make games easy accessable on the web

[mojoaxel]

• This PR creates a index.html in the root of the repository.
• With this it gets easy to access the games directly in the browser without downloading the repository.
• There is also a new script 00_Utilities/build-index.js, that creates the index.html for the given folder structure.
• After merging this github-pages can easily be enabled for this repository. (see also [Idea] Publish to GitHub pages #577)
  If we don't want these files in the main branch, feel free to merge than into a seperate branch (e.g. gh-pages) and only enable github-pages for this branch.)

Here is an example: https://mojoaxel.github.io/basic-computer-games/

Open ToDos:

• allowing for one game-folder to have multibel games (html files).
• create a github action that updates the index.html
• add some basic stylesheet for the html files. (Add "nice" terminal style stylesheet for javascript html #633)

What do you think? Any ideas for improvements?

OMG, this is awesome! I was able to check the behavior of my version of Nim against the JavaScript version. It turns the whole book into a playable website! I feel so old fashioned with my files and my executables. :-)

ok! Let me know when it is ready. Also contact me if you want to help own the repository, I could use some co-owner help! 🙏

@coding-horror I think this is ready to be merged

• The failing python pipeline has nothing to do with my changes. See Python: Code cleanup #647
• A github action to auto-regenerate the index.html is still missing, but this could easily be added later.
• I would recommend simply merging this into main and than enable github-pages for the main branch. This way everything stays easy and manageable (This is still targeted for beginners!).
• I would feel honored to become a maintainer for this repository, but I'm not promising anything 😉

Ok I enabled github pages for the main branch, does it look OK to you?
