Welcome to the tutorial for Java bots for StarCraft:Broodwar using JBWAPI

This tutorial is only meant to explore the JBWAPI API as fully as possible, not to build the best bot possible, you would and should probably approach your own creation differently!

In this tutorial we will learn to:

• Setup the environment
• Gather our first minerals
• Train our first units
• Build our first buildings
• Expand on the map
• Scout the enemy player(s)
• Attack the enemy player(s)

From there on we will continue onto more advanced topics such as:

• Openings to generate and follow (aka buildorders)
• Upgrade&Tech to unlock new units or abilities
• Micro specific army units
• Simulate Combat using ASS to find out if you should attack or retreat

Finally we can package, test and deploy our bot on the ladder by:

• Packaging using your package manager
• Test your bot using Droplauncher and sc-docker
• Uploading to SSCAIT
