You can do a lot with HTML5: http://techcrunch.com/2010/04/01/google-html5-quake/ http://pl4n3.blogspot.com/2010/07/bulletjs-javascript-ragdoll-physics.html
and it has the advantage of letting you put together an app for the iPhone/iPad while bypassing Apple's requirements for AppStore. When Chrome beta first came out and I heard it had the ability to create app shortcuts on the desktop, I realized you could package a web game in what appears to be a desktop app. The installer would just check if Chrome is available and if not, it'd download it for you. Chrome comes with Google Gears, so you can use a local SQL store, though I'm not sure how well that'd work with your game. Maybe as a cache. I'd like to talk to you more about the game off this list/forum. Using Rails to write a web-based turn-based game has been something I've been messing with in my head for a while.
