Ok let set the stage for the game. You control a tank, with your script, on a battle field of variable size, and fight up to 9 other tanks in the field during one match.
The match will last for a set amount of time.(not infinite)
Your tank my perform tasks as moving, shooting, scaning, etc.
The object is to kill all the other tanks on the field.

Contributing programmers: mr.nick, OeufMayo

Please give your suggestions and comments.

UPDATE 5
I'm thinking of implementing everything in a true 3D space.

UPDATE 1
Thanks to Larsen for pointing out those other game

UPDATE 2
Mr.nick had the idea to include different types of moving or firing methods such as Moving::hover or Moving::treads. This made me think of stuff like Radar::passive, Radar::active, Body::normal, Body::stealth. The Body::stealth would suggest that radar is not 100% accurate.

UPDATE 3
Looks like it is going to be a time based not turn base game. Oh all the possibilities! =)

UPDATE 4
What do you think of 4 teams of 3 tanks fighting it out as a extra play type?

Game specs

M = meters; S = seconds;

Body::Normal {
  Hull = 1000
  Radarsig = 90
  Maxpower = 100
}

Body::Stealth {
  Hull = 700
  Radarsig = 45
  Maxpower = 60
}

Weapon::Cannon {
  Damage = 500
  Accuracy   = 5 // Within n M of location shot at
  DamageArea = 5 // M
  Reload = 10    // S
  Rrange = 500   // M
  Speed  = 20    // M per S
  Power  = 10    // Power needed from body
}

Weapon::Rocket {
  Damage = 700
  Accuracy   = 30 // Within n M of location shot at
  DamageArea = 20 // M
  Reload = 10     // S
  Rrange = 500    // M
  Speed  = 20     // M per S
  Power  = 20     // Power needed from body
}
