Could you build this?
No This is a specialized native educational 3D game with realistic electronics physics simulation (SPICE-like circuit solver) and customized visual debugging tools.
What it would actually take: The application requires a 3D engine like Unity, Unreal, or Apple Metal/SceneKit paired with a customized nodal circuit simulator (like MNA/Modified Nodal Analysis used in SPICE engines) running in real time. It demands deep domain expertise in electrical engineering to accurately simulate component tolerance, AC/DC behavior, and oscilloscope signal generation, as well as 3D asset modeling and level design for 72 puzzle scenarios.
