Could you build this?
Partial The basic 2D drawing canvas and physics game is straightforward, but parsing arbitrary hand-drawn sketches into segmented skeleton rigs with dynamic hitboxes and local peer-to-peer networking requires non-trivial computer vision and game engine physics.
What it would actually take: The game requires an HTML5 Canvas / WebGL or Godot front-end combined with OpenCV/Wasm for image contour extraction, skeletonization, and automatic rigid-body physics assignment. The hard part is algorithmic stroke analysis to procedurally rig arbitrary doodles into balanced fighting animations and establishing low-latency local P2P networking (WebRTC DataChannels or local Wi-Fi). This requires solid computer vision and game physics engineering experience.
