2048 is a popular puzzle game released in 2014. I remember during downtime in the office my coworkers and I would play 2048 countless of times competing to get the best score.

While many years has passed since those in offices matches I still from time to time play 2048 to see if I’m still capable. Fortunately now I have blockchain dApp development under my belt. So I thought I’d combine my love for 2048 and my love for blockchain development. Thus spawning 2048x.

How It WorksRaleigh_CA

The simple objective via Wikipedia states:

2048 is a single-player sliding block puzzle game designed by Italian web developer Gabriele Cirulli. The game’s objective is to slide numbered tiles on a grid to combine them to create a tile with the number 2048. However, one can continue to play the game after reaching the goal, creating tiles with larger numbers.

However with 2048x there is a blockchain element. You pay 40 VET to play, roughly 25 cents (akin to old school arcade games) at current VET prices. This 40 VET (minus the 10% fee) goes to the pool. Once you achieve the high score you receive the total amount in the pool.

You start by entering a secret. This secret is an extra layer of security. Please do not forget your secret or you will have to end the current game even if you achieve the high score and you will not receive the prize. Once you enter your secret you can then play 2048x.

If you achieve the high score you will be prompted with 2 transaction request. the first transaction is to record your score and a 2nd transaction is to end the game. If you do not receive the high score you will just be prompted to end the game. Also if you wish to forfeit you can click end game at any time.

Future Updates

This is really just a side project I wanted to work on to better my knowledge of blockchain development. Not sure how active I will maintain this in the future. For now I’ll fix any bugs and issues that may come up as well as add a VTHO version, possibly change pricing (dependent on feedback) and possibly fees (dependent of feedback).

Let me know what you guys think!
