Horizon

Horizon is a free to use combat simulator for Broodwar AI. Horizon simulates combat using a short time horizon based on where an engagement will take place. Horizon returns a struct containing 4 separate float values it simulates and a bool which is a suggestion to synchronize your decisions with your air and ground units.

Adding Units

Horizon::updateUnit(BWAPI::Unit, BWAPI::Unit)

• Provide a BWAPI::Unit plus if this is your unit, you must provide an assigned enemy BWAPI::Unit as a target.
• Call this every frame on all existing units.

Removing Units

Horizon::removeUnit(BWAPI::Unit)

• Provide a BWAPI::Unit to remove.

Simulating Units

Horizon::getSimValue(BWAPI::Unit, float)

• Provide a BWAPI::Unit to simulate and amount of time in seconds.
• Returns a struct containing all the simulated values.

Modifying Horizon

There's a few customizations that you could add to Horizon to make it a bit better for your own usage.

• Pathfinding for ground units to find more accurate ground distance measurements to have more accurate results.
• Value based outcomes to provide a more characteristically humanlike approach to combat, such as trading while ahead or sniping important units.
