How the AI Solver Works
The 2048 AI solver uses a greedy heuristic that evaluates each of the four possible moves and picks the one that results in the best board state. The heuristic rewards:
- Empty cells: More empty cells means more flexibility
- Monotonicity: Tiles in decreasing order along rows/columns
- Smoothness: Adjacent tiles with similar values merge more easily
- Corner positioning: Highest tile in the corner
This approach wins approximately 70-80% of games, faster than most human players. Advanced AI implementations using expectimax search with deeper lookahead win over 90% of games.
Watching the AI is a great way to learn strategy - observe how it maintains the corner, builds chains, and recovers from difficult positions. Then apply those patterns in your own games.
