  Where do I find one of these Starcraft LAN parties?

This is an interesting read! Does this scale to League or other games, especially ones that have strong EAC protection?

  This is really just a tutorial on using an FFI to call out to BWAPI. You would need to have an equivalent API to BWAPI, or write it yourself, if you wanted to interface with other games.

Awesome work. Of all the Blizzard titles, Brood War has a special place in me. The LAN party spring/summer of '99. We even had our ritual of getting our 'StarCraft water' and going to the bathroom beforehand so there were no interruptions during the series of matches. Edit: Also, will this work with StarCraft: Remastered?

  Looks like people have instructions for using BWAPI with remastered, so probably. https://github.com/suegy/bwapi-mono-bridge2/wiki/StarCraft-Remastered-Setup-BWAPI https://github.com/suegy/bwapi-mono-bridge2/wiki/StarCraft-R...

If you're interested in this, there's a 24/7 twitch stream of Starcraft AI competing against each other that you may also want to check out or participate in. https://www.twitch.tv/sscait https://www.twitch.tv/sscait

On a related note, turns out the orinigal Starcraft was turned into a free download back in 2017
