Consider an embedded scripting language for much of the game behavior.

Game behavior will involve lots of math and tweaking and fiddling with. This portion of the code, I'd say, makes much more sense being done in a lighted language like JavaScript or Lua.

This will also open the door for customization and run-time fixes for certain portions of game behavior since we could be recompiling these scripts at runtime. That's pretty significant, and it'd be good to try and get a feel for our options before we start to lay out these game mechanics in code.

We should look at http://github.com/stevedonovan/luar if we wanted to go with Lua. There's a project for V8 bindings by mattn but I'm not sure it has the level of support for shuttling native Go objects that we need. I'll have to take a closer look.
