    Users claim coordinates of a "room", and define the layout with ascii
#location
5,7

#layout
 |  $ _/
_|  _  _=
___/ \___

The game engine turns these charicters into collidable geometry.
Some characters could represent standard entities like spikes, moving platforms, trampolines.
Rooms are a standard size of X by Y dimensions.
When the player leaves the room, the game would load the neighboring room in that direction.
scripting

Users can extend their rooms with special scripts. This involves defining an asci entity region,
and associating js script with it.
#entity:portal:4,4:teleport
 ^
<@>
 V

#script:teleport
{
  "trigger": function(player){ load_room(6,8) }
}
