Brood War API
A free and open-source C++ framework for creating AI agents that play StarCraft: Brood War.
What is Brood War API?
BWAPI (Brood War API) is a free and open-source C++ framework that allows developers to create artificial intelligence agents for the real-time strategy game StarCraft: Brood War. It provides programmatic access to game state and unit control, enabling the development of competitive AIs that operate under partial information conditions. The framework serves as a platform for AI research, bot development, and replay analysis in a commercial RTS environment.
Students, researchers, and hobbyists interested in game AI, real-time strategy bot development, or studying AI algorithms in a complex, partial-information environment.
BWAPI offers a unique, commercially robust RTS environment for AI experimentation with built-in support for competitive tournaments and replay analysis. Its default partial-information simulation creates realistic challenges for AI development, distinguishing it from simpler game AI frameworks.
