OK, you asked for it ...


HORSE GAME

<SNIP>

That is the basic idea, although I keep making changes, so there may
be contradictions within this text, and I know what I'm talking about,
even if you don't understand some of the terminology!!

Wow, you have a well thought out plan for a game.
I'd start with a text base system that can do most everything you state.
Once the text base game is done, And I know that a text based game
is usually boring,  but, Once that is done, then all the pretty graphics
can be added. the buliding and arranging of the landscape.
You can color your horse and select breeds with text.
Stallion, Light Brown, Clydesdale.  I'm not a race horse fanantic.
Clydesdale is about the only breed I know.   any how.
You can even select colors and styles of stables and such with text.
Again, I know it isn't anywhere near as much fun but... Think of the
textbased system as a story book game engine.  Once you have the
text based system laid out it should be pretty easy to attache the graphics
stuff.  I'm not saying the graphic stuff is easy. It will be a different
engine
that interfaces with the text based system that would complete the
overall concept and idea that you have put forth.
