Notes

Slideshow Format:
- First Slide
- Title slide with Title of project and names
- introduce starcraft (background, history, why it is a good project to research)
- talk about the API and the advancements made in artificial intelligence (imperfect information game)
- how it spans beyond a video game
- talk about our approach to the project (2 different races, collaboration with API, but different strategy and approaches to how the bot should work and the machine learning), how it was an optimal research method given the time allotted to work
- Discuss how much of the game we actually manipulated and what specific things we used (for example, there are various units, but we picked 3 and worked with them in depth)
- Transition into the various methods considered, and the ones we actually used (Q-learning, reinforcement learning)
- Discuss our methods in an understandable way to those who have never heard of it and talk about how it was beneficial to use such methods with the starcraft environment
- Discuss results of our bot, and how they played out in their matches; Win loss statistics
- Talk about whether it turned out how we wanted it to and whether it was a successful bot, how we can improve it with more time and knowledge and experience
- Finish up with the future of the field, the game, and the implications to industry (from chess, to go, to imperfect information starcraft)
