Wasn't able to start the server using instructions provided. I've added a section about TypeScript compilation in the README. I have also made SMTP optional, since running without an SMTP password file causes an error to occur. You may want to add more configuration to the server for that, since emails and their content are hard-coded at the moment.

P.S: SMTP password checking code is untested, but it should just work.

PS2: WebUI authentication / user creation setup should be documented somewhere. Creating a user that would work with the client was moderately difficult to do, and required some reverse-engineering.

I would prefer that you have at least some sort of experience debugging these things. It's not easy, the method I use involves creating and adding SSL certificates on your computer, and then changing the hosts file to redirect the Blocksworld server address to your local computer.

If any of that sounds like something you've never done before or would have no clue how to do, I do not recommend it, because it generally isn't a fun process.

I just wanna play BW iOS again lol, I haven't played since shutdown. I got far enough that on my mac the terminal said "The server is running!" But nothing.

Kinda stuck and I've kept trying, im not good at these kind of things but i determined to do it
