Could you build this?

Partial A 2D/3D physics game can be mocked in Unity or Godot, but responsive real-time multiplayer physics over the internet requires deterministic netcode.

What it would actually take: Built with Godot or Unity paired with a multiplayer framework like Photon Fusion or Nakama. The primary challenge is implementing deterministic 2D/3D physics or client-side prediction with lag compensation and rollbacks so inclined bank shots synchronise reliably across variable latency mobile networks.
