Isn't this the 2nd time you're on the the 1st page of hacker news

Don't forget about us when you're making fat stacks of cash from copying a game that copied a game and doing a pretty good job at it.

[QUOTE=TerabyteS_;44191838]Sure! Also I didn't add any ads because I'm still banned for life from AdSense :P[/QUOTE]

my adsense account is bugged out and google's response what "tough shit"

Ouch, how'd that happen?

I can give you some adsense code to put on there. :dance:

Put up some high scores there. So it stays competitive and people don't lose interest.

Got banned ages ago because of qfi.im, never been able to get back in since.

I don't know if I'll be able to do that before it's too late, because it requires a big deal of work (namely wrapping everything in a node server, implementing a score database, ways to avoid cheating, and migrating from github.io). I'd probably end up pulling my hair out in the process :v:

Right now you can tweet your score once you lose, hopefully that'll work.

Huge response on HN, grats! You've got over 3x the points of everything but one other post on the front page.

Yeah, I have no idea how the heck that happened. It's getting close to 1000 points, with no signs of stopping. Only the huge articles usually get that amount of points. I think I got pretty lucky

It kind of reminds me of Candy Crush Saga. I mean, it's inspired of other games, got insanely popular suddenly even if people say 'look here is the original' etc... Obviously it's not the same, but I find it interesting that it also happens in the non mobile market.

Looked around in one of my CS lectures and like half of the kids in class were playing your game. That's what you get for hitting #1 on HN. Once I saw the URL I was like "holy shit, I recognize that site"

I shouldn't write this at all, especially in the state I'm in right now. Because right now I feel like shit. I don't feel mad at anyone, that makes it worse. I've spent the last week promoting the game in various forums, on twitter, etc. to no avail. I have [B]no[/B] right to be mad, because I just did a clone of a clone. But when I see the numbers, I'm just sad. And then I see the commits by various people on Github. Maybe I'm not good at promoting. I don't know. I don't know if I'll continue developping my game, I completely ignored my studies for it and I see the results.

Props to you TerabyteS, you deserve it [IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/heart.png[/IMG]

EDIT: Going to take a break from Internet in general, I'll get back when I feel better.

That is the curse of social things, nobody can really say what will get famous and what won't.

And I don't think your game likes me, TerabyteS_

Honestly 90% of the time it boils down to pure luck. I've had stuff blow up to an average of 20K active unique users a month (That's a lot for me) and I've had stuff that I put more work into only have a couple to none.

It's always a gamble.

Also who's this frederfred guy who submitted it?

Oh man, I feel so bad for that. I never expected my game to become so popular, let alone get so many players. I still owe everything to your game though, because it's the one that got me interested (and I played it for something like 8 hours). I think you should consider yourself and your game a big part in the popularity of this version. Without you, it wouldn't even exist!

Please get better!

About the 2048 posted on this page, spent my entire web dev class playing it:

Someone is asking what is making it so popular... It's somehow STILL #1 on HN :v:

[commander204]

I have added Dependency Injection to my Framework. I am using reflection for it, so it's just as easy as doing:

{ 
  // Module stuff
  init: function(a_dependency, another_dependency) {
    // Code
  }

}

It will try to resolve those dependencies and init them if they still not haven't. Right now it is still susceptible to circular dependencies. However I am not sure how I could easily detect it. It is easy at one level of dependency, but you can have more than one.

You will also be able to optionally load dependencies through a few special modules that get injected a bit differently.

[HarryG321]

Welp, I guess you won HN

[Miljaker]

Just a suggestion. How about you guys (saming and terabytes) combine the two. Two separate gamemodes. One where the tile does fall to the end and the other where it falls to the first obstruction. Get a domain and host it somewhere. Keep the separate designs (blue and brown) . Just make sure they use the same controls.

I showed my roommates 2048, who then showed all of their friends. 4 hours later, all I hear is "I will find the man responsible for this game and murder him". Haha

Was looking at my Facebook timeline when I saw a screenshot:
