SYNOPSIS

Research-quality code for studying 2048. The code in this repo backs what will be a series of blog posts:

1. Minimum Moves to Win with Markov Chains

Blog post: http://jdlm.info/articles/2017/08/05/markov-chain-2048.html

Files:

• bin/markov_chain --- generates most of the data
• data/markov_chain/plot.R --- scripts to create the plots

2. Number of States with Combinatorics

Blog post: http://jdlm.info/articles/2017/09/17/counting-states-combinatorics-2048.html

Files:

• bin/combinatorics --- generates the data
• bin/combinatorics_summary --- aggregation for the blog post
• data/combinatorics/plot_layers.R --- plot for the layer state counts
• data/combinatorics/plot_totals.R --- plot for the total state counts

3. Number of States by Exhaustive Enumeration

Blog post: http://jdlm.info/articles/2017/12/10/counting-states-enumeration-2048.html

Files:

• bin/enumeration --- utilities
• data/enumeration/enumeration.Rmd --- plots
• ext/twenty48/layer_builder.hpp --- main enumeration class
• ext/twenty48/state.hpp --- main state class for bit bashing

4. Optimal Play with Markov Decision Processes

Blog post: http://jdlm.info/articles/2018/03/18/markov-decision-process-2048.html

Files:

• bin/explore_2x2_mdp --- figures (via graphviz/dot)
• js --- optimal policy player widgets
• bin/pack_policy --- compact policies for delivery to browser
• lib/twenty48/layer_solver.rb / ext/twenty48/layer_solver.hpp --- the solver code
