Comment on Cal to offer course in Advanced Starcraft Theory

Comments

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.

Even in combinatorial game theory, people tended to focus on simple games that could be solved.

My friend was considered doing work on game theory for more complex games like Starcraft. Apparently there was one research group at the University of Alberta, and not a whole lot elsewhere. However, I do know that Stanford has a videogame competition: in particular, you make games. http://graphics.stanford.edu/courses/cs248-videogame-competi...

My school also has an intermittent game theory course, in economics. I think it is an underappreciated field in undergraduate curricula.
