Yet Another Build Order Tester (YABOT)

Introduction

This project is series of standard 1v1 Blizzard maps adapted to include a sophisticated build order testing system. The goal is to execute the chosen build while keeping up worker production and creating the largest army possible. The AI will execute a given build order or execute a random one. At the end of the round, you are given a score which tells how well you executed the build. Also included is a "Freestyle" mode, which monitors your play and displays the build order that you performed.

After playing a freestyle, you can open your bank (save) file at My Documents/Starcraft II/Banks/YabotSettings.SC2Bank in a text editor to see the encoded build as a single line of text. This text can then be decoded and edited at sc2builds.com

Known Issues

• UI race style is set by the random starting race and cannot be changed when switching race... no known fix yet.
• For construction of buildings or training of units, the build object is completed when the unit actually starts production rather than when it is queued. There may be a work-around in future versions.
• When a build objective is an upgrade, the recorded minerals and gas are after the upgrade was clicked.
• AI location is fixed until the map is completely reloaded
