Re: Learning the StarCraftII Build Order Meta

Hi HN,

This project was my first go at using the pySC2 API recently released by DeepMind and Blizzard. It takes data scraped from 25,000 human played SC2 replays to build a RNN sequence model that can predict the sequence of unique StarCraftII units/buildings in a 1v1 match. The model is a single layered RNN and I tuned some hyperparameters using a GA implemented using the DEAP python library. There's also a super simple webapp you can use to play with and test your own custom build orders for the game.

Was a really fun project and hopefully some of the work helps others build their own!
