A bridge between Torch and StarCraft.

A general overview of the system (and motivations for using TorchCraft) can be found in:

Synnaeve, G., Nardelli, N., Auvolat, A., Chintala, S., Lacroix, T., Lin, Z., Richoux, F. and Usunier, N., 2016. TorchCraft: a Library for Machine Learning Research on Real-Time Strategy Games - arXiv:1611.00625.

See examples/ for a list of scripts that you can try. The simplest examples come in two flavors: DLL based and server-client based.

1. Open bwapi.ini and set ai = PATH\TO\BWENV.dll (or copy ours from config/bwapi.in)
2. Start ChaosLauncher, enable BWAPI DLL Injector [Release].
3. Press Start.

1. Run

$ cd examples
$ th simple_dll.lua

1. Start BWEnv.exe.

2. Run

$ cd examples
$ th simple_exe.lua
