mw-tools: reconstructing a MythWar I server

mw-tools develops a MythWar I server from scratch using the game client. The project seeks old gameplay videos or recordings to help replicate original features. Its TypeScript code targets Node 16 and includes a script that creates the client's door.dat server-list file for local play. The server currently lacks data storage, multiplayer and most game features.
