The guy made it clear that he wasn't interested in hearing you bash his shit, so don't bash it. I realize that you probably get some juvenile satisfaction out of insulting other people and their work for no reason whatsoever, but it doesn't really impress the rest of the world so maybe you should keep it to yourself eh?

a programmable sc playing bot would be cool =D

IDEA: what if you could give the bot a replay file and it could mimmick the build order and strategy but adjust it for the enemy's location. Or what if the bot had a catalog of replays and could locate games at the same map/positions/races. that would be sexy

Louder of course it would be cool but who will do it and if there is any chance to do such thing. It will take lots of work and time. I think that is wasting time.

Tried it and the comp did not exp at all... It was also pretty hard to kill it since it wont attack ecept when it has an advantage (I think or it just attacks one time early on) so it just sits in it base until the macro kills it.. But wery interesting indeed, will try it a few more times in different mu's...

Inspire I'm sure there are some programmers who play bw with nothing better to do than write code

statistically speaking there must be at least a handful =)

i think its easy to beat most matchups, because it lacks early pressure

in PvT for example i can go up to 20 supply without thinking of building a goon or zealot
therefore FE is in most cases an easy win

great job! I can see how much work lies behind this and thats a huge effort. If its problematic to make the ai micro better, perhaps make it make units which are easy to micro. Also give the computer vision. So if it sees what type of units you have it make an appropiate counter. I guess this would be very hard though since as far as I know starcraft ai has never been flexible.

This version you dont. It supports 1.11

Tried it again and this time the comp expanded(alot) but it only attacks once. Have pretty bad macro and well it is easier than the standard AI imo.. I'll wait for a new wersion...
Dont know why but I really like playing vs the comp and this one you need a shitload of units and it takes more time to beat, but since you wont get attacked...
well it is some fun to do when I dont wanna play online so a big GW guys.

i know the computer can react to varoius builds, i.e. count how many scv u have + how many starport etc. and make reactions. so the reactions could theoretically be very realistic and effective. but to edit build placement and micro u would need to hack it on a lower level probably.. at least i dont think u can script it so well.

Thanks man, I think this is way cool, especially since I can't play BW online for at least a few more weeks because my ISP doesn't know what UDP is

toss and zerg will sit inside the base slowly massing up, but will rarely attack. scan the zerg base, and you will see about 40 lurkers burrowed after about 20 mins.

good effort, strong ai, but could be a lot better. nevertheless, awesome work

OS MAC ~ hum hard one all we would need to do is make the Installer fo MAC. I will ask around.

To everyone leaving posts like " they computer just does this or that" <<< this helps us a lot because its not the same thing as having 2 guys testing its behavior as a having 100 people. We learn from these post.

To people using craked or no cd versions of Starcraft. Sorry. Go Buy Cd (5.99 to 9.99 now). If not mail, BWS_rama personally ~ he.. oh well to say the least.. he knows a few things about playing without paying...and he might help you if you can understand his instructions. But honest man if you live in a country were you can get 5 bucks for an hours wage or more.. by the disc man - so little money for sooo much benefit pleasure wise - just decent thing to do.
