This is an artificial intelligence bot for the 2048 puzzle game. The file PlayerAI_3.py file contains the code for the bot.
I used the minimax algorithm combined with alpha-beta pruning to pick the best move in a 200 milisecond time limit.

The algorithm achieves:
256: 100%
512: 100%
1024: 85%
2048: 20%

• python 3.5 or later
• git

The following lines should install python3.5 on your computer,

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3.5

Next we need to install git

sudo apt-get install git

git clone https://github.com/spirosbax/2048-ai.git

This will create a directory called "2048-ai" containing the repository files, then do

cd 2048-ai

Then run the file with

python3 GameManager_3.py

I am open to suggestions for improving the heuristics, feel free to contribute.
