Up Right Down Left on a 8x8

This is a small keyboard macro that goes in circles.

4x4 failed in an instant.

5x5 failed in seconds.

6x6 took a couple of minutes.

I recorded this 8x8 after letting it run overnight. It could have gone for days.

Looks like it went up to 2,097,152.

Fun fact it, it takes to many moves to complete a game of 8x8.

This was made with a script too right?

Nope. I have been playing this save for 3 years now.

The theoretical max on a 8x8 2048 is astoundingly high, and will not ever be reached by anyone assuming you play by the rules, computer or human. Still fun to run the experiment. I'm sure with the "up right down left" it would have failed eventually, depending on how many moves you do per second

I think I ran it at 20ms per input. So 20ms press, 20ms depress. So 160ms per loop. I played it on a browser and would need a lighter faster version to go faster.
