It seems like the algorithm wasn't able to account for where tiles will appear or their value, so looking 5 moves into the future isn't much better than just looking one move into the future
Opinions cannot be right or wrong, if there is evidence behind the opinion then it is called a substantiated assumption and can be correct or incorrect
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.
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.
@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). But still, congratulations to your girlfriend, impressive work!
You should've told it that in addition to having the highest possible number in the top left corner is good, it should also prefer having as much free slots as possible and get rid of small tiles as much as possible
He also had that the 2nd highest scoring tile should be next to the highest scoring tile. This should continue on down, the 3rd should be next to the second, the 4th next to the third.
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
I like how even when "Thomas" finally succeeds, it's still less efficient than any even slightly smart human player, making Tommy sort of pointless, but he always was a problem child and it's the journey that matters, not the destination
Sergio Arvizu According to Wikipedia, the earliest representative of what we’d call humans, Homo Habilis, first showed up around 2.8 million years ago. Assuming generations take 20 years, which is probably very uninformed, that would be 140,000 generations. Not as much as a million, but a bit more time to develop than 247 generations. That’d only get us to here from just before the Great Pyramids were built.
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. The more complex the problem (self driving car) the more useful the human teaching
As somebody who is named Thomas, this ai is basically a perfect recreation of anybody named Thomas. They fail at everything for a while, then somehow get it out of sheer luck.

Hey! I actually made a 2048 ai in college. Takes me back. Mine performed okay, but the algorithm was definitely trash compared to the top tier algorithms. Was satisfying to see it all work though.
You should have added to Thomas points for not moving the biggest tile. What I learned from playing this game constantly is that you should never move the biggest tile from his corner except there is no other way.
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.
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.
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.
You guys need to keep something in mind, its not just coding the AI, he also has to code the entire game, which is the most time consuming part. That's the main reason behind doing "simple games".
Stop to pretend to be so dumb lmao, its actually impossible to not to reach 256 even moving completely random i guess, anyway back at school my record was 8192 (+ 2 2048,so i wasnt really close to the 16k)
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
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.
@@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.
@@TheeCK1357 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.
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
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Perhaps a better scoring algorithm would reward keeping tiles of the same value adjacent, and also somewhat reward keeping tiles of almost-the-same values adjacent. Also reward empty space, because that's your distance from the loss condition.
I think you could add multiple things for improvement: 1. moving the big tile ever out of a corner should be nearly as punished as losing 2. you should also harshly punish not having some line from highest to smallest. With that and 5 steps in the future you should easily get 4096 consistently.
That wouldn't actually do very much. The best strategy that human players are able to use consistently is keeping your six largest tiles in a 2x3 rectangle on a corner. The order of the tiles within the rectangle doesn't matter, only the location of the smallest of the 6
@@jakerussell135 I think you are wrong, I was really competitive with a friend in school on this, and we both got to the 8192 tile (no redo button). And I can still do the 2048 tile without really thinking >90%. If you have the highest 4 from one side to the other small to high, you got 3 possible directions that won’t destroy your setup. If you go 2*3 you often only got 2. This might be enough for 2048, but not much more. If you don't have a correct order, you will have to make awkward moves at some point. I might be wrong though, if you got a more specific strategy and good success I would be interested.
@@zimne5212 try searching "839952" here on UA-cam. A game of 2048 by Stefan Popescu should show up. L That's the fourth highest known human score ever. It uses that 2x3 method as well. The benefit of the 2x3 method is that it actually allows you to use all four directions much of the time

Hey! I actually made a 2048 ai in college. Takes me back. Mine performed okay, but the algorithm was definitely trash compared to the top tier algorithms. Was satisfying to see it all work though.
You should have added to Thomas points for not moving the biggest tile. What I learned from playing this game constantly is that you should never move the biggest tile from his corner except there is no other way.
I don't know.... Give more points to a right strategy moviment is not a bit cheating?
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.
At 9:07 your A.I. was within 5 moves of victory and it made the wrong move. Luckily he got there still anyway a few seconds later
@CoRE Pyroz Right, Up, Left, Left. You're probably not looking at the same board configuration I am since the video is moving so fast.
9:08 up left left
right, up, left, left( there are alot of other ways ive also seen to instantly solve it but whatever)
Yeah ikr down, right, up, left, left
Thomas seems to always wants to solve the block from top left to right so at 9:07 he wanted to solve the top far right block next??
I love how back when he posted this he wasn't so unhinged and actually seemed like a calm guy doing coding for fun
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.
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.
YOU PROMISED US!

