[s-b] Proposal: GameBoard

[<bnomic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I submit the following Proposal GameBoard:
{

  Create a New Rule with the title "The Game Board" consisting of the
following
  {
    Squares are a type of Game Object which may contain a single Player and
at most one Device, excluding any Devices owned by a Player. Squares have
an Attribute Color, which is defined below. Squares have an Attribute
Altitude, which is defined below. 

    There is an Attribute Color with a Scope of all Squares, Devices, and
Agreements, a Range of all hexadecimal colors and undefined, and a default
value of undefined.

    There is an Attribute Altitude with a Scope of all Squares, a Range of
the integers -5 through 5 inclusive and a default value of 0. Any Square
with an altitude greater-than 3 or less-than negative 3 is said to be
impassible, and cannot be entered by a Player without some Device or
Attribute that permits it. Any Square with an altitude equal to five or
negative five is completely impassible and may not be entered by a Player.
Any Player Resident in a Square with an altitude lower than zero is said to
be Swimming, and eir movement is halved, rounding down. Any Player Resident
in a Square with an altitude greater than zero is said to be Climbing, and
eir movement is halved, rounding down. A Player who runs out of movement
for the nday in a Square with an Altitude lower than zero is Drowning and
eir HP attribute is decreased by one for each nday they remain in a Square
with a negative Altitude.

    The Game Board is a Game Object that is a two-dimensional array of
Squares, 20 Squares on a side. As a game action, each Living Player may
Travel along the Game Board, by specifying which adjacent Square they are
entering. Upon entering the new Square, e ceases to be Resident in the
previous Square and becomes Resident of the new Square. Each Living Player
may move up to five times per nday, and cannot move while the Clock is Off.
