Setup

To setup the environment to write our bots we will need:

Windows

Developing on Linux/MacOS/other just isn't as easy at the moment. If you do not have a Windows machine you could use a Virtual Machine or install Windows along side Linux/MacOS/other.

StarCraft:Broodwar 1.16.1

At the moment Remastered is not yet supported, the only working version is 1.16.1. But you can run v1.16.1 alongside Remastered without needing to uninstall Remastered.

For this tutorial from now on, when refered to StarCraft it will mean StarCraft:Broodwar v1.16.1

If you do not own StarCraft you can download it by following the simple instructions on iccup or download it for free from BattleNet and and manually downgrade it to v1.16.
