Could you build this?
Partial Creating a web or standalone VR game requires 3D physics, locomotion systems, and VR SDK integration (OpenXR/Unity/WebXR) which goes beyond simple vibe-coded scripts.
What it would actually take: Building a functional swinging VR game requires an engine like Unity, Unreal, or WebXR/Three.js with physics-based rope dynamics, inverse kinematics for character arms, and latency-optimized VR rendering. It demands game design, 3D math, and physics tuning to prevent motion sickness and ensure reliable controller tracking.
