Description
Start with a tiny garage lab and grow it into a sprawling AI compute campus. Place racks, power and cooling on a physical grid, install GPUs, take on inference, training and research contracts, and hire technicians to build, upgrade and repair your facility. Expand through 15 departments, research better hardware and automate operations. A mobile idle strategy game for iPhone and Android.

Could you build this?
Partial While an AI coding assistant can scaffold simulation logic, building a full tycoon management game requires significant game engine architecture, state machines, balance tuning, and graphic assets.
What it would actually take: A production version requires a game engine like Godot or Unity with C#/GDScript or an advanced web canvas setup (PixiJS/Three.js). Core challenges include developing a robust discrete-event simulation engine for power/cooling networks, grid-based pathfinding, and intricate economic simulation balancing. Game design and asset creation are essential and cannot be purely vibe-coded.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a workflow automation tool for Real estate yet.
