2048-python

This is my 2048 puzzle AI module written in python for an office fun event.

The time limit of every move is 0.1 seconds.

Variants

There are five variants:

• kcwu.py Normal version.
• kcwu2.py Based on kcwu.py, multi-process.
• kcwu_short.py Based on kcwu.py, optimized for maximize (average_score/code_size).
• kcwu_short2.py Based on kcwu2.py, optimized for maximize (average_score/code_size).
• kcwu_short_min.py Optimized for minimize (average_score*code_size).

Algorithm

• Search: expectiminimax. It can search 3 steps ahead using expectiminimax.
• Eval: inspired from the stackoverflow article, combined with monotoneness, smoothness, and number of blank tile.
  • Weighting of these scores are tuned by hand. I don't know the reason of those magic numbers ;)
• Optimization:
  • Cut some 4 tile since the probability is low
  • Caching score for search node and eval node.
  • Because python is slow, I put some efforts to optimize for speed and the code is then ugly.

Test result

Result of 100 runs (single thread version):

• average 85458
• median 79396
• max 175484
• average speed: 17 ms/step
