I've been quietly adding Brood War support to a site I built for SC2, and the BW side is now functional enough to share — but it is genuinely very beta. There will be bugs. Things will break. The reason I'm posting now rather than after another month of polish is to get feedback.
Three things to look at:
1. Watch replays in your browser or on-the-go on mobile
Drop a .rep file on the page and it parses and plays back in-browser. Minimap with unit positions, both players' build orders side-by-side, scrubbable timeline. No plugin, no client install, no BWAPI setup. Watch high level games whenever you want.
2. Always fresh high level replays
The site continuously pulls fresh replays above a 2250 MMR threshold and indexes them. You can filter the feed by matchup, player, date, and map, and click into any of them straight into the viewer.
3. Build orders parsed and clustered into archetypes
Every replay in the db gets its build order extracted, and then the openings are run through a clustering pipeline that groups similar sequences into archetypes per matchup (think "2 hatch muta", "1 base goon timing", "FE into carriers", etc. — but discovered from the data, not hand-labelled). You can browse the archetypes for each matchup, see how prevalent each one is, and drill into the exemplar games behind each cluster.
Bugs and feedback
It's beta. Expect at minimum:
- Replays that parse weirdly or fail outright
- Archetype clusters that look obviously wrong, over-split, or under-split
- Unit positions on the minimap that aren't quite right
- Edge cases around UMS maps, mods, or unusual replay versions
If you hit any of these, please reply here or use the in-site bug report. The more concrete the better — a specific replay file plus "I expected X, got Y" is gold.
About SC2...
The site started as an SC2 tool — decision trees per matchup, replay viewer, AI coach, build database — and the BW side is built on the same infrastructure. If you also play SC2 it's all in there too, and that side is further along.
