That's a cool idea.
You would need to build the language parser and basic game engine.
With 'parse, the language interpreter could be built pretty fast and
easily extended.
I think the hard part of making it so distributed would be keeping the
game continuity. Two different people may design adjacent rooms, one
being a very futuristic space capsule while the other is some bizarre,
surreal room with chairs on the walls and 3 legged people drinking
soda through their fingertips.
Nevertheless, REBOL would be a great platform for it.
