[@enriquejunchaya5784]

Axel Andersson same, but it doesn't always get you a 2048. There's the "luck" factor and that's why Thomas couldn't get it either.

[@wthrwyz]

This pretty much *is* the strategy for 2048; pick a corner and work toward it. It doesn't always work because the random placement of new tiles will occasionally put you in a state where it becomes impossible to win despite perfect play (as illustrated by the video), but that's the nature of any game that features a random element. Put simply, luck beats skill any day of the week. Whatever you do, never move your largest value tile out of that corner - the RNG *will* screw you by immediately spawning a 2 there.

[@wwoods66]

@Nathan Williams -- "never move your largest value tile out of that corner" But sometimes that's the only move, alas.

Yeah, I think the entire problem boils down to develop a better way to evaluate the "game state". Looking 5 steps into the future should be absolutely enough to win this game, probably even 3. But it's sort of useless if your definition of whether the game state is good or not is so bad. eg aligned values (along a sort of S-shape) are much better than a 15 / 6 / 13 / 1 / 7 etc. Would be a rather complex algorithm for a simple game but hey

That’s where u see the value of human labeling. Simulating a human learning prespective is so hard that its better if a pro player of 2048 plays the game 500 times and we give the data to our neural network. Then AI can have a very good sense of what playing this game looks like. At this point AI knows how to play the game but there’s also room for improvement. so just like code bullet did, now we can use “choosing the best out of 5 moves” just like he did and it is gonna get better and better.

When I went down the rabbit hole with this game, my strategy revolved around one simple restiction: choose a direction (in my case, up) and never move in that direction. A consequence of this is that the largest tiles end up on one face, similar to your "top left for highest value block" strategy. I wonder how the AI would do with this restriction in direction. Edit: 2048 became an easy target, if I recall correctly, 8192 was the max I reached before throwing the game in my "NEVER TOUCH AGAIN" category.

[@BrianJones01]

@Natsu Dragneel I don't know that it can be considered "low" against any reasonable standard, even if it's not a record. To put it into perspective, a 6x6 board offers 2.25 times as much play area as a 4x4 board, and with that extra area comes many options for storing large tiles while building smaller tiles needed for further advancement (at a point, the hardest problem becomes efficient use of space).

[@thesadsalamander]

Y E S

[@gnaskar]

1: don't give points for having the same number next to each other; the value of the that is recorded in the next state, not this one. 2: reduce point value of a tile by 40% if the tile to the left is smaller and by 40% the tile above is smaller (this is a generalization of of keeping the biggest in the top left). If both are true the remaining value is 20%. 3: Award a sizeable bonus for empty tiles. Honestly, an AI that just tried to minimize the number of tiles with numbers on them with 5 states look ahead would probably be fairly good at this game.

[@Fattycheese73]

I think there’s an issue with the algorithm. In the actual game, part of the challenge is not knowing whether a 2 or 4 is gonna spawn. This especially matters when the board is almost full. Since the algorithm calculates what the board is gonna look like after 5 moves, then it already knows whether a 4 or 2 is gonna spawn in every one of those moves.

[@boggers]

i think if the AI knew what would spawn where ahead of time it would be solving for 2048 every time very easily. What he should be doing is calculating for every possibility over a couple of moves and playing the "safest" path. Treat the RNG as an adversary, and minimise the damage it can do.

[@4xelchess905]

yeah, he is probably doing a min max algo over the tree of all possible moves AND spawns. Alternatively, he may be computing probabilities and expected gains on that tree. A refinement would be making a Monte Carlo search, since we know the distribution of spawning. If the AI knew what would spawn where ahead of time, it would lead to spawn manipulation abuse, where the AI deliberately chooses an objectively subpaar move because he knows it will be lucky (the spawn location has to depend on its move, since available locations depend on its move).

[@jsmunroe]

This is they same way chess algorithms work. They calculate all possible next stages for each of the next possible moves. He claims he goes 5 layers deep with this. That's a fairly massive search tree, but I guess if he has the computational power and/or the time he could do it.

[@danielfay8963]

Additionally a 4 only spawns 10% of the time, meaning you need to account for the probability of a given outcome when considering the risk/reward

[@daniellucas5522]

Not that massive for this game. Chess has far more moves available in a turn, this one has only 4 moves and then the number of empty locations on the board left * 2 for where the next block will spawn.

I wonder how long it would take thomas to get to the 131072 tile. It would require a large amount of luck with tiles and probably takes trillions or more trials

[@fotwen]

ZX T I wonder that too. I had the same game going for months. Of course I didn't play it everyday. But it took forever. Mainly cause I had to fix mistakes. And of course it wasn't 4X4.

[@flabort]

@@fotwen Have you tried the 5D? 2x2x2x2x2? (2x2 grids layed out in two 2x2 grids, wasd within a grid, rf to go up, qe for within the two metagrids, and zx to swap between those). Since it's 32 empty tiles instead of 16, two tiles spawn with each move.

[@xanderh2404]

@The Creeper King It can, it's the theoretical maximum possible with a 4x4 grid. It requires a perfect arrangement of tiles to reach, and a 4 MUST spawn in the empty tile.

[@garrettbowes4878]

It can fit that but I had that block in the bottom left corner and the 4 in the bottom right. All other tiles where occupied by their highest possible value

Could you retry the neural network approach, but where the goal is to have a high number + fewer tiles on screen? Like, "success" is determined by the average tile value over time. That should help a lot, I would think.

[@entropyzero5588]

Alternatively, keep the current algorithm and use a nn to evolve the fitness function: Determine all the possible ways to score a game state (total score, highest tile, adjecency, position of highest tile, …) and have the nn change the weight of those data points.

It sounds like you implied you were using the minmax algorithm to evaluate the future game states. When evaluating the game state, you could take into consideration the possible locations for the new tile & its value (called substates) and apply a modified minmax algorithm to those substates. I can tell that this is not being done because of the move at 8:25, where 256,128,128 is moved right. The minimum state for that move would have been a 2 being added at the top left corner, permanently (for the forseeable 5 future moves, actually) displacing 512 from being in the top left corner. A left direction in this instance would be the better move. I'm halfway motivated to make a better algorithm for this game myself now

[@quietsamurai1998]

Why not use the game *length* as the evaluation function for NEAT? After a certain point, you can't just make random moves if you want to keep making moves. Each merge increases the game length by another move, so eventually an AI with a goal of maximizing game length would be forced to make a 2048 tile. That should make the fitness function far more fine-grained. Heck, you could probably do fitness=moveCount+2*maxTile to get the best of both, as any improvement in maxTile would be far better than ignoring a maxTile merge in favor of squeezing in a few extra turns.

[@bryan1972ca]

I was thinking he could do something similar with the Algorithm. Instead of looking for valuing large numbers are good, valuing solutions where there are less tiles on the screen. So the algorithm tries not to lose instead of trying to win. This might make the game go longer and thus giving larger numbers.

[@mittfh]

Perhaps also a higher bonus for keeping the highest numbers on the top row, or have an incentive that after merging on the top row, restrict moves to 'up' and 'left' until the top right position is filled.

[@gabrielgarcia9822]

but then ones that do not move at all will win
