For anyone who thinks this looks fun but isn't a huge fan of C++ or Java, I made a Clojure API that wraps the Java version. https://github.com/thieman/korhal Previous HN discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7050325

This is great, thanks! The fact that it's possible to get started in Clojure, I no longer have any excuses to not try this.
Having an interactive REPL seems like it would be helpful for iterating on micro routines (this is what I want to focus on). I see you already have some situational micro examples too.
I feel like a kid again. Can't wait to try this! Now I'm wishing I still had my StarCraft discs with me.

It has REPL support built in. :) https://github.com/thieman/korhal/wiki/Using-the-REPL

Yeah, I saw that. :) This is impressive. I wish I knew about this project sooner. I didn't see this project on the Clojure subreddit, so I shared it there in case others haven't seen it before either.
I see the issue you created about separating the Clojure API from the AI code. I think I'd have to do that because I'll be creating an AI from scratch.
I noticed in the thread you linked to that you mentioned Java packaging and possibilities for contributions. I might be able to help there. Let me know, or if you want to create some GitHub issues, I can take a look later and see which ones I can take.

If you (or your bot) play on the private server ICCUP, you don't need the disks. Just download the ICCUP version from:
