StarCraft AI Competition Submission

The submission process for bots is now open. Participants must submit a bot by September 15th.  Bots submitted before this deadline can be replaced by more recent versions, up to the deadline. Bots can be submitted to bgweber@gmail.com with the following heading: StarCraft Submission botname 

The competition will utilize an automated system for running the tournaments. Therefore, all submissions must follow these guidelines. An overview of the directory structure is shown in the figure below.

The submission must include a readme.txt file with the following attributes.

  • Bot name (max 12 alpha numberic characters)
  • Affiliation
  • Team members
  • BWAPI Version (Must be listed here: http://code.google.com/p/bwapi/downloads/list)
  • Required Software (and links)
  • Description of bot
  • Website (optional)
  • Tournaments
  • Race (if participating in tournament 4)
  • Setup Instructions (if any additional steps are required)

For each tournament, a separate directory should be included. Within each tournament directory, a bwapi folder should be included that contains an ExampleAIModule.dll file. If a remote process is also required, then an additional directory should be provided called remote, which provides all of the runtime files needed to execute the remote process. Additionally, if a remote process is used, a run.bat file must be included that launches the external process.

An example submission is provided here.
