Setup Instructions:

Windows / C++

StartCraft comes with a StarterBot written in C++ using BWAPI 4.4.0. This repo comes with BWAPI, and uses Injectory to launch Starcraft with BWAPI, so Chaoslauncher is not required.

1. Download / Clone this repo to your computer
2. Download and unzip Starcraft Broodwar 1.16.1 to the included windows/starcraft folder
3. Run windows/RunC++BotAndStarcraft.bat which will launch the bot executable and Starcraft / BWAPI
4. Open windows/c++/visualstudio/StartCraft.sln in Visual Studio 2019 to modify / recompile the code

Note: Visual Studio 2019 MUST be updated to the most recent version to be able to link against the included BWAPI libraries