I love this, can you try more complicated game ?
Like Super meat boy? Or The End is nigh
Like enigma
@fabi Lindner a teacher of mine did it ^^ but she said it is not really simple...
Mathis DANO ugh... i can almost smells the insanely complicated logic, calculus and possibilities reeking...
You guys need to keep something in mind, its not just coding the AI, he also has to code the entire game, which is the most time consuming part. That's the main reason behind doing "simple games".
Seems like using NEAT to evolve an evaluation metric for the lookahead approach would be a useful fusion of the two methods.
that’s how really advanced AIs like alpha zero work, they use the neural network to learn which parts of the game tree to look into
Wow thats neat
Thomas: Is an AI and within 5 tries reaches 2048
Me: can’t even get to 512
I can barely get to 64
A computer pressing random keys has gotten farther than I ever have.
Stop to pretend to be so dumb lmao, its actually impossible to not to reach 256 even moving completely random i guess, anyway back at school my record was 8192 (+ 2 2048,so i wasnt really close to the 16k)
@@alexandrubragari1537 It's not impossible. You just have to intentionally be stupid.

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
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.
thommy will just print a tile with 131072 on it and call it gg
@@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.
@@TheeCK1357 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.
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
I some how keep arriving at your videos late at night when I am searching for vids to watch and I always get so fascinated by you content.
Your videos are great and the new animations are awesome

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.
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.
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).
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.
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
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.
He's so skilled
Djce games, i totally agree

Oh and CB did stuff too
me: *hears over-dramatic royalty-free music*
also me: yeah dis the one
4 years later and i am still waiting for that enigma video.... you cant leave me hanging like this :(
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.
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.
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.
but then ones that do not move at all will win
@@gabrielgarcia9822 no, because it's not about length of time but number of moves, that's the length, not actual time

Perhaps a better scoring algorithm would reward keeping tiles of the same value adjacent, and also somewhat reward keeping tiles of almost-the-same values adjacent.
Also reward empty space, because that's your distance from the loss condition.

I think you could add multiple things for improvement:
1. moving the big tile ever out of a corner should be nearly as punished as losing
2. you should also harshly punish not having some line from highest to smallest.
With that and 5 steps in the future you should easily get 4096 consistently.
That wouldn't actually do very much. The best strategy that human players are able to use consistently is keeping your six largest tiles in a 2x3 rectangle on a corner. The order of the tiles within the rectangle doesn't matter, only the location of the smallest of the 6
@@jakerussell135 I think you are wrong, I was really competitive with a friend in school on this, and we both got to the 8192 tile (no redo button). And I can still do the 2048 tile without really thinking >90%.
If you have the highest 4 from one side to the other small to high, you got 3 possible directions that won’t destroy your setup. If you go 2*3 you often only got 2. This might be enough for 2048, but not much more.
If you don't have a correct order, you will have to make awkward moves at some point.
I might be wrong though, if you got a more specific strategy and good success I would be interested.
@@zimne5212 try searching "839952" here on UA-cam. A game of 2048 by Stefan Popescu should show up. L That's the fourth highest known human score ever. It uses that 2x3 method as well. The benefit of the 2x3 method is that it actually allows you to use all four directions much of the time

program thOMaS to get 16384, because i only got to 8192 playing manually :P
you should score gamestates with a 2 or a 4 in between of 16+ tiles very, very low
the best way to die in this game is to get a newly spawned tile in between of your higher numbers
Nic Jansen I got the 16k tile a few years back on a stroke of luck. That was when I was in high school and literally played 2048 in all of my free time
Its actually not that hard to get 16k just takes a lot of time to get there
I got the 8192 too, not even try de 16k, i didn't think that was possible in the time i got the 8k xD get the 2048 is so easy, even now, its a little bit harder get the 4k, but still possible and easy... xD
my sister somehow managed to get to the 32k tile manually a few times (and she almost reached 65k once), but don't ask me how she did it, I can only get to 2048... she plays this game in every second of her free time though and the games in which she got 32k usually lasted a few weeks or so
One time I was playing on a the back of a plane seat after my phone ran out of battery and I was one 128 away from getting the 16k and the plane landed and my game got ended
