This is great!

Is the time listed real world seconds or in-game seconds (on the 'Faster' setting)?

I've ran it a few times and the best time for 3 DTs completed warp in is 359.25 seconds. Anyone have anything faster?

^ I got the same thing, DaBears57. Build was slightly different but time was same.

It's in-game seconds (ie, should match the timer at bottom left).

Great program, I've got a lot of builds to try out ^_^. But there are some features that I would like to see implemented:
- A quota system like others have previously mentioned where you can specify that you want 1 stalker and 1 zealot by 300 seconds while simultaneously achieving the other defined goal.
- A total tally of units/structures/upgrades produced to allow for easy comparison between builds. For example, a table or something that lists how many probes were produced, how many gateways, if warp gate was acquired etc.
- Incorporation of upgrades, like storm and forge. It would be nice to plan some fast +1 weapons upgrade for PvZ.
- Incorporation of buildings/upgrades wanted. For example, it would be nice to use this program to find the absolute fasted time for a Korean 4 warp gate rush but in this current version if you want 4 zealots, the program will only use 1 or 2 gateways and not use warp gate tech.

All in all, great job so far, I can't wait for future versions!

There's at least a 20 second difference from the time the program gives you and the time you can actually achieve these things in-game. I guess it's because it takes time to get the probes to the minerals at the beginning, time for a probe to move to a spot (where it's not mining), move back, time for the warp-in animation to complete, etc, which all adds up.

So there's likely going to be no Protoss equivalent of a 7RR being discovered with this thing. There's really nothing more efficient than the 4gate for gateway units. The program says ~6:00 for 3 DTs, add 20-25 seconds to that for practical results and you're not far off the 3 DT rush on Liquipedia which says 6:38, plus that build doesn't cut probes.

My program already handles the last two of those. It calculates a travel time of 10s for most buildings, and it allows 5s warp-in time for warpgates. But you're right, the mining rates probably are more of an 'optimal' calculation than a practical one. I should be able to adjust for that though (ie, add a 2s delay before the start of mining, and possibly adjust the income rate calculation so it's a bit more 'real world').

So there's likely going to be no Protoss equivalent of a 7RR being discovered with this thing. There's really nothing more efficient than the 4gate for gateway units. The program says ~6:00 for 3 DTs, add 20-25 seconds to that for practical results and you're not far off the 3 DT rush on Liquipedia which says 6:38, plus that build doesn't cut probes.


It's not necessarily what you use to build things, more about the order in which you build them, and when cutting probes will give you a useful edge (you could compare this by asking the algorithm to get 22 probes as well as the units you want). I'm not expecting anything ground breaking to be found, but it might help people with sorting out what is the best way to implement a timing attack for instance.

One feature I plan to add is for it to value income rate in the fitness function (and you could choose whether you want to include minerals or gas or both), which I think will be more useful than just saying to 'maximise probes' or something.

Once you add in a lot more selection criteria and smooth out the output (and take into account other things which will delay the times by around the amount I mentioned), it will definitely be useful for whipping up a usable build order on the spot.

I wouldn't be so sure, I put 7 stalkers in and got a build that is only 34 seconds slower than 7RR.

Really needs waypoints... Protoss doesnt play like zerg, you don't build probes until the last second and then get units... its gradual on both sides

Any chance you could have upgrades as well as buildings factored in? I mean, like available as an option. For example, I want to make a +1 Attack Stalker timing push. Is there a way you could make it do that, or add it in as a feature?

Please PLEASE add warpgate tech to this. In fact, add any tech to this. Warpgate is most important, because who cares if you can 5 minute mothership if you have zero units.

Have you tried the build in-game?

This is pretty minor, but right now if the optimal build builds a unit at a gateway (for example) and chrono boosts it, they as CHRONO GATEWAY and then BUILD ZEALOT. Flipping these two around increases the readability of the build order.
Always keep score.

Nice tool, thx a lot and keep up the good work. Can't wait to be able to pick buildings (gateway x3, twilight council, etc.) and upgrade (warpgate, thermal lance, etc.)

CarbonTwelve, I'm wondering, why do you store the events in a sorted linked list rather than in a heap?

A sorted linked list gives O(1)-time removal of the first event, but O(n)-time insertion of a new event and updating the time of an event. A heap would give O(log n) time for all three operations.

Have you found that removals are so much more frequent and n so small that the linked list is superior?
