Could you build this?

Partial The page provides no description, so the purpose is unclear; a frame-rate cap tool would require low-level graphics or process hooking that vibe coding alone may not produce.

What it would actually take: A frame limiter typically hooks the target application's present calls (DXGI/D3D or OpenGL/Vulkan) or uses a driver-level or external timing approach to pace frames. The hard parts are injection that is stable across games and anti-cheat conflicts, plus accurate frame pacing with low latency. This needs systems-level graphics and Windows internals experience.
