Computer go naming conventions

「　WIP (Work in progress)☆」

「　Oh...☆」

「　Which Go is it?」

Go

「　↑ It's a computer game☆」

「　↓ Let's make software☆」

http://entcog.c.ooco.jp/entcog/new_uec/en/

「　I can't speak english☆」

「　Self-study using the internet☆」

Engine

「　↑ The meaning of the engine is a computer player.
It is easy for Japanese people to make a mistake because they think that things have names.
I think foreigners think their work has a name☆」

「　It is the engine that drives computer Go.」

Communication

「　↑ I can't understand what they are saying☆」

「　I don't want to study SGMP.」

https://www.gnu.org/software/gnugo/gnugo_19.html ← The Go Text Protocol (GTP) document.

「　↑ In GTP, engines do not talk directly to each other.
The server mediates☆」

「　Looks easy☆」

https://github.com/muzudho/nngs-docker ← It is not used in the competition.

「　↑ However, the servers used in computer Go competitions speak in human-readable language☆」

「　Oh, No☆!」

http://www.computer-go.jp/

「　↑ There is GTP2NNGS (GTP to NNGS).」

「　I'm still studying it☆」

「　↑ From the server's point of view, all the players are clients ☆」

(Which one is the server depends on how you look at things.)

「　↑ However, do not name it server or client.
Because the relationship changes.
Call your father a son☆」

「　Hey, son☆!」

「　↑ The pitfall of program naming.」

「　↑ This is not a rule,
but It's good to see the big picture and give it a different name☆」

「　↑ This is my knowledge, not the rules.
Find the direction of the arrows in the figure above and divide the program so that one arrow is one major category☆」

「　Why☆?」

「　My native language, Japanese, is funny and confusing when the speaker changes.
The program is neither a movie nor a novel.
Don't move the protagonist of the project☆」

「　I can do that with the shape of a star, but I can't do it with the shape of a net.」

「　If you are Japanese, you can do it because you are accustomed to going up and down the train at the station☆」

「　Tokyo station is the protagonist☆」

「　When it comes to going up and down, are you above or below☆?」

「　I'm below and Tokyo station is above.
There was a powerful general in Japan and the direction was forced.」

「　Soga, Mononobe, Taira, Minamoto, Ashikaga, Toyotomi, 15 Tokugawa, Katsura, Yamagata, ...It's a problem to be too many.☆」

Coordination

「　↑ There is no column I.
The International Go Federation has decided.
Of course, you don't have to protect it in competitions where the International Go Federation is not involved☆」

「　Everyone is doing it loosely☆」

「　↑ Also, there is no rule for the loop counter.
It can start from 0 or 1 or else.
You can use i, j, x, y or else.
No rule☆」

「　Which is daddy's recommendation☆?」

「　Like x, y in mathematics.
but y is upside down☆」

「　The direction to read the text.」

「　i and j are regular loop counters.
There is no deep meaning.」

「　↑ Some people use Z for their coordinates, what is it?」

「　YYXX format.
The machine can read the coordinates with a few instructions.
Used by those who have taken a computer Go seminar at The University of Electro-Communications☆」

「　Why is it YYXX instead of XXYY☆?」

「　Ascending order☆」
