No Parin is a custom 2D game engine written in Dlang, requiring low-level systems programming, graphics API abstraction, memory management, and engine architecture.
What it would actually take: Needs Dlang systems development interfacing with native graphics backends like OpenGL, Vulkan, or low-level C libraries. The difficult parts include building a performant 2D sprite batching system, spatial partitioning for collision detection, resource management pipelines, and cross-platform window/event abstraction. This requires deep game engine architecture and systems programming expertise.

Concerns raised: Non-existent mobile support for Dlang, DMD compiler compatibility on modern Macs / Apple Silicon
