Starcraft 2 works like a charm
It helps that StarCraft, while somewhat relying on speed, is much more about strategy, meta knowledge, and real-time adaptation when your plan isn’t working.
That’s not something you can easily script, even with LLMs. That’s why the bot players have to use cheats at higher difficulties, because decent players outsmart them pretty quickly.
For real? I'd be curious about how to get this running.
Lutris, install the blizzard battle thingy, then use that to install starcraft.
Nothing particularly fancy required
You don’t even need Lutris if you have Steam. You can install it directly through Steam by adding the Blizzard Launcher as a non-Steam game.
