We present TorchCraft, a library that enables deep learning research on Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games such as StarCraft: Brood War, by making it easier to control these games from a machine learning framework, here Torch. This white paper argues for using RTS games as a benchmark for AI research, and describes the design and components of TorchCraft. TorchCraft is a BWAPI module that sends StarCraft data out over a ZMQ connection. This lets you parse StarCraft data and interact with BWAPI from anywhere. The TorchCraft client should be installed from C++, Python, or Lua. We provide off-the-shelf solutions for Python and Lua.
