If you mean what I think you mean, I had thought of doing something like this. 
Perhaps we could collaborate? Or are you just looking for some existing 
thing?

What I have in mind is like some games I've seen around the place before, 
where you write a 'script' to control a robot (usually in some arcane custom 
language) and you battle robots against each other. This could be done in 
Ruby, using Ruby itself as the script (in a sandbox of some sort). Is anyone 
else already doing something like this? If not, is anyone interested in 
collaborating with me on this? Is this what the OP was talking about at all? 
I thought I'd throw it out there.
