Could you build this?
No If referring to the Laya/LayaAir cross-platform 2D/3D game engine, building it requires low-level graphics programming and deep systems architecture far beyond AI-assisted code generation.
What it would actually take: Building a production game engine requires deep graphics engineering using WebGL, WebGPU, Vulkan, and C++/Rust/Wasm, alongside custom scenegraph, animation, and physics pipelines. It also requires cross-platform export compilers and low-level memory management optimizations developed by experienced engine architects.
