A StarCraft mod that enables a player to play with only 8 buttons. The top row shows the different strategies a player can execute, while the bottom row allows the player to attack, retreat, or expand. Never before has AI helped players achieve this level of awesome!!

the only button you really need is dt, though. but then terrans might pick up their buildings out of rage and force you to build a dragoon.

I strongly dislike this mod as it simplifies the game to much, I would however felt compelled to watch a game of a semi-pro vs a real pro to see how they'd cope.

This is a real mod using BWAPI. The GUI is a visualization of the options my AI has.

I was considering releasing this, but it might make things too easy. The best part is, you can still control your units!

fun stuff and gjob. That's really slick and really unique to be able to interact with the cpu like that! The GUI for those buttons are hideous looking, but nice code work! Was the Zerg a 2nd player or CPU as well?

You should refine it to maximum efficiency if you can. Maybe make it do perfect macro off of the gateways . If you didnt have to focus on macro at all you could micro sooo epicly. Also you should make 3 modes for each MU. Probably just standard bo's, but if you put some cheese in there it would be truely hillarious. Options:1. double proxy rax, 2. gas steal, 3. manner pylon, 4. all

Full screen makes it even more obvious it's 55/50, for me at least.
Just cause it goes to 66 shortly after could be 2 pylons at same time

See, he did it like this cause he wanted a challenge. The Zerg version was beta, and just had three buttons: "muta", "expand", and "hydra". It was Shine's secret weapon last OSL.
