Can we stop this rubbish please? What bright minds come up with next? Like 2048 but 4096? But 3^10? But 5x5? But with greenish colours? But in PHP?

There's 2584 which is done with the Fibonacci numbers! :P

Come now, what more suitable ironic commentary on the state of 'startup chasing' could there be than a bunch of people on HN spending their days adding zero value to someone else's idea hoping theirs is the one that catches attention.

There's certainly a limit to how many of these should ideally be appearing on the front page and we have passed it.

I did like the 4d version though, and some of the AI discussion was interesting too.

I don't mean to belittle this, as it's more forking of a public repo than I've ever done, but the original 2048 had an option to continue after reaching 2048, so it seems this is barely modified.

FYI: You can play the original 2048 past 2048. You just click "Keep playing" after reaching 2048. Problem solved.

I saw a post listing the precursors to 2048, but can't track it down. Can someone with knowledge point me in the right direction? Thaks.

The page for 2048 lists them itself, rather than making effort to look 100% original, which is a nice thing we should see more often.
