I'm very happy that you have such a high opinion of me and a bit envious of
the audiences you are getting :-P
I think so much audience participation will either fail to work (due to a
lack of code that will run) or get very messy very soon.
It might work for a very limited context. Interestingly, a while ago I found
a sort of very limited Nomic (well, it's a game where you can modify the
rules at least) in Fluxx;

Fluxx, while very enjoyable, is also so random that it verges on not
allowing for real strategy. I think strategy in games is analogous to the
way we put a larger musical structure into code so I fear that limiting the
system in that way will lead to a musically less satisfying experience....
But that's very open for experimentation; I could be completely wrong.
