Endless Mode

[JakeWharton]

Please add a checkbox for "Endless Mode" where reaching 2048 is just another number and you are allowed to continue playing.

This should probably be differentiated in the pre-populated tweet so as to differentiate it from normal "2048" mode.

Hey! This seems like a nice idea but probably requires a bit of ground work. As far as I know, @marg51 should be working on this, so I'm going to wait until we hear from him!

Yeah I have done something quite different.

When you win, you can continue the game by clicking keep playing. Easy implementation. Just one mode. What do you think ?

As regards twitter, I agreed.

• One tweet when there is no more move available ( 2048 or not ): I scored [...]

That sounds perfect. Elegant solution.

I like that solution as well. Very elegant, and removes the need to have checkboxes and other things laying around. I'd say the only thing left to figure out is what color to use on tiles above 2048 and up to what tile it makes sense to build styles. I think we could go with a special color for tiles above 2048 to make it feel "elite", but we should also run some calculations to figure out what tile is likely to never be seen and end support there. It shouldn't cost much to add styles up to 65536. I doubt anyone will get up to that point, and if they do, they should probably invest some time in getting their life back together 😄

@gabrielecirulli you could switch over to another color style from that point forward.

[gabrielecirulli]

Any ideas over specific colors? I tried to use warm colors for all the tiles, so it might be good to continue on that pattern.

[JakeWharton]

Maybe just step towards #000000 or #ffffff from the 2048 tile's color.

[gabrielecirulli]

That could work.

[JakeWharton]

Please add an easter egg if you "lose" with tiles: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16385, 32768, 65536. Even if only by cheating :)

[warmwaffles]

It would be fun to actually have it roll over to negatives

[marg51]

There are conflicts with my code and PR 3 (LocalStorage).
I'm waiting for the merge to resolve them and push my code.

[gabrielecirulli]

I'm merging #3 at the moment, with some tweaks. Should be up in a bit. You could try merging again after that.

Master is now up to date

[BrunoSpy]

Thanks for this nice improvement ! When will it be avalaible on http://gabrielecirulli.github.io/2048/ ?

[gabrielecirulli]

Now included in the game

[MiniGod]

Guys... Maybe we should rename the game?
