Video Game Concept

I had a video game concept that I wanted to start working on, but I realized quickly that it was far too grand in scope to be realistic. Therefore, I thought up a more simple game, though it may sound complex. It is called Artie, short for Artificial Intelligence. It is a small game that allows the player to build their own AI program that will then go on to build other things depending on how the player "nurtures" the program from its infancy. The concept it based on the idea that an AI program will be a learning computer and is very impressionable at the start. The game will allow the player to "program" the AI in any way they wish, with variation and customization being the selling point of the game (selling point does not imply I wish to make money off of the game).
