Could you build this?
Partial The 3D browser graphics and flying controls are vibe-codeable, but synchronizing real-time authoritative movement, collision detection, and trail growth for 25 simultaneous players in a shared sky requires dedicated game networking.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a 3D browser frontend (Three.js/React Three Fiber) connected via WebSockets or WebRTC DataChannels to a lightweight authoritative server (Node.js or Go with Colyseus/Geckos.io). The hard part is implementing client-side prediction, entity interpolation, and tick-rate synchronization for fast-moving flight physics without desync or lag spikes.
