How to write a Skirmish AI for Spring

Quick Start

Please choose your preferred programming language:

• Lua
  
• C
  
• C++
  
• C#
  
• Java
  
• Groovy
  
• Python
  
• other -> have a look at AI Interfaces & Wrappers
  

For a general explanation about Springs AI API, see the introduction to Springs AI interface system. Though, an AI dev does not have to know about this, and should just follow the link to his preffered language from the list above.

I have setup my AI dev environment, what now?

It may be a good idea to look at some of the other AIs for Spring, to check out the AI related links page and visiting Springs AI dev forum.
