It seems I might have saturated my 50 connection limit or something... I'm using peerjs and it's stopped working.

EDIT: Fixed (as of 10:50 AM PST).

Can you try using Firebase? Seems like it might be a good tool for the job...

Or maybe allow us to enter our own PeerJS API key?

Sure. Just clone https://github.com/chrischen/2x2048.

I'm setting up my own peerjs server now.

Just added in matchmaking, for those who don't have friends.

Seriously, let's stop using various 2048 clones to get to the top of the main HN page and get back to work.

Well it is midterms time.

FUCK THAT

sorry - had to

I honestly believe the nerdery around 2048 to be a generally positive thing. I love games and the possibilities they hold for shared understanding of systems...

"All other sites are derivatives of this derivative, and should be used with extreme caution." Que??? I don't think all other sites are derivatives of your derivative, unless you were joking? I think you accidentally double downed on the original disclaimer. But, this is really cool, already showed my friends!

Appears to be down, from peerjs.com I'm getting

    {"type":"ERROR","payload":{"msg":"Server has reached its concurrent user limit"}}

What are the browser requirements? I cannot get it to work.

Latest versions of Chrome or Firefox.

The box after "Give this link to the other player:" is blank for me with the latest version of Firefox.

We're debugging the webRTC server. There's too much load at the moment.

Okay, thank you for the explanation.

Can someone please test this with me. http://instapainting.com/2x2048/index.html#a2sfouwg03aw0zfr

Edit: Humn, now just says "blue's turn". I can't do anything...

Sorry we have a bug if more than 2 people join the game. Once the third person joins it messes up the game. Fixing this right now.

You can try making sure there's only one other person connected, and whoever is the guest (the person with the hash in the url) refresh the page to reconnect.

Here is my game on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.contraryki...

Why? There is about a hundred 2048 games for Android, be more creative next time. Do you think this is an easy way to earn some money? I feel contempt for every dev who makes an ad-supported 2048 or Flappy Bird clone.

You should put the score beside the board so we don't have to scroll up to see it every time. Also a chat feature would be cool. Other than that, very fun version.

I honestly have no idea what happens if two people try to connect to the same game! Let me know.

Someone connected, we were playing and then it stopped working. It said it was my turn but it wasn't responding. Refreshing the page made me disconnect.

The host can't refresh the page, but the guest player can, to reestablish connection. I think if a third person joins it freezes the game, and one of the guests would have to reconnect.

Trying trivial approach of opening 2 tabs and "connecting" through that, but it doesn't seem to work.

More like 2048÷2

Could you connect to other players automatically ?

Like matchmaking? Yes, planning that. This was literally hacked up in 2 days. Please don't look at the source haha.

Using Chrome and it's not working!
