javascript node.js scripts

[mojoaxel]

These games are meant as simple CLI scripts (see #117 (comment)).
I therefor think javascript should target mainly node.js instead of the browser (in opposite of whats currents implemented).

• So, I started porting the existing javascript implementations to be simple node-scripts.
• I also introduced very basic common function like print, input and tab. (see Intellij complains about dependencies in ConsoleTest.kt. #548 (comment)).
• I decided to use modern ES-modules instead of the legacy commonCJ node-syntax. That way the scripts can easily load the common function (also in the browser). For this to work the files have a *.mjs extension.
• To not loose the ability to play the games in the browser I created a simple node-terminal-emulator that lets run our node-scripts directly in the browser. For this to work I overwrote the default process.stdout/stdin of node and hocked them up to some browser mockups. I know this is very hacky but it works just fine (at least for the simple scripts I've tested).

Here is an example of the emulator in action: https://mojoaxel.github.io/basic-computer-games/00_Common/javascript/WebTerminal/terminal.html#74_Rock_Scissors_Paper/javascript/rockscissors.mjs

This way we have the best of both worlds:

• ✔️ The JavaScript implementations get very slim and easy to ready also for beginners. All the browser-specific stuff is gone!
• ✔️ The scripts can simply be executed and played in every shell, just like e.g. the python or perl implementations.
• ✔️ We still have the possibility to run the games in the browser.
• ✔️ The terminal-emulator even feels more "real" because the input fields are gone.
• ❌ It is no longer super easy for the user to run the games locally IN THE BROWSER, but I think that is ok ant it is still possible using the emulator.

The following games already have been refactored to be valid node-script:

• 57_Literature_Quiz
• 74_Rock_Scissors_Paper
• 78_Sine_Wave
• 96_Word
• all other games still use the existing html-implementation

Please let me know what you think!!

As long as we can run the games in the browser for the JS versions, it's all good to me!

@nanochess @stevebosman What do you think about this (big) change! I would be happy to hear your input!

LGTM! Let's merge it and then discuss!

Thanks for merging! Looks like the new node.js-terminal-emulator works:

It is good! One thing I noticed, the terminal style seems to disppear if you make the browser narrow, e.g.:

compare to a little bit wider:
