Could you build this?
Partial The game's rules, UI, and browser rendering are vibe-codeable, but a reliable real-time multiplayer arena needs authoritative netcode, latency handling, and scalable server infrastructure that the AI assistant alone won't get right.
What it would actually take: A typical stack is a browser client (Canvas or PixiJS) talking over WebSockets to an authoritative server (Node or Go, possibly Colyseus or a custom room system) that runs the tick loop and physics. The hard parts are client prediction and interpolation to hide latency, deterministic lava and disaster event timing across clients, and horizontal scaling of game rooms with matchmaking. This needs someone with real-time networking experience and load-testing and ops skills, not just prompting.
