- StarCraft II (Windows) (Linux)
- StarCraft II Map Packs
Install StarCraft II and extract the contents of the Ladder 2017 Season 1 map pack into the Maps directory in the install location of StarCraft II. If it doesn't exist, create it. On Windows, by default it is C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft II\Maps.
Download and install Visual Studio 2019 if you need it. Building with Visual Studio 2019 not yet supported.
:: Clone the project
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/zarifmahfuz/SmartSC2Bot.git
$ cd SmartSC2Bot
:: Create build directory.
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
:: Generate VS solution.
$ cmake ../ -G "Visual Studio 16 2019"The solution file that is generated in the build directory can be opened with Visual Studio. From there, the project can be compiled.
Note: Try opening the SC2 game client before installing. If the game crashes before opening, you may need to change your Share name:
- Open
System Preferences - Click on
Sharing - In the
Computer Nametextfield, change the default 'Macbook Pro' to a single word name (the exact name shouldn't matter, as long as its not the default name)

$ makeFor both Windows and Mac, an executable Bot should be generated in the build/bin directory.
To run the bot, run build/bin/Bot and pass the command-line arguments that the LadderInterface expects.
For example, the following command runs the bot against a Hard-difficulty Zerg computer opponent on Cactus Valley.
$ build/bin/Bot -c -a zerg -d Hard -m CactusValleyLE.SC2Map
This will run StarCraft II from its default installation directory, and look for CactusValleyLE.SC2Map in a subdirectory of it called "Maps".
To see a full list of command-line arguments run the following command.
$ build/bin/Bot --help
