GobanFTP – the board game Go played through FTP listings

AI Analysis
●●●BangerWizardryRabbit HoleZero to One
Encoding Go moves as FTP filenames for deterministic replay is brilliantly absurd.
Strengths
- •Uses directory listings as the single source of truth for game state replay.
- •Detects race conditions and forks naturally through filesystem enumeration.
- •Runs entirely on untrusted enumerable storage without needing a central server.
Weaknesses
- •FTP dependency makes it impractical for modern web-based gameplay.
- •No built-in scoring system or UI for casual players to actually enjoy a game.
