New Year New Start

Well as some of you may know I spent the first month and a half of this year ill and in bed and therefore didn't make much of a start on the project until recently.

However in saying that the past couple of days have seen great strides towards getting the project moving forwards as I was able to find that the Lehigh University, has on its staff Dr Héctor Muñoz-Avila who teaches a few courses on AI, and in two of these courses WARGUS is used as an example and requires students to alter the AI for an assignment.

Therefore I have spent the last couple of days reading over the course notes and was able to get a copy of the custom installer they use that's set up for the students to edit the AI and set the game types to Computer vs Computer and allows the player to watch the match.

So what this means is I now have a copy of WARGUS ready to be altered and custom AI added in, this therefore means my next steps are to start reading over Warcraft 2 strategy guides so I can assemble the initial rules base for my custom AI which will them be controlled by the Dynamic Scripting.
