I'm sure something like that is possible; however, I'm willing to bet it would be more worthwhile to invest the time in another developer environment such as Flash that is better suited to handle such a project. Best of luck though...sounds like it would be quite a sight to see if it worked.

I'd use Flash too, for the following reasons:
  • Different browsers might display your content slightly different than you want it to. Flash will guarantee it is exactly as you designed it.
  • Using sounds or video and other features like that, require specific plugins to be installed. If you do it in Flash, you don't need to worry about it.
  • Using Flash can let you have some neat special effect for magic etc. Ajax can work too but not as fast, stable and nice-looking as Flash.
  • If you decide to not make your game browser-based only, you won't be able to make it work as standalone, but from Flash you will be able to export it as .exe/.app.
