Cal to offer course in Advanced Starcraft Theory

Mind you this is a "decal", which are kind of like clubs in a sense, with student instructors that teach classes more for personal edification purposes than "omg legitimate course of study!"

If my school had classes like this, I probably would have graduated. The best we had was a game theory class that ran once every couple years.

I can actually imagine this being legit. It is after all, an in depth examination of a complex system. Vocational relevance was never the goal anyway.<p>Edit: " Is it more advantageous to attack in a line or to envelop your opponent’s army? Prove your point using flux calculations. "<p>Tis legit.

Homework is play two games of Starcraft a week and submit replays. I wonder how much extra credit I can get...

Well, that game been around for longer than quite a few computer science theories, so I suppose a class on Starcraft is ok :-p.

I looked at the syllabus - I couldn't find the section where they teach you how to hurl abuse at other gamers while lanning.

Must... Take... Course!

For some background information, the course instructor started a thread on a popular Starcraft forum:<p><a href="http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=86501" rel="nofollow">http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=865...</a>

I was just thinking that it would be fun to play Starcraft with some of the people on this site. Do any of you still play? I don't play a lot, but when I do, this is the account I use:<p>Server: ICCup Nick: craton

I would love to take this course. Starcraft has got to be the only game that after 10 years I still frequently play.

so this is just game theory right, on -riods.

So basically in korea the major source of income is professional gamers? Ill dig that.<p>Did they realize that a person with say 2 hrs time every day for 3 months and 20 dollars to buy the game + some form reading time can figure this out on their own? Shit I just described every college course.
