🧩 2048 Ultimate Lab

2048 Ultimate Lab is a highly customizable and enhanced version of the classic 2048 tile-merging puzzle game. Challenge yourself with multiple modes, various board sizes, and unique visual themes!


🚀 Key Features

  • Variable Board Size: Play on grid sizes ranging from a 2x2 challenge up to an immense 8x8 board.
  • Multiple Game Modes: Beyond the Normal (2048) experience, explore unique merging mechanics:
    • Always 2: Tiles only spawn as the number 2.
    • Fibonacci: Tiles only merge if they are adjacent numbers in the Fibonacci sequence (e.g., 1+2=3, 2+3=5, 3+5=8).
    • Threes! (1+2): Merging 1s and 2s creates 3s. Identical tiles (3 and up) merge as usual (3+3=6).
    • Merge Any (Sum): Any two adjacent tiles can merge, and the result is their sum.
    • Negative (+/-): Introduces negative tiles and explores merging based on absolute values.
  • Customizable Skins: Change the game's aesthetic with different themes:
    • Default
    • 死神永生 (Death) (Dark, futuristic theme)
    • 使徒 (EVA) (Neon green and purple)
    • 兵库北 (Meme) (Uses emoji faces for lower tiles)
    • Chemistry (Uses atomic symbols on tiles, e.g., H, He, Li)

🤖 Auto-Play Strategies

The "Lab" component of the game allows you to test out automatic play algorithms:

Strategy Description
Corner Tries to keep the highest tile in one corner, primarily pushing Up and Right/Left.
Swing Alternates between two opposing directions (e.g., Right and Left).
Swirl Cycles through all four directions in sequence (Up, Right, Down, Left).
Rand Moves in completely random directions.
Stop Halts any active auto-play process.

🎮 How to Play

Merge tiles with the same number by moving them across the grid. When two identical tiles collide, they merge into a single tile with the value of their sum.

Goal: Reach the highest possible tile value (or the mode-specific goal) before the grid fills up and no more moves are possible.

Controls

  • Keyboard: Use WASD or the Arrow Keys (Up, Right, Down, Left) to move the tiles.
  • Touch/Swipe: Swipe on the game board in the direction you want to move.
  • Button: Use the Restart button to start a new game.
