Could you build this?

Partial Implementing 160 different functional game engines with peer-to-peer local networking (Wi-Fi Direct/Hotspot/Bluetooth) is an enormous development effort far beyond quick vibe coding.

What it would actually take: A real app requires an engine like Flutter or Unity, integrating native local peer-to-peer protocols (MultipeerConnectivity on iOS, Wi-Fi P2P / Nearby Connections on Android). The critical challenge is building or adapting 160 distinct game state machines and conflict-free real-time state synchronization across devices without internet access.
