collaborative settings / jam modes

[felixroos]

it would be awesome if we could find a way to add an area in the settings that is the same for everyone, and everyone can change it at any time. it could be used to change the "rules" of the jam, similar to how you can switch game modes in some games. here's an example from the game tower fall:

some rules for nudel could be:

• character limit per pane
• disabling strudel features (no samples, only samples, no synths, only synths, only sounds x y z, no functions x y z, only functions x y z, etc... the sky is the limit)
• disabling hydra features
• sudden death (timer that deletes all code every x minutes)
• pane rotation (you can only enter a single pane at a time, and after a timeout, all players rotate)
• enable / disable pasting?!
• enable / disable undo?!
• you cannot evaluate, instead, evaluations will happen every 10 seconds, pane after pane
• ...... and soo much more

For the strudel features, we could try randomizing what would be allowed and see what works. I love these suggestions and I'm looking forward the extra challenge they provide, I think that's great.

It's also good for learning to be limited to a reduced set of tool. I had a great doing such thing in https://github.com/haskell-game/tiny-games-hs
