soO_Bot is down 0-1 in the Finals against Cure_Bot in ProBots.
The crowd is buzzing. soO_Bot needs to pull off something bold to stay in the match. There’s no time to play it safe—the best chance for a comeback is to go all-in with some perfectly executed 12 Pool Zerg Rush. Can you help soO_Bot even the score?
Objective:
Help soO_Bot Spawn Zerglings and Launch a Rush to the Enemy Base after 12 Supply!
This template sets up your bot’s race and libraries. Add your code in the on_step function to execute the zerg rush strategy. The on_step gets called every game loop.
from sc2.bot_ai import BotAI, Race
from sc2.data import Result
from sc2.ids.unit_typeid import UnitTypeId # References StarCraft II unit types
class CompetitiveBot(BotAI):
NAME: str = “CompetitiveBot”
“””This bot’s name.”””
RACE: Race = Race.Zerg
“””
This bot’s StarCraft 2 race.
Options are:
Race.Terran
Race.Zerg
Race.Protoss
Race.Random

This code runs once at the start of the game.
Use this to set up initial state, build orders, etc.

print(“Game started”)

# on_step is called every game loop. This is where you collect info,
# decide actions, and issue commands each iteration.
# ‘pass’ is a placeholder so Python won’t throw an error for an empty function.
# Remove or replace it once you add your real logic.

Stuck?
How can your bot know when it’s at 12 supply to start building a Spawning Pool? Explore the bot’s attributes related to “supply” in the
python-sc2documentation.
Nudge: Look into self.supply_used to check the current supply. Once you reach 12 supply, find out how to use a worker unit (Drone) to construct a building at a specific location. The build() function might help.
How can your bot train Zerglings after the Spawning Pool is complete? What unit is responsible for spawning Zerglings?
Nudge: Use the UnitTypeId.LARVA to find Larvae and command them to train Zerglings. After Zerglings are ready, use self.enemy_start_locations to identify where they should attack.
