Count me in. I am strangely fas
Well, since I started the thread, yeah, I'd be interested. It would be cool
to have a big brainstorming session first, and then set down the goals (to
the minutest detail) and post them on a web page. Then put a timeline on the
goals and give out assignments.

Just a small point :)
"whalla" ?
The word you want is French, "voila", pronounced "vwalla" in English.
It means "there".

Make sure that the room designer code understands plain text or Rebol code.

I agree - at least until REBOL has 3D support. (:

Yeah, that's an idea. But as long as the rules to the world are rich
enough, leaving what you
I'm thinking of a world where the laws of physics adhere more to a cartoon,
looney tune-like set of standards. Otherwise, the game engine becomes too
bogged-down. Keep it fun, not realistic.

This could be
And make it game "browser" independent, so that Ryans Zork browser could

enhanced stuff would have to come from the client end. Minus the

Not necessarily. One of the criteria built-in to the Reb-based "room
editor" would be to choose the "type" of room you are creating. Of
course, even that would be on the honor system.

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 ad
