Greg.... You and I have had similar aspirations, it seems. The ideas are different but their seminal grounding is the same. I long ago concluded that the only way to get what I want is to bite the bullet and become a programmer.
A lot of what you want to do encapsulates intelligence and behavior in reusable objects. For that, you may find an object-oriented tool like Smalltalk (specifically Squeak) more amenable. Tons of simulations (which are close to what you seem to be thinking) have been done in Smalltalk over the decades. There are a LOT of substrates and components out there already. My take is that Rev is not likely to be an easy, malleable environment in which to create the kinds of things your obviously fertile mind is already dreaming up, let alone the things that will spring forth from those already rich ideas. Just my opinion, of course, but I think you'd find more shoulders on which to stand (i.e., components, objects, concepts, tools) over in Smalltalkland than you will in RevWorld.

Bj?rnke: I didn't specifiy precisely what it is I want to achieve in my last post because it was already long enough. I actually have several different projects in mind that I would, before I die, like to try to accomplish, but don't know if they are realistic for one guy, working alone. I know I can do the graphics and the basic interactivity, but these projects go deeper than that:
