Could you build this?

Partial The menu, options, and config-upload UI are straightforward and vibe-codeable. The core game requires running a GoldSrc-engine game in the browser, and multiplayer requires netcode and servers, which are hard pieces.

What it would actually take: The practical route is to adapt an existing open-source GoldSrc/Xash3D-style engine compiled to WebAssembly, then add a browser-to-server transport such as WebRTC or WebSocket proxying to a dedicated game server. Netcode latency handling and hosting are the hard parts. Game assets are copyrighted, so the builder needs to handle licensing or use legally distributable assets.
