Could you build this?
Partial A set of browser games with lobby links is vibe-codeable at small scale using WebSockets and canvas. Real-time multiplayer with 24-player battle royales and 16 games, however, needs netcode, server infrastructure, and game-design work that vibe coding alone won't deliver.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a WebSocket or WebRTC server with authoritative game state, a client renderer (canvas or WebGL), and lobby and matchmaking logic. The hard parts are latency handling and synchronization for large lobbies, plus scaling servers to concurrent players. This requires experienced multiplayer game-networking engineering.
