Multi-platform Version of StarCraft: Brood War in a Docker Container: Technical Report

Abstract: We present a dockerized version of a real-time strategy game StarCraft: Brood War, commonly used as a domain for AI research, with a pre-installed collection of AI developement tools supporting all the major types of StarCraft bots. This provides a convenient way to deploy StarCraft AIs on numerous hosts at once and across multiple platforms despite limited OS support of StarCraft. In this technical report, we describe the design of our Docker images and present a few use cases.
