This may be a stupid question but what engine is Starcraft built on?

None.

If you're thinking of something like Unreal Engine or something, it's not made with any engine like that. It is loosely based on WarCraft 2, but that is all in-house.

TinyMap2 - Latest in map compression! ( 7/09/14 - New build! )
EUD Action Enabler - Lightweight EUD/EPD support! (ChaosLauncher/MPQDraft support!)
EUDDB - topic - Help out by adding your EUDs! Or Submit reference files in the References tab!
MapSketch - New image->map generator!
EUDTrig - topic - Quickly and easily convert offsets to EUDs! (extended players supported)
SC2 Map Texture Mask Importer/Exporter - Edit texture placement in an image editor!

Math + Physics + StarCraft = Zoan

What programming language is SC built on? My friend thought it was built on something that started with a t, I think. I can't remember exactly what he thought it might've been though lol.

Note I know nothing about programming and might sound like a total idiot asking this if this question doesn't make any sense.

I think it was built with C++, using direct X for windows graphics, they used a number of existing data types such as MoPaQ and smk. Was ported to Mac using carbon and reprogrammed graphics and networking code - Heinermann would know better/more specifics.

MPQ is also in-house. It just carried over from WarCraft. SMK (videos), WAV (sounds), and PCX (used for backgrounds and color tables) are probably the only non-in-house formats used (there are a few others, but their usage is very limited).

Ultraviolet -- Yeah, I suppose there's something to that

Oh_Man -- whereas just "press X to get 50 health back" is pretty mindless

[2024-5-06. : 5:02 am]

Oh_Man -- because it adds anotherr level of player decision-making where u dont wanna walk too far away from the medic or u lose healing value

[2024-5-06. : 5:01 am]

Oh_Man -- initially I thought it was weird why is he still using the basic pre-EUD medic healing system, but it's actually genius

Ultraviolet -- Vrael

Vrael shouted: I almost had a heart attack just thinking about calculating all the offsets it would take to do that kind of stuff

With the modern EUD editors, I don't think they're calculating nearly as many offsets as you might imagine. Still some fancy ass work that I'm sure took a ton of effort

[2024-5-06. : 12:51 am]

Oh_Man -- definitely EUD

[2024-5-05. : 9:35 pm]

Vrael -- that is insane

[2024-5-05. : 9:35 pm]

Vrael -- damn is that all EUD effects?
