Broodwar Artificial Intelligence
1998 Starcraft Broodwar hits the streets. Numerous World Cyber Games championships are held, in Korea a pro scene with salaries in the hundreds of thousands, grand tournaments wilth fangirls and golden mice.
2010 Sees the dawn of the AI in Broodwar. If you thought Boxer had fast hands, think again. Five years later, many tournaments have been held, many people have graduated on the topic and many have written a bot, using one of the APIs (see links section) developed expressly for Starcraft Broodwar AI coding. Bots are written in C++ and Java, have no limits on APM or gosu AI concepts.
SSCAIT 2015
2011 the Student StarCraft AI Tournament started, and has since grown into the biggest annual tournament for Starcraft bots. With over 40 bots competing 24/7 on the tournament server, all year is spent in preparation of the tournament proper, which starts in December.
Participating
If you want to watch, watch here. If you want to learn about bots go here (Java), if you want to compete sign up here. There is also the support forum here and #bwapi @ irc.freenode.net.
Weekly-ish broadcasts
To demonstrate what SSCAIT is all about there are, of course, introductory videos and the commentated finals of previous years on the youtube channel, but to keep the community up to date we'll periodically release videos with the latest developments in BWAI, new bots, AI concepts implemented and glorious bot battles.

This week's matchups! We've got a lot of tscmoo, who has been working on his terran and zerg matchups. Also starring are Tomas Cere's protoss bot, and the golden oldie Killerbot!

It's not planned yet. There are couple of reasons for this - in addition to technical problems, absence of LAN, HW requirements and a fact that many AI coders consider BW a better game, there's SC2 EULA that doesn't allow us to create an API and guys from Blizzard, who are understandably against it (botting might hurt the Bnet experience of human players). Maybe later, when they stop making money out of SC2, it will be different.

New video! This time no tscmoo -or maybe just one :p Watch the Tomas Duo do their protoss thing, 2 games featuring SSCAIT2014 winner LetaBot with some hot moves and golden oldies Killerbot + Jakub 'cannon-me-up-Scottie' Trancik.

Once I polish the latest version of LetaBot, I shall upload it to the ladder. The version currently playing is horribly out of date  .

A Gaoyuan Chen and tscmoo special is online now. Although the former has taken a new direction in his strategy recently, the methods applied in this video are testament to his (and someone else's) skill. tscmoo has done a lot of work too, watch it and be amazed:

Today and tomorrow we'll be having a Big Game Hunters day! Favour the big money! Will all the bots adapt to a new environment? Come and watch on our website!
|
Our casting woes are (hopefullyknocknockonwood) over, and we're back with a new video! We've got a new entry, a new Zerg by the name of GarmBot, and games by ICEBot, krasi0bot, tscmoo terran AND zerg, come and watch!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0JxvUUg-Yk
Expect more videos as the new casting computer doesn't fail and the summer holidays wear on ^^

nice
One thing though, why are portions of the minimap covered? Are you using window mode?
|
That was, a hereby failed, experiment with an overlay :p Thank you very much for your comment, as always all comments welcome on casting, choice of games, production of video, anything
