Hi everyone!
For my first hack/ code thingy, I decided to show you guys how to hack this game called 2048 two ways.
Before you hack this game, I should probably tell you what it is about. (If you already play this game or know how to play it, please feel free to skip this section.) 2048 is a tile game created by Gabriele Cirulli. You use your arrow keys to move the tiles, and when two of the same tiles touch, they merge into one number. The goal of the game is to get the 2048 block, although it is possible to combine two 2048 blocks and blocks after that.
All right, let’s get started!
Hack #1
Make your board look like this:
Yep, that’s right. You can fill the entire board with these tiles. Just follow the steps below:
1: Go to this website: https://play2048.co/
2: If you are on a laptop type computer, click down with two fingers and click inspect. If you are on a computer with a mouse, right click. A pop up menu thingy should appear:
3:Click on “inspect”.
Something like this should appear:
4: Click on the arrow in the top left corner and click on the left side of the split screen (the side that has the 2048 game board). It doesn’t matter where you press. The menu should expand and look like this:
5: Scroll down until you find the section that looks like this:
6: If you are on a laptop, click on js/game manager.js with two fingers. A popup menu should appear. Click on reveal in sources panel.
It should look like this now:
7: Press command f and type in “initial”. It will take you to this line of code:
8: After the line that says “this.addStartTiles();”, add in this code:
this.grid.insertTile(new Tile({x:0,y:0}, 65536)); this.grid.insertTile(new Tile({x:0,y:1}, 65536));this.grid.insertTile(new Tile({x:0,y:2}, 65536));this.grid.insertTile(new Tile({x:0,y:3}, 65536));this.grid.insertTile(new Tile({x:1,y:3}, 65536));this.grid.insertTile(new Tile({x:1,y:2}, 65536));this.grid.insertTile(new Tile({x:1,y:1}, 65536));this.grid.insertTile(new Tile({x:1,y:0}, 65536));this.grid.insertTile(new Tile({x:2,y:0}, 65536));this.grid.insertTile(new Tile({x:2,y:1}, 65536));this.grid.insertTile(new Tile({x:2,y:2}, 65536));this.grid.insertTile(new Tile({x:2,y:3}, 65536));this.grid.insertTile(new Tile({x:3,y:0}, 65536));this.grid.insertTile(new Tile({x:3,y:1}, 65536));this.grid.insertTile(new Tile({x:3,y:2}, 65536));this.grid.insertTile(new Tile({x:3,y:3}, 65536));
9: Hit command s.
10: Now you can get rid of the inspect side of the screen by hitting the x in the top right corner. Press new game. Done!
Hack #2
Spawn tiles of any value. For example:
1: Follow steps 1-7 from hack #1.
2: Now, press command f again and type in “math”. It should take you to this line of code:
3: Replace the 2 and 4 with whatever numbers you want!
That’s all for today! See you guys soon.
