    In the original Suika game, two watermelons annihilate each other allowing for the possibility of an infinite score. Seems a little like making the game too easy, but making two watermelons is actually insanely hard for humans. I would love to see how far the AI can go with this new rule.

      Is it insanely hard? I have played 2048 few times and it's not that hard. Watching that AI play there, it looked like it was making really stupid mistakes. My main problem with 2048 has been RNG rather than messing up.
      Last version of 2048 that I played was about combining alcohol.

    So many people have pointed out that 2 watermelons annihilate each other, which would allow his AI to get an even better score. HOWEVER, in the actual game there are a few complications he didn't include. For one thing, the fruit hit boxes are NOT all circles. Grapes in particular have a very irregular hit box that causes them to be very annoying. Secondly, the fruits have different and odd weight values that can make them push other fruits around. Thirdly, it's actually impossible to drop larger fruit on the far sides, because they hit the lip of the cup and bounce inward. Finally, and most importantly, is Fruit SpaceX. In the actual game, when two fruit combine, they merge into each other, very rapidly. So rapidly that if a light fruit is sitting above the fusion in just the wrong way, that fruit can get launched out of the jar at escape velocity and it's game over. This kills so many runs, and all of these factors would make reaching that AI 2 watermelon goal a lot harder.
    All in all, though, really good job with the programming, and your usual awesome level of comedy in the video.

    There are a couple of improvements to make the game more like the original:
    When 2 fruits evolve, they create a little explosion, moving the fruits that are touching them in the moment of the evolution, this kind of explosion increases strength depending on the size of the fruit (in order to understand my words better you could watch frame by frame a fruit evolution from the original game)
    2 watermelons evolve to air, so the AI could get infinite score

    Instead of doing the chain thing (which sounds expensive to calculate), you could've just calculated an inverted 'fruit score' based on their distance from the bottom and their size, so a fruit of size 1 at position 0 == decent, a fruit of size 15 at position 15 == 225, which is bad. This would mean that the larger a fruit gets, the more it's punished by being at the top.
    That plus a 'average weight of fruit times total number of fruit' on screen (i.e. 2x 1 + 1x 16 = 6, but 1x 2 + 1x 16 = 9) would give you a good indicator of efficiency at very low calculation cost
