TextWorld

A text based role playing game engine written in TypeScript on Deno with an Angular frontend. This is still a work in progress but there is a lot here. There is a strong focus on test driven design although we don't currently have 100% code coverage.

The current focus is more on the game engine and less on the little world that was created to play in. This will change as time moves on.
