You can have a look at a recent snapshot, the files are in share/levels/*/settings. The parsing code is in glue.c.

I would like to have functions so that I can write

x = random(1,10)

or something. I think it can be added quite easily.

No, only playability. But as Eero said semi-realism is the easiest way
to fun behaviour.

Maybe after the game is fun on one box :-)
