There is a DeCal on the topic of
Game Theory, with Applications to Starcraft
that's going to be offered through Haas. It's a 2-unit class on Thursday nights at 7-9pm in Haas C230. It's going to be a great class, covering the basics of Starcraft, but also with many advanced topics like trends in population dynamics, the "fractal" effect, and other calculations. As a special treat, ToT)Yosh( will be delivering lectures and will be there in person to improve your play.
If anyone is interested, email me at integral.king at gmail dot com, or check out the facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=56436429104&ref=mf
the first class will be Thurs January 29th
Labs are Sat 12pm - 5pm in the bottom floor of Moffitt Library.
edit: Moffitt Library needs a Student ID to get into. However, it should be easy to sneak people in. The Saturday labs will be on AirBears, the best router in the world, and we should have a decent pool of ID's and passwords to get people going.

This is pretty awesome, you lucky Berkeley people!

Hey Nimue! It was nice playing you at the LAN B4 Time III... I can't make any of the Thursdays, but what are the main differences between the Saturday labs and Thursday classes?

Oh, this is Berkeley students only? Ah well my brother and his friends can go.

The Thursday classes will be pure theory and calculations, or other important trends, analysis or higher level thinking.
Saturday labs are almost purely practical, based on practice, good macro and judicious application of the Reader. In other words, we'll be playing each other; (Read: FIVE HOUR LAN PARTY EVERY WEEK)
edit:
anyone can show up, we'd be happy to have as many people as C230 can hold (120). However, only Berkeley students can actually get units for this class.

Oh alright, cool! I can't make any of the Thursdays then, but I'll surely show up to the labs / LANs somewhat regularly when I'm free. Great job in making this class btw ;D
|

The reader is a series of nine essays on Resource Conversion, Army Positioning, and Scouting, Also interspersed are selections from the Art of War by Sun Tzu. It is mostly what is referred to as "Theorycrafting" but is even more general than that; it offers ideas on the pure theory of War and RTS's.

I dont go to Cal so I dont know but I'm assuming Haas is a program for recreational classes offer to students?
And Yosh is teaching it?
OMFG. im so fuking jealous haha
|
Yes, indeed, Yosh will be teaching it ... well, part of it, at least. The bulk of the lectures will be mine, geared towards a new and rigorous way to approach Starcraft. But Yosh will be talking about some of the more advanced topics like harassment or mind games or what not.
|
Wow, how long has this been in the works??
GL HF.
