Learning to script...want a project to work on (making a small MUD)

Will it be possible to make a MUD using unix script(bash)? I know I can easilly make a "dungeon" with different rooms I can run through and such(kinda like a maze game) . What I did was made a differnt shell script for each room and used CASE for the different places to go, ex. when you press N for north it would call up the script file for the room to the north . Now that I know I can make a maze of rooms like this...is there a way for me to make a universal file that runs in the background that will control the "monsters" that will roam my maze...and different commands that will work in whatever room Im in(ex. typing /help anywhere pulls up the help script then returns me to whatever room I was in after Im done). Is this too complex for a script?? This is my first exposure to scripting/programming. If I can do this with script...am I going about it all wrong? Any help/links is very much appreciated thanks!

NAME

       script - make record of a terminal session

SYNOPSIS

       script [-a] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       The  script  utility  makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
       record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.

       The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
       when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.

OPTIONS

       The following option is supported:

       -a    Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.

NOTES

       script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

WARNINGS

       script  can  pose  a  security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
       privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
