Starcraft 2 ZERG build order simulator

So apparently trial and error was insufficient for a team of programmers (more like BROgrammers) who posted not too long ago on the [Team Liquid] forum. They have created a Java based program that, when you give it a final output and a time limit, will try its best to get your output in the allotted time. What does this mean exactly? It means they've created a bot that can test build orders so you no longer have to! If you want to download it, you can either visit the above link, or get it right from [Here].

Like anything, however, it's not perfect. It's an approximation, and while it may get very close to what the timing is, it's not exact. According to the post:

It is also naive. It uses averages and numbers, it doesn't actually run a drone to the mineral line, or think about how long it takes to run a drone to build a spawning pool. It is a simulator, and is not subject to gas steals, scouting, or anything of that sort.

But let me tell you, this thing is capable of testing a build order for me roughly, so I don't have to do it myself. Here is my example of the 7 Minute - 10 Hydra build:

It works, and now with what it has outputted, I can go into Sc2 and load up a build order testing game to try it! It really is amazing how sophisticated Starcraft 2 is, that people have had to come up with this tester to maximize builds with Zerg. Terran and Protoss to come at a later date

Think this program is useless? To give you an idea, it took this program 1,772,000 games played to perfect the build. Sure, a human may do it in less games, but it took the program all of 5 minutes to give me the complete build order. Pretty cool if you ask me!
