Abstract
StarCraft II (SC2) is a real-time strategy science-fiction video game developed by Blizzard Entertainment. Known for its complex state space and open-source environment [8], SC2 has become a popular domain for Artificial Intelligence (AI) research. This paper leverages the advances in AI research from SC2 to build human-autonomy teaming (HAT) aids, AI-driven software tools for human interactivity, for players to improve their skills. The human-machine interface (HMI) that houses these tools breaks the game into different components and visually represents each HAT aid to increase situational awareness and decrease response time.
