A technical project ports fighting game rollback netcode into StarCraft: Brood War, enabling smooth online play for a classic RTS that originally lacked modern netcode. The approach demonstrates how techniques from fighting games can be adapted to real-time strategy games for latency compensation.
Background
StarCraft: Brood War (1998) is one of the most influential RTS games and has a thriving esports scene, but its original netcode was designed for LAN play and struggles with modern online matchmaking.
