I know nothing about Unity, I'm asking here mostly for basic knowledge so I know what to google :)
Note that I know that this kind of game should be best done in Flash but I was toying with Flash and well, we are not meant for each other :D Alternatively, if you know of a trick to convert it to Flash I could use it as well.
I'm familiar with: C/C++, PHP, HTML, SQL, JS, Java, OpenGL, DX5, LUA (and Flash but I forgot how it worked :D).
My coding style is of a hardcore programmer (no visual stuff if possible, I want to put everyting in some sort of Notepad if possible, that's also why I'm not so fond of Flash).
The game is basicly text (later I would add static 2D images), so something far below a typical use of Unity. Here is the link:

I wonder how to approach it (what are my options). In an ideal world there would be somesort of automatic converter from PHP to Unity scripting language and then a renderer that works like HTML :D I guess there is not such thing, but I would regret it for the rest of my life it there was and I have not asked. Another option would be some 2D mode in Unity with a lot of cute and nice features to handle text (the more similar to HTML the better - in Flash there was some object/mode/I forgot that allowed you to render exact HTML, it would be the best).
Also could you drop me some minimalistic "Hello World" example (not dumping the text to the console but on the screen)?
