Well, you know you dont actually need 15k apm to do this. Its just the apm the bot produced. The human mind makes a much more specialized solution, so you could achieve this with several thousand apm, and a less perfect, but still very good is totally possible (just watch that mvp scene in the vods, and we are at the beginning still).

What i dont understand is why we dont see this kind of dropship micro? I saw it once or twice, but not too much. Ok, not 5 dropships at the same time, but 1 or 2, it would be still unbeatable by certain units, and tanks shoot hard even unsieged, same for immortals and colos.

I just watched it for the first time, and... I really have to focus on my zergling micro

na but seriously, coll stuff, keep it coming and if you ever need some more ideas:

Reaper vs Roaches (4.5 range vs 4range)
phoenix vs mutalisk/infestor
blink stalker vs a big fat splash unit like colossi or Ultras
burrow roaches (single burrow micro)
and maybe update marines vs banelings with the banelings splitting perfectly too

It makes me laugh at what low standards this community has. It truely shows the impassable gap between the ignorant and the elite.

"I didn't think of this first"?? Why would I limit myself to something this simple? The SC2 Hacking scene has been pushing the boundaries of bots and ai's since the beginning of the beta. Heard of the Green Tea ai?

"OP had the ability"?? Give a code monkey a book on implementing a state machine and/or fuzzy logic and it can code this within a day. ANYONE can do it.

"Make a cool AI"?? You underestimate me. The caliber of the projects I work on are many times greater than this. If we release these publicly, it'll be exploited by the masses. Proof? Become one of the elites and you maybe able to join our cabal, a true gathering of minds.

I'll leave you with these 2 videos. A taste of our progress from 3 months ago. I have said what I felt needed to be said, and now I shall say no more.
Video 1
Video 2

All you have proven is that you have less skill than the OP. Thanks for the verification.

I do not mean to burst your bubble. But what this guy has done is way more advanced than the one posted in the OP.

Because this is a program that reads the screen, then makes actions based on scenarios that it interprets by itself.

The OPs bot is one that uses the AI scripting, as in it works within the bubble of the application. Therefore everything that the bot needs to know is redily available to it.

This bot actually reads picture data off of a screen and makes mouse movements and keystrokes.

In otherwords. This bot could be used in ladder, where the OPs could not.

Although the OPs bot is pulling off much more advanced micro, this guys bot is doing much more advanced calculations.

I do hate the elitest attitude though.

edit: Everything I just said was already said, my bad.

I don't care how sophisticated his application is. He demonstrated a poor AI. It is a worse solution than OP's because it performed worse at its task. It doesn't matter how "advanced" it is if it sucks.

Reading the screen is an obstacle that is unnecessary and unrelated to the problem of creating a game playing AI. I don't congratulate someone that hammered a nail into some wood using a rube goldberg machine. I facepalm and say "why the hell are you doing this the hard way"?

edit: So I reread Kalafina's first post and it now seems like a clear case of not feeling recognized at his job. He see's OP's post and immediately thinks "wtf I do shit more complex then this all day long and nobody cares, bawww!" So, I kinda feel sorry for him now. That's assuming that anything he posted is true, I guess.

Why feel sorry for someone that acts like that? He could be the best programmer in the world but with that attitude he won't get any credit or fans anyway.

I'm a fan of his works. He has some skill in programming and uses it quite well.

Happy has some amazing marine micro, although it's not totally comparable to the video since Darkforce has mutas and lings as well as the banes:
