Could you build this?

No Building a cross-platform 2D game framework requires deep systems programming, low-level graphics abstractions, and multi-platform window/audio management.

What it would actually take: A functional implementation relies on Rust, low-level graphics APIs (wgpu/Vulkan/Metal), audio backends (cpal), and platform windowing abstractions (winit). The hardest parts include building an efficient 2D batch renderer, deterministic game loops, and robust cross-platform driver compatibility. This requires veteran systems programming and computer graphics expertise.
