AI Creation: Where do I begin?

• I just read the unit placing guide, and I guess that is useful, no doubt. Improvising and creating AI's sounds absolutely awesome, and I want to know where do I start? I'm still searching if there is any guides in the forum already but it's quite hard to navigate...

  Thanks in advance!

• Don't know whether or not I have misunderstood, but is it to correct to say that the low tier AI is all were going to have access to? Or is the AI actually being improvised by the community.

• The only ai released by blizzard is the "very easy" one. What's happening when you see those "hard" ai patches are probably people writing ai code, either from scratch or based off blizzard's ai.

  From the little that i've looked at it seems quite coding heavy, which was never my sort of thing.

  Here's a link to what people are working on, a preliminary glance tells me they've got a long way to go.

  You could also take a look at the game files inside the mods/liberty.sc2mod folder and extract the ai codes directly.

  Good Luck

• Ok, I am now looking at a bunch of familiar code. My goal at this point is to just tell the AI to spam zealots and such...I'll be very happy at that point.

  Thanks for the bit of help!

• Hopefully you have checked back on here and read turdburgler's 'Writing your own Starcraft 2 AI'. With that and the gitorious link, you should be able to get rolling.
