It obviously is. You probably haven't played Zerg long enough to discover how terribly annoying this is...

Also, Starcraft runs at 8 frames per second on Normal game speed, and 50% faster on fastest, which is 12 frames per second.

I'm pretty sure it is about 23.8 gameframes/s on fastest.
The rendered framerate can be in the thousands, but as units are not interpolated between gameframes, this does not matter much.
The animation framerate might be half that, which would match your framerate with the observation that each animation frame stayed for two frames in the OP.

when the larvae is morphing into an egg and you get the 5 animation frames, is it still considered a larvae, or is it an egg already?

-The percentage of health that the egg had before entering these next frames will be converted into the percentage of health for the new unit. (Ex: egg at 75/200 health can hatch into an ultralisk with 150/400 health within these next few frames). This rule applies for any unit morphing into or out of an egg.

Sorry if I misunderstood this part, of if I'm simply wrong. But:
Wounded hydras morphing in to lurkers will give you wounded eggs. But lurkers will come out will full health.

So the rule does not apply for all units.

Health is rounded to 1/256. The unit maximum health values in the game files are stored as 256 times the health displayed in game and you can see in game that mutalisks deal 1/9 of their main damage with the last attack bounce with pretty good accuracy, instead of just rounding to the nearest 1/2(after they have attack upgrades, of course, since 1/9 out of 9 is simply 1).

This concerns only the first 14 frames after hatching. On the next frame the unit gets it's health restored regardless of the health the egg had.

So damaged eggs =/= damaged units? I didn't know that. Bah, I play terran anyway, but it's good to know, now I won't bother trying to damage eggs anymore wasting time.

Interesting, although I can't really see any applications of it to the game. It's still really interesting to read about though.

Ahahha, this is great. SC University papers!

Here's looking forward to more papers from this class. Please post them if you are attending :D


Mutalisks morphing OUT of guardians that die have the normal mutalisk death animation.
Mutalisks morphing OUT of devourers that die have no death animation (disappear).


Nothing major, but I think this needs to be reworded (guardians morph out of their cocoons, Mutalisks only morph out of eggs).

in ZvZ this knowledge is very usefull, if you attack an egg with 6 lings when the lings pop out, you have a good chance to kill 2 lings instead of 1.

you need to bring the egg down to 170/200 then the popping ling(s) have 30 health and each ling just needs to make 1 hit (6*5) to kill 2 lings.
