This post is about the Starcraft bot I am developing using machine learning. The project is being developed as part of the "Daj Się Poznać 2017" competition.

This whole week I was wondering what path to take for my bot project. I wanted to use Deeplearning4j, but this library conflicts with BWMirror, which requires Java 32-Bit. An alternative is to rewrite the entire project from BWMirror to JNIBWAPI. The second alternative is to rewrite the project to C++, which I am not very interested in because I don't feel good in this language. I mean, not in Java either, but writing in Java is easier to learn. However, I finally decided to take up TorchCraft. Of course, I lose the opportunity to participate in SSCAIT, but I think it will be better to finally do something related to reinforcement learning using a ready-made environment. If I had to do the same in Java, it would take me a lot of time.

I spent this week polishing up my Starcraft bot. I didn't want to take up reinforcement learning yet because I preferred to spend my time learning about BWAPI. The code can be viewed here in my repository dloranc/five-pool-bot.

Since the last post about the project, I've been working on the bot for quite some time, trying to write something that performs some simple strategy. After installing BWAPI, the bot starts and plays with the standard bot included in the game. As I had known the default bot and its weaknesses for years, I decided that my bot would perform a simple strategy called 5 pool with some modifications.
