AI Contest, Moving Minimap, Best Practises, Jam

Solo Maps

It is Tower Defense time! All those are playable solo and you should have fun with them :)

Melee AI Contest

The AI Contest is now over. Making an AI is an extremly difficult task and 5 people took that challenge. At the beginning of the contest making an AI with the Galaxy Editor was a completly unexplored path and innovative entries came alive! Behemoth AI by rrowland is focused on micro whereas Mimic AI by Callex, his main challenger (2 votes of difference) is designed to learn and reproduce behaviors!

Thanks to Vortexx2010 and Andernerd for their participations and Th3LaughingMan for making an AI framework that will get better and better in the future :)

Moving Minimap by Helral

Helral used the camera bounds triggers to make the minimap move along with the user view. This is pretty clever!

Best Practises by Pandepic

Pandemic wrote a pretty interesting tutorial with many Galaxy Editor Best Practises. He covers a great part of the Trigger editor abilities and how to write code that doesn't become a mess after a while. It takes 5 minutes to read it and save you a lot more from headaches!

  • Commenting, Naming conventions, Virtual folders and organization, Libraries, Constants versus magic numbers, Variables, Arrays, If-Then-Else, Switch-Case, Trigger Execute versus Events, Timers, Loops, For Each versus Pick Each versus While, Defining actions and functions, When to script in Galaxy

Sc2 Jam by pablols

To finish this news, a Guitar Hero like game called Sc2 Jam. It's pretty cool, I hope we can see more of these in the future :)
