s2client-api

The StarCraft II API provides access to in-game state observation and unit control. The API is a wrapper around protobuf defined protocol over a websocket connection.

While it's possible to write directly to the protocol, this library provides a C++ and class-based abstraction. You can see a simple example below.

#include <sc2api/sc2_api.h>

#include <iostream>

using namespace sc2;

class Bot : public Agent {
public:
    virtual void OnGameStart() final {
        std::cout << "Hello, World!" << std::endl;
    }

    virtual void OnStep() final {
        std::cout << Observation()->GetGameLoop() << std::endl;
    }
};

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    Coordinator coordinator;
    coordinator.LoadSettings(argc, argv);

    Bot bot;
    coordinator.SetParticipants({
        CreateParticipant(Race::Terran, &bot),
        CreateComputer(Race::Zerg)
    });

    coordinator.LaunchStarcraft();
    coordinator.StartGame(sc2::kMapBelShirVestigeLE);

    while (coordinator.Update()) {
    }

    return 0;
}

Building

This library uses CMake to generate project files. It builds with Visual Studio on Windows and Makefiles on the other platforms. It relies on the following contrib packages.

1. Civetweb
2. Protobuf
3. (optional) SDL
4. ipv6-parse

Follow the instructions for submodules and building in docs/building.md.
