Could you build this?

Partial Creating a mobile web UI or native wrapper is straightforward, but creating an in-browser or on-device LLM-driven runtime that reliably generates, hot-reloads, and executes playable 2D game state in real time is technically complex.

What it would actually take: The product needs a mobile-optimized frontend (React/React Native or Web) integrated with an agentic LLM code-generation backend and a sandboxed 2D game engine (such as Phaser.js or PixiJS in an isolated iframe or web worker). The challenge lies in prompt engineering structured game logic (AST or state-machine constrained code), error interceptors that feed syntax/runtime bugs back into the model for self-healing, and low-latency code hot-reloading on touch devices.
