UPDATE:
While BWAI Gold was a great program, the new BWAILauncher developed by poiuy_qwert far exceeds all previous AI launchers we've built and contains virtually everything our members have built over the course of the BWAIProject history. This new program allows for far greater variety than the previous limited randomness of Racine's Rebels and EntropyII .exes by allowing YOU the user to compile your own combination to suit your playing style. Or perhaps let the "Entropyze" button choose for you!
* Can be played on any map as usual + any SC version.
* Standalone program will auto launch SCraft
* Several categories to choose from:
EntropyAI = our best non-cheating scripts
Racine's Rebels = our best pro scripts
BWAIWar = our best AI vs. AI scripts
Xtreme = our best Wackydoodle scripts

Hello again. We'd like to introduce a long past due update for what amounts to the final version for BWAI.
For those unfamiliar with the mod, BWAI is a modified computer AI utilizing new build order instructions. You can read more HERE @ EntropyZero.org.

BWAI Gold Final

* BWAI Gold supports any Scraft version including Multiplayer Bnet!
* Standalone program. There are no installation files to deal with.
* Supports any map including your own!
The mod includes 2 versions that showcase our best Starcraft AI scripts over the project's history. Both versions randomly select from a database of scripts. More randomness = more replayability = more fun!
Racine's Rebels features our best insane AI's. The scripts vary in difficulty and no two will be alike. Be warned however! Some games may be borderline impossible, especially for those new to the experience. Most players will have a difficult time with a single computer opponent, but TL.net seasoned veterans and nut cases might try 1v2 for total chaos.
Entropy II is a non-cheating opponent which some may already have seen at ICCUP. The computer receives no extra money whatsoever and this version is intended for the casual Scraft gamer as well as newcomers. Definitely won’t be much of a challenge for the Tl.net player.
The following scripts have earned a place in BWAI Gold:
Adun, Ahzz, Ashara, Avance70, EasyChat, IskatuMesk, Peppe, Racine, Rama, Raynor, QOB, Zbath II, Zelduck, and finally ZONS.
~Thnx to all that have supported this mod.

Final words and additional no-brainer info:
+ Show Spoiler +
AI scripting is entry level modding and its simplistic nature is what makes it so accessible. These scripts were created by everyday Starcraft players with little or possibly no programming experience whatsoever. They simply wanted to have fun rearranging the computer's build orders. So don't expect some mind-boggling computer to "out think" you or present some in depth gaming experience. It isn't going to happen. The SC computer sometimes has a mind of its own and occasionally it has a dud game. If you avoid anti-computer exploits such as peon harass, or other obnoxious strats such as cannon rushes, or proxy builds then the computer will offer a fun challenge.
Tho this is the last update for BWAI in terms of scripting, all is not dead! A small team of programmers lead by Kovarex is working on a project called BWAPI. Unlike scripting, the BWAPI project functions outside the realm of the hardcoded internal Ai engine and will change the way SCraft computers operate. Nothing comes easy, and this is anything but your typical Starcraft "modding" project. If completed, it will deliver the next generation of BWAI and is guaranteed to blow the Starcraft Community away! … so stay tuned!
