The current world record utilizes a glitch by holding down 2 inputs simultaneously. I don't believe this is intended behavior, in fact he characterizes it as a glitch himself, on the youtube video. In my mind this is pretty clearly in macro territory, i.e. mashing buttons faster than a human could.

I can't reproduce this glitch, which leads me to believe it may be OS-specific or something. To quote a mod (https://www.speedrun.com/2048/thread/nhb2y/1#93tot), "We want everyone on an even playing ground."

I'm not accusing rauflegon of cheating, I think he just used a loophole that wasn't explicitly banned by the rules. But I don't think this should be allowed.

I had competitive times on the old leaderboard, including the 4096 WR. I'd like to compete for the 2048 WR, but I won't even try if boost glitches like this are allowed, that I don't even have access to.

Can we please make a rule that the video must show hands on keyboard? There's nothing stopping people from making macros to mash keys for them. I used to do it for casual play to cut down on muscle strain.

I have a 10:22 to submit for 8192
