Improved presentation + website

[Atlinx]

I really like this plugin, and I thought I could improve its presentation to attract more people. I've added a banner and an Angular website that should be hosted on github pages. All of this is based on @Jummit's logo and color scheme.

You can check out the revamped repo here, and the website here.

Damn! I completely appreciate the work done here but I'm going to be honest with you, I don't think WAT is currently in a state for a proper website. I currently have a private repo where I'm trying to handle WAT in a slightly more micro-servicey way through the use of servers (probably using JSONRPC)

The intention there is threefold;

Firstly we can handle all of the language specific things in the Clients (so instead of running into weird issues like no .new() found on uncompiled csharp scripts, we just instead collect the C# files through a C# client) & secondly, the existence of a server will allow plugins (like Rider, Code etc) to hook into the testing by acting as a Test Client*.

*It is technically possible for VSCode to do this already through the use of godot-tools & the LSP but that's gdscript only (I believe). The system I'm proposing could add support for new languages by simply creating an external test client (responsible for discovering tests & displaying results) along with a package of a test-driver, test-class & set of assertions added to the main plugin.

Feel free to message me or catch me on Discord for more.

Thanks for catching me up to the state of the plugin! I think your microservice approach is really neat and could make it a whole lot easier to add new language and client support. I'm not too familiar with local servers and JSONRPC, but I'd be happy to help out with development. Is this going to be the framework that WAT will use with Godot 4.0 and onward?

JSONRPC more or less just means sending a JSON Object and interpreting it as a method call and returning the result.

This probably will be the framework going onward for the foreseeable future.
