JNIBWAPI

Build a Starcraft AI in Java!

This project provides a Java interface for the Brood War API (BWAPI), using Java Native Interface (JNI) to communicate over a shared memory bridge. This allows Java developers to write AI for Starcraft, one of the most popular Real-Time Strategy games, and participate in AI competitions (see links below).
