I was coincidentally working on the same thing when I saw this yesterday. Pushed the code to https://github.com/helgefmi/c2048 https://github.com/helgefmi/c2048 if it's of anyones interest. It's just a wicked fast board implementation with a simple depth first search, as of now. But the idea of "making up" an opponent to make it possible to do alpha beta pruning is a cool idea. I might try to implementet it myself. I regularly get scores above 50k with AI_DEPTH=5-6 and NUM_TRIES=20-30. My record so far is a score of 220k :-).
