Apparently they have, there's already a thread about this. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/starcraft-2/505728-google-vs-sc2 Although reading the linked article it's not clear if they are talking about SC:BW or SC2. http://uk.businessinsider.com/google-deepmind-could-play-starcraft-2016-3?r=US&IR=T | ||

Their other AIs would work with just visual input, it is not like they would need access to the game state. | ||

Its technically botting, and I think blizzard could sue a large conpany if they are developing illegal tools - thats why permission. Im pretty sure an advanced Ai would crush any human player in starcraft. Just look at those micro bots. Add perfect macro to that and they would need one build order to win 100% of games. The advantage ai will always have In any game is 100% memory, beeing able to calculate multiple outcomes and perfect multitasking. | ||

Here is an example of what it could accomplish and some. but isnt that cheating, like we arent supposed to know what the siege tanks are targeting?? why would the AI know which ling is being targeted. its not like a seeker missle where it shows up alerting you. its different then like when a unit is taking damage u then micro it away. Tank shot comes without you really knowing where its gonna hit, maybe the AI could guess, but if your controlling ur tanks u can click on something else no? | ||

In theory you do know which one they're going to be attacking. As a player you will know which unit will be auto-targeted first, it is just a part of the behavior of units. It isn't random. I don't think this bot knows which one they are targetting by scanning game activity files. This bot knows which one they are attacking, because yes you can determine that based on tank behavior. Professional players play around this (or should) all the time. This video is an even better example (than the marine splitting one) of why AI would totally crush any StarCraft pro given some time to learn. I've seen some suggestions on limiting the APM and amount of clicks to be similar to mouse/keyboard input. I don't think that really matters in the end. I doubt the zergling vs. tank video has a high amount of apm involved. Even if it did you can pretty much get 90% of efficiency with just picking out individual zerglings that are going to be targeted, while the rest of your army is on a-move. It's pretty much just clicking accuracy that you can do with relatively low apms. | ||

So I guss an AI without any restraint could easily win against any human in SC(l2). 40000 APM? Why not. Perfect macro, perfect micro and millions of games to find out the best reaction possible. First constraint must be APM and Data Input. AI should only see the screen (Pixels), and interact through mouse/kb input. There will be a serious task of "recognition" alone. Easiest way: Make a robot play the game. And I dont see a robot handel sc(2) | ||

I'm pretty sure you can make an absolutely crushing AI with relatively low apm (200 or so should be enough). No need to assume this AI is going to need 50k apm for the above. It will help of course it will be able to do even more, but the gains are pretty marginal since speed is one of the least important factors when you can account for the above listed points. Limiting the apm isn't going to do much. | ||

At least it'd be awesome the first time, and it wouldn't be awesome because of the AI but because it's such an infuriating, unsolvable way to lose. "unsolvable", you mean no human being can rush a probe tight wall? | ||

I see the problem in access on "game state" = 100% possible data in handy format and "screen/pixeldata only" And AI with access to game state can have possible 100% flawless multitask wich will win you most Sc2 games. If you never miss a beat, really never, then you can afford to send units out to scout everything at any time. Build 99% Depots around the map and always cancel on last sec would give you so much information. Or have 3 Reapers/lings around that give you vision on any angle of attack (on perfect micro those can always escape !). Players might not do that because they need XX minerals for BO but a computer could just scratch those XX mins from perfect Worker-Timings perfect mineral mining and so on. I think of it as a possible 10 player Archon with mind-synchronisation. A 10-Player Archon woul always have 100% of information possible and most of all "awareness", not only minimap-vision | ||

It's pretty much just clicking accuracy that you can do with relatively low apms. really? always box-clicking the zerglings surrounding the targeted zergling and individually pulling them away and that multiple times at once. I'm pretty sure the APM are insane in that scenario. | ||

I'm pretty sure the APM are insane in that scenario. I mean sure it isn't a walk in the park, but for a computer with perfect accuracy I don't think it needs to be abnormally high to get a high reward. You can continue to make it better to pretty much unlimited apm, though. Essentially pulling away zerglings and selecting single zerglings with perfect accuracy should be doable while keeping the numbers low. | ||
