[REBOL] Re: reb sites - Zork! thoughts

And make it game "browser" independent, so that Ryans Zork browser could
browse the same world as my 3d sound enhanced game "browser". Much of the
enhanced stuff would have to come from the client end. Minus the
audio/visual effects, most of your 3d games of today are'nt much different
than the ones played on the 8 bit computers. Explore, find stuff, kill
creatures, and some all-around conquering.
A standard method of describing a game physics, background, features,
objects, and creatures should get things going.
Game physics would be interesting. How many whacks does it take to chop down
a tree? What if your the size of an ant? Which way will it fall. When you
come back a year later will it still be there? If your the size of ant and
you fall from space, will you get hurt when you land. Can a bird fly in a
weightless space station? Will a giant's knife work as normal mans sword?

I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination.
Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is
limited. Imagination encircles the world.
