Could you build this?

No It recompiles a closed-source Flash game into native C++, which requires reverse engineering the original binary and semantics. Vibe coding cannot substitute for that expertise.

What it would actually take: Building this means decompiling or lifting the original ActionScript/Flash runtime into an intermediate representation and generating C++ with a runtime that reproduces Flash behavior, timing, and rendering. It requires deep knowledge of compilers, binary formats, and the Flash VM, plus extensive testing against the original game. The effort is comparable to a research-grade emulation or decompilation project.
