.NET wrapper for the Broodwar API (BWAPI) written in C++/CLI
Currently wraps BWAPI 4.1.2
This project is a C++/CLI wrapper for the Broodwar API. This project is also aimed to provide APIs that are higher level or more suited to F#/C# style than original BWAPI.
WARNING: API will change during development. It is recommended that maintain your own copy be prepared to manually merge any changes you specifically desire.
Project is in alpha stage, but library can run dll AI modules. Project is built with Visual Studio 2013, using BWAPI libraries directly.
It is highly recommended that you have experience in setting up a BWAPI bot before dealing with this library. For now we do not provide any binaries so you'll have to build it by yourself.
To use AI you have to place Broodwar.dll, BroodwarLoader.dll and BroodwarLoader.dll.config and your AI module into same folder. BWAPI config must point to BroodwarLoader.dll as AI module. Edit .config file. The Assembly key must point to your AI assembly (with extension), and the Module key must point to your class that implements AiBase. ExampleAIModule ported to C# and to F# is also provided.
Previous BWAPI-CLI for version 3.7.3 was created by ZeroFusion at http://bwapicli.codeplex.com/
This project a port from VS 2010 + BWAPI 3.7.3 to VS 2013 + BWAPI 4.1.2 of an Alpha project by someone with minimal C++ experience and no BWAPI experience.
Everything appears to be working, though unit filter based functions has not been tested. These required changes to the supplied BWAPI headers to make the project compile. For example:
// Does not compile - IntelliSense: argument of type "decltype(nullptr)" is incompatible with parameter of type "const decltype(nullptr) &"
Unitset getUnitsOnTile(BWAPI::TilePosition tile, const UnitFilter &pred = nullptr) const;
// Now compiles Unitset getUnitsOnTile(BWAPI::TilePosition tile, const UnitFilter &pred = __nullptr) const;
