Knowledge is Power

I can’t recall how many hours I played StarCraft… it must be in the thousands….

That’s why I was appealed by this new competition:

With my interest for StarCraft and my AI background, I wanted to participate… but knowing how much spare time I have, I decided against it   However, I started committing code for the Brood War API (http://code.google.com/p/bwapi/) which is used for the competition and I’m having quite some fun.  Taking small issues and fixing them, I can spend as little time as I want and I don’t have to commit to release an AI in a few months!

If you’re in the Montreal area and would like some help with your bot, feel free to ask, I’d be glad to participate, as long as I don’t have too much to do, cause I don’t have much time to spend on such project!  I have quite a few ideas of neat things to implement, but on my own I simply won’t have time to achieve awesome results.
