It runs as a client, and I think the modules are created from the client, but I don't know what language they use, if any. Haven't tried the module creator yet.

Respect, as the kids say. (-: Don't tell the old guy if the kids stopped saying that ten years ago. :-)
I implemented most of the design rules for an old love, Car Wars. It can be hard to implement complex board games.
(My CW stuff was planned as the first step of a full implementation. Steve Jackson Games didn't want that, even if they got to control the servers, so I gave up. It would have been legal to use for game owners, but I really didn't have the motivation to go against the wishes of sjg.)
