## Description

Warriorjs is a programming game framework and code-based logic puzzle where players write code to control characters and solve strategic combat challenges. It serves as an educational coding game designed to teach programming logic and algorithmic thinking through a series of combat scenarios.

The project functions as an extensible game engine that allows the addition of new universes, levels, abilities, and units via independent package extensions. It also provides tools for custom level design, enabling the creation of challenges for other players to solve.

The system manages game entity definitions, spatial positioning, and turn-based state simulation. It executes game levels through a terminal-based interface, calculating numeric scores and letter grades based on the performance of the provided logic.
