> So I built a script to randomly press the arrow keys[0]! I let it play a few games, and the highest it got to was 128 before consistently losing. So I guess you'll need some decent strategy to get to 2048.

That's a great idea for testing the depth of simple games. It's good to know a baseline score: players should be getting to the 128 tile or better, or else they're doing really bad.

Losing that early could be almost as impressive as winning. Think about how hard it would be to miss every question on a multiple choice test.
