Could you build this?

Partial A playable browser prototype of a Terraria-like 2D sandbox is vibe-codeable. A faithful 1.4.5.8 rewrite with accurate physics, world generation, multiplayer, and the original asset set is a very large reverse-engineering project with IP constraints.

What it would actually take: The stack would be a canvas or WebGL game engine in TypeScript, a tile-based world model with procedural generation, and a sprite pipeline that either recreates assets or reads them from the game's files. Matching original behavior requires reverse-engineering the game's logic, which is expensive, and multiplayer needs a netcode layer with server authority. This takes game-engine and reverse-engineering expertise and months of work at minimum.
