Steamhammer 2.0 download

Here is the Steamhammer 2.0 download link. It’s the same zip file I submitted for AIIDE 2018, so unlike an SSCAIT upload it doesn’t include BWAPI.

Steamhammer 2.0 download with source and binary.

It is meant to play zerg only. The configuration file contains nothing for terran or protoss.

You can fill in openings yourself and it will play, but my testing shows unacceptable bugs for both terran and protoss. For example, vultures often get stuck on targets as if married to them, unable to switch away until one or the other dies (this bug allows no divorce for any cause). In zealots versus zerglings, the zealots like to move back and forth and give the zerglings free hits. “It’s only fair, we’re so much taller and stronger.”

Steamhammer 2.1 will come out when the bot again plays all races acceptably. I’m not sure how long it will take. After the big effort for AIIDE, my energy is low and I need a break. I haven’t even updated Steamhammer’s web page yet.

Hey Jay,

The CIG 2018 detailed results are in. Looking forward to your analysis like you did for CIG 2017:

The update to my bot was mainly stability, hence the 0 crashes. Not much new compared to SSCAI 2017.
