Could you build this?
Partial The UI and LLM-driven plan writing are vibe-codeable, but the deterministic fight simulation, balancing, and replay system need real game-engine design work.
What it would actually take: A solo builder can use a web front end, an LLM API to turn plain-language plans into a structured robot policy, and a 2D physics engine such as Box2D or Matter.js. The hard part is making the simulation deterministic and replayable and balancing the ranked ladder so that strategy matters. That requires game-design and simulation expertise to get right.
