SC2Mapster

I'm going from time to time to give open problems that are not yet solved. If you want to take the challenge, this would help the map making community and get you fame!

• Open Problem: When a hero dies, he loses all his XP and Abilities. Find a workaround!

Some leads: Save the xp and abilities everytime they change. When the hero is about to die, hide it and play the death animation on a temporary hero. Make a "feign death" ability with the Data Editor.

Play Solo

Battle.Net is down, I am going to feature solo playable maps every day. Today I'm going to present maps that feel like the normal game.

Improve your Build Order Skills:

• Yabot - Yet Another Build Order Tester
• Build Order Tester

Destroy the computer AI:

• Mimic AI: Make the computer learn your macro, and play against yourself!
• Behemoth AI: Pretty good AI :)

Marine Hero Selection by zKyuuketsuki

Today I am going to show off impressive stuff done with the dialogs. Beginning with zKyuuketsuki that did a custom UI to select marine characteristics. It's pretty cool :)

Team Selection by SC2Strategies

We continue our journey with SC2Strategies that made a team selection library. It is freely usable in your projects if you want to have one too! He also made some video tutorials on how it works behind the scenes!

Lights Out by moronsonofboron

You probably know the game Lights Out: each time you click on a spot, it inverses the color of the neighbors. moronsonofboron decided to give it a try and code it inside Starcraft II. The result is pretty cool. If you want to exercize your brain (and don't have a DS), this is for you!
