Could you build this?
Partial The UI, game logic, and basic rendering prototype are vibe-codeable, but a real-scale planet engine with seamless orbit-to-ground transitions needs advanced graphics and streaming expertise.
What it would actually take: A prototype can use a standard engine with a basic sphere and LOD. Real scale requires quadtree or cube-sphere terrain LOD, floating-origin precision handling, streamed procedural terrain, and atmospheric scattering. Those techniques demand experienced graphics programmers and substantial optimization work.
