Overseer Observer Mod. We’ve been experimenting with the StarCraft 2 Galaxy Editor at the MIT Game Lab over the summer and we’d like to share our current prototype casting tool.
The MIT Overseer project aims to provide casters with real-time graphics to help them tell the story of a game while it is in progress. We are trying out several different ways of displaying what happened in the past of a single game and anticipating what might happen in the near future. Our project isn’t meant to compete with excellent observer mods like GameHeart. Currently, it is a tech demo so that we can start getting community feedback. We’re trying to identify what subset of hacked-together features are worth keeping and refining.
Any feedback would be much appreciated, particularly if you’re involved in StarCraft 2 casting or an active spectator. Stories and casting We’re focusing on the stories that arise and revolve around competitive play, not the cutscenes or lore of StarCraft 2.

Zerg Rushes, Suicide Attacks and Splash Damage: How Real Insect Warfare is Similar to StarCraft. The Zerg were certainly inspired by insects (which is clearly acknowledged in the article at the beginning)...I think you are just missing the point: that the similarities go deeper than what was most likely intended (check out the swarm host next to the water bug!)
And that it is fun to just take a second and try to compare further. Also, what's cool is that there are so many wicked insect morphologies and behaviors (some highlighted here) that aren't captured or been used as inspiration for the Starcraft series yet. I still stand by what I said. I guess it's kind of neat to go back and see what bugs served as that inspiration, but I just don't see the awe, I suppose. I was thinking the same thing as I read the article, that some of the similarities were clearly by design and not coincidence. Well, this is certainly a mildly tardy reply. So you're right. Evolution didn't generate any strikingly similar morphological diversity! Liquid Rising. Chaîne de Wasif1112. Main Page. 2011 in Review - TL Awards.
Theorycraft. Theorycraft is the mathematical analysis of game mechanics to discover the best strategies and tactics to maximize player effectiveness.
It uses tools such as statistics, ability priority lists, and simulations to analyze strategies. The term was coined by the community of Starcraft players as a portmanteau of "StarCraft" and "game theory", which studies reactions of players in response to game rules. In video games, theorycraft breaks the barrier between game players and developers, since players try to discover the mechanics that usually are accessible only to developers, such as damage coefficients and hidden but subtle mechanics.
Damage per second (shortened DPS) is unit of measure of damage to a character in relation to time; it is the measure of how quickly a character does damage. Maximizing DPS is often a primary focus of theorycrafters. Strategy. [GSL] Code S Nov '11 - Power Rank Edition. Downloads - scbuildorder - Develops build orders for Starcraft II. SCBuildOrder – P/Z/T Build Order Optimizer. Zerg Build Order Optimizer: Evolution Chamber. Posted by dOoBiX on October 22nd, 2010 at 8:13 pm | 8,645 views Lomilar from Teamliquid.net has released a cool new program, Evolution Chamber, that will help you find the fastest time to build something in StarCraft 2.
Currently this is only for the Zerg race, so Terran and Protoss players are out of luck. Also, you will need Java 1.6 installed to run the program. Using this is relatively simple – you just input numbers next to the units or buildings you would like to make. Depending on the build order that you want, this program can take from several minutes to several hours to complete the optimization. Below in the spoiler is the output for Lomilar’s input to make 7 Roaches as fast as possible. The Day9 Overture. APM vs RPM. Do you macro like a pro? u4EMH.

Three Barracks Rush [edit] Overview An all-in timing attack at the 4:30 mark, plus rush distance, that utilizes the Supply Drop to get as many Marines as possible and then uses all SCVs available to tank damage, while MULEs continue to mine and support production for the three Barracks.
A good build to practice Bunker rushing and Marine/SCV micro during, but is easily countered by static defenses (Bunker, Cannon, Spine) or the opposing army not being small enough to kill with relative ease.

The build is deployed as a counter to an early Roach opening or fast hydras. It allows for defense against most early aggression and an early expansion. After the opening the Terran player has multiple transitions into mid-to-late game. To stay alive and possibly counter a Zerg who is going for a Roach Hydra opening. When your Supply Depot is done send the SCV used to build it to scout the opponents base, if you see a Spawning Pool and gas that is when you ultimately decide you are going for the 2 Rax Marauder build. If you successfully counter the Zerg they may attempt to go for mass speedlings which can cause large problems, at which point the proper thing to do would be to lift the Barracks and build reactors.
