Could you build this?

Partial The tray app and music control via Spotify or system media APIs are easy to build, but reliably detecting VALORANT round state without an official game-state API is the hard part, and it can conflict with the game's anti-cheat.

What it would actually take: A real version needs a reliable game-state signal: this could be screen or pixel-based detection of round and death UI, or parsing local client files if they exist. The hard parts are robustness across game updates and avoiding anti-cheat (Vanguard) interference, which calls for reverse-engineering and computer-vision work beyond vibe coding.
