Hi,

I accidentally saw this cool project and was curious whether it is for Japanese rule? As i saw the komi= 6.5

Yes, this attempts to do territory scoring without counting points in seki, which corresponds to the Japanese rules often played on online servers. Note that this is not the same as strict Japanese rules - for example Japanese rules technically require you to fill all the dame before ending the game, even though this is almost never done on online servers.

Thanks for replying! Because I know how hard to implement scoring, I have infinite respect for you.

Only one small suggestion:
Perhaps, at some point in the future, you can tell users in the README about which rules of Japanese are included and which are not supported.
