- elleferrer 13y agoI second this.
- mkaziz 13y agoI got yelled at by my boss yesterday. :(
- dwaynemac 13y ago+1
- edwardchiapet 13y agoAgreed! This game is too addictive!
- midas007 13y agoDo we need an Indiegogo project to raise funds to pay them to shut it down and stop making variations? :)
- hablahaha 13y agoWhile driving home from work, I almost thought about speeding into the car in front of me because it would make big number.
- sireat 13y agoHmm, I won despite my opponent having a higher score.
- ohadron 13y agoJust been won over by a bot.
- LanceH 13y agoMake the autorun a screen saver next.
- akos 13y agoPretty decent. I love how you made the loading animation for the loading dots at the end of "Searching for competitor..."!
- recursive 13y agoYes, that part looks pretty neat. Have you been able to get it to do anything else?
- ivabz 13y agoThere's a Cheat mode for this as well :D Check out >> http://adisrikanth.com/2048/ http://adisrikanth.com/2048/
- ohmeingot 13y agofunction arrows(key) { var eventObj = document.createEvent("Events"); eventObj.initEvent("keydown", true, true); eventObj.which = key; document.dispatchEvent(eventObj); } for (y=0; y<=1000; y++) { arrows(39); arrows(40); arrows(37); arrows(40); } It works nicely in multiplayer as well. My opponents are probably often surprised. (js credits: varyform)
- datamatt 13y agoI'm getting: "Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT http://2048.stolarsky.com:3000/game/new" http://2048.stolarsky.com:3000/game/new" in the console.
- SimeVidas 13y agoThis is probably a secret Russian plot to destroy the US economy.
- chandrew 13y agobuggy :(
- bichiliad 13y agoThere's a bug in which it looks like I'm playing about 5 people at once, all moving very fast.
- progamler 13y agokeep getting connection lost, maybe du to server load?
- nitid_name 13y agoI've played four games, and each time it declares the player with the lower score the winner after a seemingly arbitrary amount of time.
- thedufer 13y agoIn the game I played, the winner did in fact have more points, but their tiles were a strict subset of the other player's (64,4,2,2 vs 64,32,16,8,4,4,2,2), so its not really clear what the scoring mechanism is.
- Oculus 13y agoHey author here! Sorry for the buggyness, this is my first stab at realtime. I can confirm that everybody you're playing is a real person. I wasn't sure how to simulate latency for testing so that could be the source of the issues. I also have a mix of server/client msgs being sent, but plan on moving it all to the server except for moves. You can find the repo at https://github.com/EmilS/2048-multiplayer https://github.com/EmilS/2048-multiplayer, PR's are welcome! :)
- brown9-2 13y agoI got hooked up with someone who scored 500+ points in the first 10 seconds. Is someone playing this with bots?
- tarblog 13y agoMaybe, but you're probably just experiencing someone who starts the game by mashing the buttons. It works for a surprisingly long time.
- nullz 13y agoplz enable github issues
- broabprobe 13y agoSearching for competitor... always
- tarblog 13y agoUnplayably buggy.
- jlas 13y agoThis: http://i.imgur.com/E6QtRYn.png http://i.imgur.com/E6QtRYn.png Can be easily fixed by setting float:right on #player-online Have a nice day.
- bannus 13y agoThere's some bug ending games early, so this is pretty much a button mashing contest. Also, when games end early, it doesn't properly declare the winner. I assume something's broken in detecting if the board has no moves: http://i.imgur.com/4XBGCzI.png http://i.imgur.com/4XBGCzI.png
- wilhil 13y agoNow... who can add the AI on to this!?
- jw2013 13y agoSo when there was only 15 secs left, I got 4xxx points and my opponents only got xxx points. Then I was told I was lost (because I got no possible move I assume) and he was won, but that is really a bad game-winning condition because there was no way my opponent would got 4000 points in 15 secs. So why not let the game clock finish before the game tells who is the winner?
- ars 13y agoThe game is broken: http://i.imgur.com/RCUBkuF.png http://i.imgur.com/RCUBkuF.png I made a single move and it said the game was over???
- whywhywhy5 13y agoFirefox - searching for opponent for over 30 minutes. Chrome - finds opponent in seconds. Loses connection after 30 seconds - 1 minute. Buggy as all hell. Your multiplayer code needs work.
- jurnalanas 13y agoNow, does anyone have made the desktop version of this game? in java, perhaps?

- kevonc 13y agosadly its not working, can't find another player even when my friend and I are both waiting at the same time.
- spiderbro 13y ago"Twitch plays 2048" anyone?
- darksabrelord 13y agoI played through, it doesn't seem to be judging winner & loser correctly http://imgur.com/NXDykaP http://imgur.com/NXDykaP
- u2 13y ago"Use your arrow keys to move the tiles" ? How about a few more words about rules. How do you pick which tile you want to move? And btw, when I tried, two tiles with same numbers were NOT merging most of the time. Other times it seemed that the entire row was moving. Then again, I could not figure out how to select a tile to move. Mouse seemed to work but only sometimes. Perhaps accidentally... Too buggy or just big time lag.., or just big time lag..
- u2 13y agoNobody knows?!

- pattle 13y agoI was playing someone and when the game ended I had a higher score than them but its said I was the loser. I don't get it
