148 first try, but I forgot for a bit that you could jump and duck.

You can jump and duck?!?  I thought you just had to be awesome and take the hits.  I still made 141.

Curveball's pretty old, but awesome.  That's the first time I've seen Tunnel Racer, which is also awesome.

That tunnel racer was bizarre.. I played it about 18 months on the side of this page: http://www.kingsofchaos.com (KoC is crap BTW) but it's gone now. The bizarre thing? My arrow keys didn't work. Not sure why. Meh.

Title: Re: Dumb Time Wasting Games
Post by: Betazep on April 19, 2014, 01:35:01 PM
There is a bit of a trick... Once known... Seems to make it easier. I found two distinct methods when put together provide high results every time. It still is challenging... But with a little framework, it is easier. Should I share?
Title: Re: Dumb Time Wasting Games
Post by: Mike on April 19, 2014, 01:40:58 PM
Yes.  My best is like 7K with a 512 square
Title: Re: Dumb Time Wasting Games
Post by: Betazep on April 19, 2014, 04:49:49 PM
Only move in three directions the entire game when possible. (Preferable up-left-right, but concept is the same.)

On the single direction side (e.g top), always try to keep the biggest number in the corner (e.g top left) and fill upward from the other corner. To do this if the top left is a 512... Then a 128... Then a 64... Then a blank. Try not to shift right. It could drop a 2 in the top left corner breaking the rule. That would require you to get the 2 up to a 512 to continue the pattern.

I will post a picture of the process.
Title: Re: Dumb Time Wasting Games
Post by: Betazep on April 19, 2014, 05:01:28 PM
Follow along... Only shifting up/left/right.

I should note... Sometimes you will have to shift the top row right. In most cases that won't affect you and you can move back left to move the biggest number back in the corner. When a low number gets dropped into the top left, most of the time you can recover. Just keep moving only left right up. Moving down is really bad. It is almost unrecoverable in most cases.
Title: Re: Dumb Time Wasting Games
Post by: Betazep on April 19, 2014, 05:04:09 PM
Continued
Title: Re: Dumb Time Wasting Games
Post by: Betazep on April 19, 2014, 05:17:01 PM
The last two above I missed a screenshot. Basically moved up once... A two was luckily dropped in the right column... Moved that up.

Once the top row is locked up... You can move left AND right, but never down.

If you move down. Move back up right away and conduct damage control.
Title: Re: Dumb Time Wasting Games
Post by: Mike on April 19, 2014, 07:07:33 PM
Got up to 15K with a 1024 block.  Sooo close!!!
Title: Re: Dumb Time Wasting Games
Post by: charlie on April 20, 2014, 01:26:06 AM
Awesome. Was gonna ask what the strategy was. :)
Title: Re: Dumb Time Wasting Games
Post by: Perspective on April 20, 2014, 10:38:37 AM
Beta's strategy is good :) previously I was doing something similar, stuffing values into corners, but I would switch corners opportunistically. This would end up leaving my higher blocks spread out. With Betas approach the high blocks stay close. I still break the banned direction rule opportunistically, but only if it has a big benefit.

I got impatient at the end of this game and any a little crazy. I probably could have run it up when higher.
Title: Re: Dumb Time Wasting Games
Post by: Betazep on April 20, 2014, 12:21:39 PM
What is with the practice mode!? No undo-ing! :)

Thanks for validating the strategy.

Great score too!
Title: Re: Dumb Time Wasting Games

I too have been in "hard mode". Though an undo probably has a little less help than expected.

Dammit!  I followed the rules and somehow got to the point where I had to push down.... which put a 2 in the upper left corner and fucked me... I had a 1024, 512, 256 all on the board.  Final score 15K.  :(  So close.

my top score is over 16,000 but I still haven't won.  Most games I end up with a 1024 but, at best, I've only had a 512 or two that I couldn't combine with it before capping out.

Finally got to 2048 (finished with 23292) and thought I'd be done with it. But I still played two more times since then.

I have to admit I got lucky with my 2048. I was seriously struggling at the end, but then abandoned the Beta principles just to link 64-64-128-256-512-1024 to win.

I've hit 4096 several times now and can get to 2048 consistently. You just have to find a groove Micah and never get into a spot where your "fixed" row get compromised. And if it does get compromised you just work it from the other end.

Just wait... eventually you will come back together. It takes longer the bigger you are.

Also, I saw this cool trick where you can shoot some of yourself off to make one of the green things bigger so that it shoots off into somebody else on the other side. I've only got it to shoot off once and I missed, but somebody did it to me once. Luckily there was nobody big around and I could wait and come back together.

I still play fairly often during work hours. It's my random brain break. It sucks of course because if you're doing well you have to keep playing and you can't really pause or anything. I never get up to 10000 but I get to first sometimes and then eventually just give myself to somebody who is not playing on a team or who has a nondescript name.

So, in addition to agario, now there's slitherio (http://slither.io). I've only played it a few times. I don't like that if you mess up once you're done (versus agario where you can partly eaten and still survive), but it might grow on me.

Also, I still play agario a fair amount when I have time... even doing so well one time that I started getting groupies...

OK, I think I'm done.

here is my strategy - don't go in the middle, too much chaos in the middle and chances of dying are too great. Stay on the fringes. Use the map to spot targets. Once you get to 10K+ it becomes pretty simple, because then other snakes start chasing you. get along side and go for the death grip. I was number one for a good half hour. my hand hurts.

anyone else playing this? it is super addictive.

I can consistently get to $10K+  if there are a lot of players on the map it is tough holding on to your size. plus, lag kills. it's true.

Yeah... made it up to 2nd and 20k one time. I like to go to the middle to get big quick since I don't have a ton of time to play. That's one issue with this and agario, you can't ever take a break.

Not exactly in the spirit of this thread, but still it had the same effect... I played StarCraft start to finish after finding it a couple weeks ago and installing it on my machine at home. Somehow I got a lot more stuff done after I finished the last level than I had been getting done before that. Unfortunately WarCraft II no longer works on my Win 7 machine.

Don't play much Slither.io any more. Still play Agar.io occasionally.

Newest favorite is Splix.io (http://splix.io/).

Wasn't that fun at first but now that I'm good it's something to do and mess with the kids playing it. Another one without a pause, though.
