Doing this kind of thing and making a good game out of it requires either a full team or a LOT of time, and I would rather have our users be able to put out qualitt content they are proud of.
I wasn't expecting people to write everything from scratch of course. I was thinking of making a game engine from a pre existing graphical engine like the SDL. As long as you can draw pictures onscreen, register user inputs and play sounds, making a simple minigame is just a matter of creating the right classes.
