Could you build this?

No Game engines or low-level runtime engines require deep systems programming, computer graphics math (Vulkan/DirectX/Metal), memory architecture, and physics simulations.

What it would actually take: Developing an engine requires C++ or Rust, modern graphics APIs (Vulkan, DirectX 12, WebGPU), custom memory allocators, scene graphs, entity component systems (ECS), and physics pipelines. The hard parts are writing performant multithreaded rendering loops, shader compilation pipelines, and cross-platform hardware abstraction. This demands years of specialized systems and graphics programming experience.
