<div><p>Hey all,</p><p>We were recently contacted by a professor looking for students interested in taking part in a study, see message below.<br></p><p><br></p><p>Hello Starcraft Players,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Do you know how to play Starcraft II and want to do so as part of a
research study? If so, I’m inviting you to participate in an experiment
that will provide you a chance to collaborate with an AI while playing
Starcraft II. We will be running these experiments
starting with the week of October 26.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The experiment will take no more than 60 minutes, and you will be
compensated with a $10 Amazon gift card for your participation.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Participants in the study will play Starcraft II guided by an AI
designed to provide strategy suggestions to players. Participants will
install Starcraft II and an additional software tool to guide players
throughout the experiment. Participants will take
pre- and post-experiment questionnaire and upload their game play data
collected during the experiment on a cloud repository. The experiment
will take place on the participants’ local computer and requires a
Windows operating system.
<br>
