Could you build this?
Partial A game creation portal that prompts LLMs to generate browser games (HTML5/Canvas) is vibe-codeable, but real-time multiplayer networking, asset generation pipelines, and secure sandboxing at scale require specialized infra.
What it would actually take: A robust version requires an automated compilation/bundling pipeline that validates generated code within isolated WebAssembly/iframe sandboxes to prevent cross-site scripting. The hard parts include deterministic real-time multiplayer state synchronization (e.g., using WebSockets/WebTransport and CRDTs) and multimodal asset generation (sprites, audio, 3D meshes) constrained to game-ready memory footprints. It requires real-time systems and browser runtime security expertise.
