awesome game. I love the math

  2 * 1024 = 2048
  4 * 512  = 2048
  8 * 256  = 2048
  ..
  1024 * 2 = 2048
            20480 <-- minimum points
is there a elegant formula to get to the minimum required points?


That's not quite the minimum points, since occasionally (10% of the time) a 4 spawns, instead of a 2.


that's incorrect.

just because a 4 gets spawned 10% of the time, doesn't mean that there couldn't be a game where 4 does not get spawned


4s reduce the total score. (E.g. I won with a score of about 20200 once.)


i stand corrected


20144 score
