StarCraft AI Competitions #5

Hi there! do you think is possible to use this Rust BWAPI wrapper to build a competitive bot and join one of the annual bot tournaments and ladders?

It appears to me that wrappers for different languages like your project have no problem playing the game but competition rules are currently only focus on Windows 32bit C++ and Java bots.

As authors of an open-source BWAPI wrapper project what have been your experience? is enable competition with Rust one of the project goals?

As for me I wanted to play with Rust on a real project.

It is possible however we are missing BWTA wrapper.

From my adventures I notice that bot authors and groups are abandoning BWTA in favor of BWEM http://bwem.sourceforge.net/ and that use the map information that it gets from BWAPI.

What I'm trying to say is that a working BWAPI wrapper is all you need and you already have one!
