A collection of useful tools for Spore, a 2008 video game from Maxis.

The tools are written in TypeScript, and are largely targeted towards mod developers, but have a variety of uses.

The tools are all usable in a web browser. Most of the code is organized into ES Modules for reusability in other websites or applications.
