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-R...

What is the situation today with SC/BW/SC2 on linux?

I dont have Windows. Dont have the CDs. Dont have a discrete GPU on my laptop. Is there anything available for plain linux?

works fine with wine, I replayed through the campaigns recently with the HD version

Just in time for this month's Starcraft LAN party...

Where do I find one of these Starcraft LAN parties?

Dangggg. I've just started getting back into Starcraft hard with the remastered release. Such a great game, so many great memories!

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.

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

I enjoyed it

what about it upset you?
