Could you build this?
Partial While tower defense games can be vibe-coded, this specific project is a headless Go simulation engine designed for systems design with 23 components and AWS pricing telemetry.
What it would actually take: Building this requires a deterministic, tick-based headless simulation engine in Go that models queuing theory, network latency, distributed consensus, and load balancing. The difficult part is balancing and calibrating 23 discrete architectural components against realistic AWS metrics and failure scenarios while maintaining deterministic, high-throughput simulation runs. Expertise in distributed systems engineering and discrete-event simulation is required.
