About

This Battle Royale 2048 Simulator visualizes competitive heuristic algorithms in real-time. Unlike the solitary standard version, this tool pits multiple AI agents against each other in a fight for survival. The simulation uses a weighted evaluation function favoring monotonicity and corner-clustering to determine optimal moves.

In Attack Mode, the game introduces a combat variable: when an agent creates a tile of value 128 or higher, it transmits a STONE (non-mergeable obstacle) to a rival's grid. The simulation ends when only one agent remains operational (moves > 0).

Formulas

The AI evaluates board states using a linear utility function U:

U(G) = w_m ⋅ mono(G) + w_s ⋅ smooth(G) + w_e ⋅ empty(G)

Where G is the grid state, and w represents the weight coefficients for monotonicity, smoothness, and empty cells respectively. The agent selects move m such that:

m^* = argmax_{m ∈ M} ( U( simulate(G, m) ) )

Frequently Asked Questions

The AI uses a heuristic scoring system. It prefers states where high-value tiles are in corners (Monotonicity) and adjacent tiles have similar values (Smoothness).

These are "Stones" generated by opponent attacks. They act as immobile obstacles with value 0 and cannot be merged. They are removed only if the bot survives long enough for them to decay (feature dependent) or via special game rules.

This is currently a pure simulation (Zero-Player Game) designed to analyze algorithmic performance, but you can influence the outcome by adjusting the simulation speed and attack aggression.

Theoretically 131,072 in a perfect 4x4 game, but in Battle Royale mode, "Stone" attacks usually end games before tiles exceed 4096 or 8192.
