TextWorld

A text based role playing game engine written in TypeScript for Deno with an Angular frontend and tiny sample game. This is still a work in progress but there is a lot here.

The current focus is more on the game engine and less on the little world that was created to play in. Development is drivin primarily from the tests rather than the tiny game that is included. This will eventually change but there are still a few more features to finalize before that happens.
