Steps:
- Clone or download this repository (I keep it in c:\p\pw but it should work from anywhere)
- If you cloned the repository
git submodule sync; git submodule update --init --recursiveto clone JBWAPI - Open IntelliJ IDEA
- In IntelliJ IDEA: File -> Settings -> Plugins -> Check off Scala
- In IntelliJ IDEA: File -> Open -> Select the PurpleWave directory
- In IntelliJ IDEA: File -> Project Structure -> Select the Java Development Kit directory (like c:\Program Files\Java\jdk\1.8.0_121)
- In IntelliJ IDEA: File -> Project Structure -> Modules -> The green "+" -> Scala -> Create... -> Download... -> 2.12.6... -> OK
- In IntelliJ IDEA: File -> Project Structure -> Modules -> Dependencies -> Under "Export" check scala-sdk-2.12.6
- In IntelliJ IDEA: Build -> Build Artifacts... -> Build
This will produce PurpleWave.jar. See below for "How to run PurpleWave"
- From IntelliJ IDEA: Run -> Run 'PurpleWave' or Debug 'PurpleWave'
- As a JAR:
cdto the StarCraft directorymkdir -p bwapi-data/AI; mkdir -p bwapi-data/read; mkdir -p bwapi-data/writeto create the standard directories for BWAPI bot data- Copy PurpleWave.jar to
bwapi-data/AI java.exe -jar bwapi-data/AI/PurpleWave.jar<-- Run this from the StarCraft directory
