Zerg Rush On Your iPad With “Starcraft II Gameboard”

Keeping the dozens of keyboard shortcuts necessary to be competitive in Blizzard’s new multi-faction, space RTS Stacraft II mind mapped can be difficult for even the most caffeinated South Korean pro gamer, but if you’ve got an iOS device, pulling off a successful Zerg rush is about to get a whole lot easier, thanks to the Starcraft II Gameboard.

Developed by Daniel Hellerman, the Starcraft II Gameboard turns your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad into a dedicated control pad, from which you can easily issue orders and build new units. Essentially, it syncs with a program on your computer and allows you to send complicated keyboard hot key combinations just by tapping an icon with your finger. You can even look up information in a Starcraft II unit encyclopedia while you’re at it.

The Starcraft II Gameboard is expected to arrive in the App Store in September for $2.99. The only problem is, the client software needed for the program to run is for Windows-based systems only… which seems like a huge oversight, given Starcraft II‘s excellent native Mac port.
