The esolangers amongst us know of FukYorBrane (http://esoteric.voxelperfect.net/files/fyb/doc/fyb_spec.txt), which is a pre-existing game with similar rules. It is somewhat interesting, although it helps to have a cap on program length to prevent degenerate strategies. Your idea sounds somewhat different in the details (although similar in spirit), and might well be as interesting or more interesting; I'm not entirely sure exactly how well it would work, though. -- ais523
