Sounds like CoreWars meets MUD!
I've had something vaguely like that on a way-back burner for a few years.
I was aiming at a much higher level, however - essentially the level at
which my current system has parse trees for execution. I doubt it'll ever
get implemented, however - too many other things are needed first! Your
audience might be a bit restricted - those who are into both MUDs and
CoreWars type things!

Don't design inefficiency in - it'll happen in the implementation. - me
