Partial The editor, visualizer, and page shell are vibe-codeable, but a real version needs a sandboxed execution engine that traces program state for data-structure drawing, and a large curated set of problems and multi-language solutions.
What it would actually take: Build a web app with a Monaco-style editor and an in-browser runtime such as Pyodide, instrumenting execution to capture variables and heap state for each step (e.g. Python sys.settrace or a custom interpreter for other languages). Rendering maps the captured state to SVG or canvas visualizations. The hard parts are reliable tracing across languages and sandboxing untrusted code, and the content library of problems and solutions, which takes sustained editorial work and some CS-education expertise.
